Annual Assessments - Character Assassination Gems

Had a reporting senior who was proud at being able to stay out of the Fleet Marine Force for almost six while years staying in the puzzle palace.
He joined us overseas and was not acclimated to the local situation. He had a rather stressful day where I basically took over just prior to the fitness report being written.
Part of my section "C" comments on the next fitness report:
________ is in great physical condition. Sets the highest standards for himself and others around him, especially his seniors. Physically intimidates seniors and does not play the political game well though he appears to command both USMC and other forces effortlessly. Not political enough for the USMC and should be kept away from any assignment requiring diplomacy."

Samuel,
I actually took it as a compliment. I have had other reporting seniors look at it and all the comments were along the lines of "What a f**king p**sy".
An enlarged copy went up in the units casual bar (a BOQ room assigned to an imaginery officer) for all to see. It always caused great embarrassment to the reporting senior and usually free libations to myself when present. He became quite uncomfortable at the bar and ordered the report taken down, but unfortunately the rules have the two most junior Lt.s holding sway and it remained.
The same reporting senior didn't like the meals that were always appeared during official functions (dining in, dining out, mess night, etc.). Irresepective of what he ordered only a can Slim Fast would show up on his plate.
S/F, Marine

some years ago i was standing up straight in front of my sqn boss who told me,
" you have lots of outstanding qualities and if there was a war you would be exactly the sort of chap that we would need however, as it is, i cannot recommend your promotion to master aircrew and i'm issuing you with a formal warning"
didn't quite know how to take that at the time!!

The Pprune home page states that this forum is for 'the professionals who fly the non-civilian hardware'. Since only pilots actually fly the hardware, presumably you would like all the navs, flt engineers, loadies, etc to pi$$ off too. And, of course, us ex-pilots.

Comment during the pure handling phase of an AAC Observer Course, to the student who was Royal Engineer cap-badged...
QHI: "Bl@@dy hell, Cpl D*****, you're flying this thing like a digger driver"
Cpl D: "Funny you should say that sir - actually....."

Of a female UAS stude
" This woman will never make a pilot so long as I have a hole in my ass"
I once was a member of a Cpl to Sgt promotion board, scary that they let aircrew in on this, and a couple of the comments I recall from 6442s were:
" Cpl XXX is the Gunner Sugden of the propulsion trade" and
" Cpl YYY is very popular on the shift, particularly when he brings in the fairy cakes he bakes at home "

An (undebriefed) 2RO F1369 narrative started as follows: "On first meeting, Flt Lt NNNN inspires little confidence in his abilities: a retiring individual, he is somewhat lacking in impact and is not a particularly commanding or dynamic leader." The subject is now a sqn ldr!
