Episode 19 - How to use the NCOER Support Form
Send us a textIn this episode, we discuss the Army NCOER Support Form and how it is a comprehensive document and how it provides a detailed assessment of an individual's performance as a Non-Commissioned Officer in the United States Army. It also serves as a record of the NCO's leadership abilities, job knowledge, and overall proficiency, and provides a framework for setting performance goals and identifying areas for improvement. The NCOER support form is an essential tool for evaluating and promoting NCOs, providing a fair and accurate assessment of their performance, and ensuring that the Army has the most competent and highly skilled leaders possible. By providing a clear and objective evaluation of an NCO's performance, the Army can identify areas for improvement and develop training and leadership programs to ensure that NCOs continue to grow and develop throughout their careers in the Army.Support the showThanks for listening, please download and leave a review.Remember, you don't have to embrace the suck, if you have the right tools in your ruck!

Episode 18 - Congress Moving Crime Out of Chain of Command's Jurisdiction
Send us a textToday we talk about the highlights of significant changes of how the military is handling serious crimes. In the past, crimes such as murder, sexual assault, and harassment have been notoriously underreported, and perpetrators often received lenient punishment. However, the Department of Defense has implemented a new system to handle these cases, by removing the chain of command's authority to prosecute them. The article also highlights the importance of holding those in the military accountable for their actions. In the end, the article provides an optimistic outlook on how these changes will improve the military justice system and protect its victims.Remember, you don't have to embrace the suck, if you have the right tools in your ruck!
