I spent 12 years in the Army so I am fully aware of how an eval works and what they mean...and you are wrong when you say they do not mean a whole lot. If an Officer gets less than a perfect eval...it may very well be a career ender...and I suggest that most...if not all Commanding Officers would give less than a perfect eval if they in fact believed that a subordinate Officer self inflicted a wound. I also suggest that most if not all Commanding Officers would ask for that Officer to be removed from their command and at the least would be derelict in their duty if they did not at least make some kind of report about said Officer.
