Field reports

Report 1 of 2

“BulletForge helped me write awards and NCOERs using key words and short sentences. This app uses regulation and verbiage other AI apps don’t use. I love that there is a virtual counseling packet and anytime I need to write, the Soldier’s information is already there.”

SFC H

Report 2 of 2

“With my unit deployed forward and myself holding down the rear, it was difficult to portray what was going on in two different locations. This app helped me properly annotate the events that occurred for my NCOs and establish their scope of performance. I also used it for myself, as I will be getting looked at for MSG this year. While my actions are what make the bullets, I was able to articulate my full scope and impact, giving true definition to what I had accomplished and ensuring my Rater and Senior Rater had me set up for my first, and hopefully only, look.”

SFC B

Built from doctrine. Checked against the paragraph.

BulletForge encodes the regulation (AR 623-3, DA PAM 623-3, FM 6-22) and the hard-won judgment of someone who's seen every shape of NCOER a rating chain can pass back. Every bullet cites the standard it supports. Tier markers calibrated against the actual paragraph, not a vibe.

What’s inside

  1. Tier calibration

    Every box check on every NCOER and OER, explained in plain English with the differentiators that actually matter. Stop guessing what “best of the upper third” means.

  2. Verbatim citations

    Every bullet links back to the paragraph that supports it. AR 623-3, DA PAM 623-3, FM 6-22. The board will recognize the regulation. Your rater will too.

  3. The Academy

    Twenty-seven lessons grounded in doctrine. Forbidden potential language. The single-example-once rule. SDA voice. Read once and write a sharper bullet for the rest of your career.

  4. Counseling tracker

    Document every counseling on DA Form 4856: properly formatted, archived per Soldier, organized by date. AI drafts the language; you tighten the truth. Free for junior NCOs running their squad.

  5. The journal

    Every bullet you generate, organized per Soldier, per section. The fix for “I had a great bullet six months ago and now I can't find it.” Save up to 50 free; unlimited on Pro.

  6. Award drafter New

    Write the AAM, ARCOM, or MSM from what the Soldier actually did: plain sentences in, the achievement bullets and citation out, formatted to paste straight into the IPPS-A award recommendation. It will not invent a number the facts do not support.

See it work.

Encl 1 Watch it refuse a Far Exceeded the facts do not support.
Encl 2 How it works: plain sentences in, cited bullets out. Sixty seconds.
Encl 3 Why you counsel every month, straight from ATP 6-22.1.

Memorandum for record

Subject: Why BulletForge exists

  1. I've been writing and reviewing these evals for a long time. I've rated dozens of NCOs, watched my peers write bullets that don't say what they mean, and seen good Soldiers lose promotion boards to reports that didn't fight for them.
  2. Every AI tool that's launched in the last two years pretends to solve this. They all output the same inflated GPT slop. The regulation matters. The doctrine matters. The way Senior Raters and HRC read these reports matters.
  3. I built BulletForge for the Soldiers behind me. This is what comes next.

The BulletForge founderYears on the rating chain. Now building.
