The ceremony, in front of the European optometrists, recognized COL Davis' outstanding accomplishments and selfless service as Optometry Consultant to The Surgeon General and as Chief, Army Optometry. OER Briefings . This summer we will all be attending briefings on the new OER system. I can not stress how important it is for all of you to attend at least one of these briefings. Of equal importance is that you make sure you rater and senior rater attend and stay awake through the entire briefing.
Officers can no longer expect to get a top block rating on every report.
Rater and senior rater comments will become more important in discriminating the average from the above average officers. It also means that center of mass will become the primary block checked on OERs. The board will never see the actual check mark. Because we can all afford to smile more often. I would not live forever, because we should not live forever, because if we were supposed to live forever, then we would live forever, but we cannot live forever, which is why I would not live forever.
