Funnily enough they could be talking about me!

British Military

The British Military writes EPRs and officer fitness
reports. The form used for Royal Navy and Marines fitness
reports is the S206. The following are ACTUAL EXCERPTS taken
from people's "206's"....

- His men would follow him anywhere, but only out of
curiosity.
- I would not breed from this Officer.
- This Officer is really not so much of a has-been, but more
of a definitely won't-be.
- When she opens her mouth, it seems that this is only to
change whichever foot was previously in there.
- He has carried out each and every one of his duties to his
entire satisfaction.
- He would be out of his depth in a car park puddle.
- Technically sound, but socially impossible.
- This Officer reminds me very much of a gyroscope - always
spinning around at a frantic pace, but not really going
anywhere.
- This young lady has delusions of adequacy.
- When he joined my ship, this Officer was something of a
granny; since then he has aged considerably.
- Since my last report he has reached rock bottom, and has
started to dig.
- She sets low personal standards and then consistently
fails to achieve them.
- He has the wisdom of youth, and the energy of old age.
- This Officer should go far - and the sooner he starts, the
better.
- In my opinion this pilot should not be authorized to fly
below 250 feet.
- This man is depriving a village somewhere of an idiot.
- The only ship I would recommend this man for is
citizenship.
- Works well when under constant supervision and cornered
like a rat in a trap.

I'm not part of the military... but this is me!

[The F-H.C.A.G.]

I've heard these already. My favorite has always been, "I would not breed from this officer"! But that follows right along with my profession.

Be well,

P.S. It's 8:14 pm here

It's a good thing that I got passed over for promotion - more than one of these would have shown up in the semi-annual and annual EPRs.

An advert as seen in a recent farming magazine:"Wanted general farm worker aged 20, with 40 years experience".

But is that 40 years experience, or one year repeated 40 times? Worked with more than a few of those. . .

He has the wisdom of youth, and the energy of old age.

I generally tend to start out slow and then taper off.

Thanks. I wrote many OERs in the Air Force and don't remember receiving such comments or giving them. However, I've always liked the definition of a second lieutenant:"All airspeed and no direction."

Reminds me of one of our old support element's motto:
"We're not good, but we're slow!"
