Reports in this paragraph and in chapter 3, section X, may be submitted at the option of rating officials.
a. “Complete the Record” report
At the option of the rater, an OER or NCOER may be submitted on a rated officer or NCO who is about to be considered by an HQDA selection board for promotion or schooling (for example, officers competing for a senior Service college).
However, the rated officer or NCO will have served for a minimum of 120 calendar days (excluding nonrated periods) in the same position under the same rater as of the date of the memorandum announcing the zone of consideration.
b. “Senior Rater Option” report
When a change in the senior rater occurs, the senior rater may direct that an “SR- Option” report be made on any officer or NCO they senior rates.
This applies only if the following conditions are met:
(1)
The senior rater has served in that position for at least 60 days.
(2)
The rater meets the minimum requirements to give an “SR-Option.”
(3)
The rated Soldier has not received an OER or NCOER in the preceding 6 months.
c. Rater Option evaluation report (DA Form 67–10 series only)
When one of the conditions described in paragraphs 3–40 through 3–43 occurs but there are fewer than 120 calendar days (excluding nonrated periods) in the rating period, a Rater Option may be submitted on a rated officer at the option of the rater.
However, the rated officer will have served continuously under the same rater in the same position for 120 or more calendar days in a previous rating period.
