"EVERYONE IS ABOVE AVERAGE." John Kerry and the Navy's little problem with officer evaluation report grade inflation. Quotable:
LCDR Elliot had rated 15 officers of the same grade and amazingly almost 50%, 7 out of 15 (including Kerry) were "One of the Top Few." The remaining 8 all were rated "Excellent" and not a single officer was rated in any of the lesser three categories. Not a single officer was "Fine" or even just "Satisfactory."
