Writing NCOER bullets shouldn't take half a Saturday. NCO Kit's free AI NCOER bullet generator turns plain-language notes into Army-standard, AR 623-3 aligned bullets — by MOS, for all six rated sections of the NCOER. No install, no CAC required, no Army network dependency. Works on your phone, your personal laptop, or any device with internet access.

An NCOER bullet is a single-line performance comment that appears on DA Form 2166-9-1A/1B/1C — the Non-Commissioned Officer Evaluation Report. Bullets sit under the six rated sections: Character, Presence, and Intellect (the three NCO attributes), plus Leads, Develops, and Achieves (the three NCO competencies).
Per AR 623-3 and the latest DA PAM, each bullet should:
- Begin with a lowercase "o" (Army convention indicating the start of a bullet).
- Lead with an action verb — built, led, executed, mentored, recovered, certified.
- Include a quantified impact — soldiers trained, dollars saved, hours reclaimed, rates improved, FLIPLs prevented.
- Fit within the character limit for the section (typically two lines maximum, one preferred).
- Stay specific to the rated NCO's actual job — generic bullets get raters questioned at the rater profile review.
That's a lot of rules to keep in your head at 2200 hours the night before a packet is due. The NCOER bullet generator handles them automatically.
How the Generator Works
Three steps. Most leaders finish a section in under two minutes:
- Enter the Soldier's name, rank, and MOS. The MOS dropdown supports every Army occupational specialty — 11B Infantry, 68W Combat Medic, 42A Human Resources, 92A Automated Logistical Specialist, 25B IT Specialist, 35F All-Source Intelligence, and the rest. The generator uses the MOS to choose the right vocabulary and reference the right metrics.
- Pick the NCOER section. Character, Presence, Intellect, Leads, Develops, or Achieves. If the action you describe fits a different section better, the tool's cross-attribute advisor flags it before you submit — so you don't waste a bullet on the wrong section.
- Describe what the Soldier did in plain English. Don't worry about formatting. Type the way you'd tell a peer at the chow hall: "She ran the BN PT program for six months, got nine soldiers to retake and pass the AFT, never missed a session." The AI converts that into a properly formatted, AR 623-3 aligned bullet you can paste straight into the NCOER support form.
Sample Output by Section
The generator produces bullets that look like the examples below. Each one starts with the lowercase "o," opens with an action verb, includes a quantified impact, and is sized to fit the NCOER section.
Leads
Develops
Achieves
Character
Presence
Intellect
MOS-Specific Bullets
The generator tailors language and metrics to the Soldier's job. We have step-by-step guides for the most-rated MOS already on the blog:
- NCOER Bullets for 68W Combat Medics — patient care, BCT/TC3 currency, MEDEVAC, casualty evac
- NCOER Bullets for 42A Human Resources Specialists — personnel actions, NCOERs processed, retention, S1 metrics
- NCOER Bullets for 92A Automated Logistical Specialists — property accountability, FLIPL, GCSS-Army, inventory
More MOS guides are being added. The bullet generator itself already supports every MOS — the blog posts just walk you through worked examples.
Built for Army Standards
The generator was built by an NCO, not a startup that learned about evaluations from a Wikipedia page. Every bullet is shaped around:
- AR 623-3 (Evaluation Reporting System) — governs what an NCOER is, who rates whom, and how bullets should read.
- FM 6-22 (Developing Leaders) — defines the Army's leader requirements model that the NCOER attributes and competencies are drawn from.
- DA PAM 623-3 — the procedural companion that spells out the mechanics most leaders forget.
- Character limits per section — bullets are sized to fit, not truncated when you paste.
Final responsibility for the rated NCOER still sits with you as the rater. The generator gets you to a clean first draft in seconds; you make the call on whether it goes in.
Why It's Free
Three lifetime generations to try it anonymously. Ten generations per month free after you make an account. Unlimited at $10/month or $97/year if you're writing packets often or want the full kit (DA 4856 counseling generator, OER bullet builder, AFT scorer, awards writer, AR 25-50 memo generator, soldier roster, senior rater narrative generator). No CAC card. No DoD network needed. No app to install — it runs in any browser.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the NCOER bullet generator free?
Yes. Anonymous users get 3 lifetime generations to try it. Free accounts get 10 AI generations per month. Premium is unlimited at $10/month or $97/year.
What format do the bullets come back in?
AR 623-3 NCOER format: lowercase "o" at the start, action-verb opener, quantified impact, fits the character limit. Paste straight into DA Form 2166-9-1A/1B/1C.
Does it support all MOS?
Yes — every Army MOS. The generator tailors language and metrics to the Soldier's job. Pick the MOS from the dropdown before generating.
What NCOER sections does it cover?
All six rated sections: Character, Presence, Intellect (the attributes) and Leads, Develops, Achieves (the competencies). If the bullet you describe fits a different section, the cross-attribute advisor flags it.
Does it work on a government computer?
Yes. Browser-only, no install, no CAC, no Army network dependency. Works on any phone, personal laptop, or any device with internet access.
How is this different from a generic AI chatbot?
A generic chatbot doesn't know AR 623-3, the six rated sections, the character limits, or MOS-specific language. NCO Kit's generator is built around those rules — it returns bullets that are formatted, scoped, and structured for the NCOER.
