Something that was said in another thread got me thinking about one time when I was in the AF and were looking over some performance reviews and reinterpreting what the phrases used really meant:

Statement: "Airman Smith is a developing asset"
Translation: "He's not achieved enough rank to be a complete ass, so he's an asset for now"

Statement: "Sgt. Garcia is a well rounded individual"
Translation: "He's on the weight control program"

Anyone got some more?

Statement: "Private Spiffy is very team oriented"
Translation: "He's unable to do anything by himself"

Statement: Slippy displays great dexterity and agility.

Translation: He dodges and evades superiors well.

Statement: Slippy consults with co-workers often.

Translation: He is indecisive, confused, and clueless.

Statement: Slippy approaches difficult problems with logic.

Translation:He finds someone else to do the job.

Sorry, not really a retranslation, but funny regardless.

His men would follow him anywhere, but only out of curiosity.

This officer is really not so much of a has-been, but more of
a definitely won't-be.

this NCO could not shoot the muzzle plug off his own gun tube

He demonstrates the unique ability to de-motive soldiers at a moments notice

he displays no morale courage and cries in formation

I know of no national emergency that would justify promoting this NCO above his current grade

NCOER
