Military Evaluation System Pros And Cons

This concerning issue is apparent between the total force leadership and the subordinate commands. It can be felt at the operational level with the advent of a new evaluation form that encourages more competition among Airman for promotion. The purpose of the assessment is to capture the workers’ job performance over a course a year to compare ratings with others in and outside of a career field. This systemic problem is only exacerbated by ignorance of the issue or intentionally disregarded. Whatever the case the sense of individualism is embraced where team effort is preached. For example, at my rank I have to withhold my intentions when it comes to professional development and volunteer opportunities so I can stand out more for the sake of promotion competition. In addition, there is another arbitrary test that is used to measure your ability to lead and influence others in the Air Force. This test is a replacement for face-to-face training for personnel to learn these interpersonal skills. This unnecessary examination puts another obstacle for the airman that care more about the mission than studying a 1400 pages’ worth of material to prepare for such

As the Army transitions from the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan, the organization is well served to take a long look in the mirror. After ten plus years of deployments, our combat tested warriors are sure to possess more than enough valuable knowledge to reinforce and improve upon our status as a profession. A TRADOC published paper explains “to be a professional is to understand, embrace, and competently practice the expertise of the profession.” I believe the profession of arms exists and there are many components that reinforce this argument. Among these components, initial entry training and institutional learning, shared values, and a monopoly on our mission are three of the most important tenants. All Soldiers must graduate

For over 200 years naval officers have been commissioned to make decisions that can risk, endanger, and even save lives, all while ensuring the safety and security of the United States. It takes great honor to support and defend the country that serves freedom to its citizens. Having honor is living true to oneself. It requires difficult decisions that are honest, true, and ethical both personally and

Conscientious effort is required to develop and prepare Soldiers and Army Civilians to make right decisions and to take attendant actions (The White Paper, 2016). Leaders are in control of refining the quality of character instilled in Soldiers and DA civilians. How does the military as a whole directly guarantee proper character development to the force, you might ask? Or what should effective leaders do to indoctrinate Army values and characteristics within their ranks? They do so by teaching the Army values to every new recruits from day one of basic training as soon as they step off the bus. Collectively with the multitude of attributes given from our leaders through years of experience and ADRP 1/ADP 6-22; these values have established the groundwork for Soldiers to use as basis of what it is to be a person good character. After members absorb these values, their leaders certify devotion. Abiding to these ethics of the Army values embodies cohesion; it challenges the belief and self-confidence crucial to cooperation and mission success.

The purpose of this paper is to acquaint the readers with an ethical issue with NCOERs that I came across while serving as a First Sergeant. I was appalled to learn that leaders and raters are writing inaccurate and irrelevant NCOERs and making them less effective, because NCOs are not applying themselves. NCOs expect to be evaluated fairly, objectively, and want to be receiving an NCOER that will allow them to excel for further promotion and assignments. An NCO wants to have the faith that their rater is competent enough to give them a proper rating, good or bad, on their

A personal assessment of 91 was achieved. This is somewhat expected and a result of past experiences. Morale can shape the goals. There is always a battle going on between job satisfaction and job security. Each has its indirect value to the organization. Job satisfaction has the biggest impact on the organization. The military is probably the greatest example managing the morale of the organization. Failure should not be an option. In any organization, high more is the difference between accomplishing goals, and taking a wait and see attitude that is evident in the 2.6 and 3.4 range of the morale survey (Manning, 2014). When soldiers kick in doors to accomplish the missions, the very difficult and dangerous task are achieved only by placing high trust in the leadership. Education is on the opposite end of the spectrum from a military operation, but the components are very

The announcement by the Navy to reinstore rating titles was welcomed with enthusiasm by almost all personnel. The initial decision to remove them was looked at by the majority of navy sailors as an affront to centuries of tradition. Sailors take a great deal of pride in not only their branch and ship, but also at a more personnel level they take pride in their accomplishments in their chosen career path. By removing the rating titles and going to a strict rank and

This paper is about the problems the military is having on the fairness of military awards and the bias towards junior officers and junior soldiers not getting the higher awards. First, should military awards be based on rank or merit because hard work and merit is the reason for the award? Even though rank may play a small factor, should military awards be based on rank or merit because hard work and merit is the reason for the award, rank should not be a factor in the award,

The Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO) Corps needs help in the promotion process or the future of the NCO Corps will be in danger of having well educated NCO’s without job-related experience. It has automatic promotions for lower enlisted soldiers, letting them get promoted without knowing military or job-related items. NCOs’ can get promoted in the current process without even doing their job as long as they know how to get by a promotion board. NCO’s only had to memorize some regulations, field manuals, and a few Creeds to pass a promotion board. The promotion boards do not even ask job-related questions to see if the NCO knows anything about his current position. The current promotion process uses a points system and holds soldiers back from getting promoted. The point system is broken down but puts too much emphasis on certain areas which have nothing to do with their current position. This current promotion system has to change just like the way the military is asking NCO’s to change and become more civilian-educated.

Army Doctrine Reference Publication 1-0 states, “living by and upholding the moral principles of the Army Ethic” is the foundation to our profession. An organization cannot survive if there are no foundation for morals. The organization will internally implode. This is a critical fact for the Army. Individuals that do not have a foundation that aligns with the Army’s foundation is detrimental to the organization. The purpose for this short paper is to explore the fundamentals of our profession; examine the need for structure; how to return to basics of the profession; who needs to enforce standards; finally, implementing a culture change within the Army. Army leaders have categorized the four problems that currently plague the Army

7. One may argue that new enlistees in the Coast Guard have a purpose and know what they want to do, but the facts that are presented are the Coast Guard is 3500 people short at the non-rate level. We are accepting everyone who walks through our recruiting doors, and still can fill our personnel gap. The US economy is struggling so new recruits’ do not have the exposure required to make an educated decision on a career path. The Coast Guard will make more efficient Petty Officers as long as future goals of its service align with the future goals of the

Turn on the TV or read a newspaper and it won’t be long before you hear or read about a high ranking military member being charged with or facing allegations of misconduct. As a result of recent headlines, we as a military organization are losing the sacred trust invested in us by the very people we are in uniform to protect, the American people. This includes the young men and women who will join our ranks on a daily basis. We as a professional organization need to bring about a cultural change, a re-calibration of sorts, within the ranks of our Officers and Non-Commissioned Officers. Only after we realign our leaders can we begin to eliminate the ineffective leaders and nurture a new professional organization, one that can rebuild

Career: Do not be the Soldier that waits to the last year to tried to get all the points needed to get promoted. I had a Soldier three years ago that did not wanted to do anything for his military career and just wanted to get out. When reality hit him the last year because he would not be able to help himself financially. He was not even half way with the points needed or completed BLC. I just could not help him at all because he has done nothing to show that he wanted to move within the

Left to their own devices, many people slack off by procrastinating and taking employment with jobs that have no advancement opportunities. This could be due to their having a lack of skill, not enough education or, simply, no desire for financial or career success. The military nips such notions in the bud by providing career and educational counseling. By gaining and using newfound skills, many are encouraged to succeed and gain determination,
