OERs - Things To Keep In Mind • The OER CAN NOT be the first time an officer is made aware of his/her good or poor performance. • Promotion board members have a lot of OERs to read. Do them a favor BE CONCISE. • Tie comments to metrics simply by using “ 3. a. ”, “ 5. b. ” etc. , as lead-in to the comment. (e. g. “ 3. a. , expertly planned high visibility international…. results; improved coordination of marine forecasts between…”) • Fluff is not taken kindly by board members 12 HONOR RESPECT COMMITMENT

Command initiated progress meetings to keep the officer on track, additional time management training has been scheduled. 15 HONOR RESPECT COMMITMENT
