Most of us at one time or another have had to prepare efficiency reports and job evaluations for someone. In the military these ratings/evaluations are essential for promotions and choice assignments. Far too often people are given satisfactory or better reports just to keep them happy. That is one of the reasons that in many occupations there are incompetents in charge. My compliments to the people who prepared these ratings. They did the right thing. I also suspect that all of us have at one time or another have had a co-worker or supervisor to whom many of these comments could pertain.
BRITISH MILITARY OFFICERS' REPORTS
I am told the below are actual excerpts from staff assessments conducted by BRITISH MILITARY OFFICERS.
1. His men would follow him anywhere, but only out of idle curiosity.
2. I would not breed from this Officer.
3. This man is depriving a village somewhere of its idiot.

10. Technically sound, but socially impossible.
11. The occasional flashes of adequacy are marred by an attitude of apathy and indifference.

13. This Medical Officer has used my ship to carry his genitals from port to port, and my officers to carry him from bar to bar.
14. This Officer reminds me very much of a gyroscope, always spinning around at a frantic pace, but not really going anywhere.
15. Since my last report he has reached rock bottom, and has started to dig.
16. She sets low personal standards and then consistently fails to achieve them.
17. He has the wisdom of youth, and the energy of old age.
