Artificial limits on the number of top marks given isn't going to fix the problems.
So take a Group and the senior enlisted. Multiple MSG, 1SG, SGM's and CSM's (think about how many there are in Group, I'm not giving the number here). The Group Commander is only allowed to rate half of them as "Most qualified" when, by definition, all of them should be "Most Qualified". Even if you say the theoretical 10% haven't been weeded out by E-9, that still should result in 90% "Most Qualified". The same situation applies to E-8. Half your Team Sergeants are going to be rated as less than "Most Qualified" and will be ranked lower than 50% of conventional E-8s
So now when HRC is looking at promotions, 50% of the Group SGM and CSMs are going to rate Lower than half the conventional CSM and SGM's and be subject to movement into the "nominative" program. How is that fair?
NCOER's need to be objective. This changes the process from one that is highly subjective to another that is highly subjective. It doesn't fix the problem, it's a change for change's sake.
