The "comment" that is allowed to be submitted must be factual, concise, and limited to matters directly related to the evaluation on the OER. Furthermore, there can be no attachments/enclosures to the "comment." If an Officer attempts to submit an attachment or enclosure, the S1 will not upload it with the "comment" itself. Essentially, the comment is the opportunity for the Officer in question to explain his/her side of whatever happened and to list additional accomplishments during the rated period that were not mentioned. Any Officer that has been notified that he/she has the opportunity to submit a comment to an OER should consult with a military lawyer. Before the members initiate the program, they must fill out an application and be interviewed. During the program, the members are mainly assessed based on o... For all evaluation reports, if previously reported information later proves to be incorrect or erroneous, the Soldier will be notified and advised of the right to appeal the evaluation report in accordance with chapter 4.

Display the capacity to assess situations shrewdly and draw sound conclusions; form sound opinions, make sensible decisions and reliable guesses; assess the strengths and weaknesses of subordinates, peers, and enemies to create appropriate solutions and action. The first way for an NCO to appeal an NCOER is through something called a Commander's or Commandant's Inquiry. Essentially, if any alleged error, injustice, or inaccuracy is brought to a Commander or Commandant, he/she can conduct an inquiry to determine if relief is warranted. The Commander/Commandant in question must be above the designated rating official involved in the alleged error, injustice or inaccuracy. Any request for an inquiry must be made no later than 60 days after the signature date of the rated Soldier. The results of the inquiry will be forwarded to HQDA no later than 120 days after the signature date of the senior rater.

The HQDA receipt of evaluation reports after the required receipt date, or past a suspense date directed by an HQDA selection board, will not be an automatic basis for appealing either the evaluation report or selection board results. IDENTIFICATION, SURVEILLANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION OF PERSONNEL INFECTED WITH HUMAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUS CONSULAR PROTECTION OF FOREIGN NATIONALS SUBJECT TO THE UNIFORM CODE OF MILITARY JUSTICE {SECNAVINST 5820.6; AFR 110-13} (REPRINTED W/BASIC INCL C1) An OER appeal, if successful, can result in complete removal of the OER in question or only the deletion of certain comments. Furthermore, if the appeal is successful, the board will determine if the OER was seen by any previous promotion boards and if reconsideration of said promotion is warranted. If the OER appeal is not successful, a copy of the board's decision memorandum will be filed in the Officer's OMPF. While it is unlikely, it is possible for the Board to deny the appeal and make the OER in question worse. Also, the author can illustrate the importance of this ethics under Department of Defense Directive 5500.7, Standard of Conduct, which provides guidelines to...

Any NCO who receives an evaluation report that he/she believes is inaccurate or unjust has several ways to submit an NCOER appeal. If new favorable information potentially resulting in a higher evaluation is discovered by the Soldier, he or she may appeal the evaluation report based on the new information in accordance with the appeal policy stated in chapter 4 and procedures in DA Pam 623–3.

If an Officer receives a "referred OER," or "relief for cause OER," AR 623-3, paragraph 3-27, requires that he/she be allowed to submit a "comment" to the OER that becomes an enclosure to it. "Referred" is defined as follows:Regardless of whether a Commander's/Commandant's inquiry was conducted, and regardless of any OER Comment, an Officer can appeal any evaluation received. If an OER appeal is based only on an administrative error, it should be sent to HRC, Evaluations Appeals Branch (AHRC-PDV-EA). Administrative errors include, but are not limited to, deviation from established rating chain, insufficient period of observation by the rating officials, signature errors in the evaluation report period, and errors in the APFT and/or height/weight entries. Administrative errors that were known, or should have been known, by the rated Officer and/or rating officials at the time that the evaluation report was signed, will not be corrected. As expressed in AR 623-3, an NCOER appeal needs to be well-written and supported by evidence. The assistance of a military lawyer is advisable.
