Well ideally you want all 10’s. I interviewed with one officer who didn’t want to do all the extra explaining of the 10’s so literally to save himself time didn’t put all 10’s. You know yourself better than anyone. You know how sharp your appearance is blah blah blah. Not everyone is going to take the time and make you sound beyond stellar even though you crushed the interview. My appraisals came out better with me ghost writing it and letting them agree and make adjustments as opposed to them freehanding it themselves. I mean you have to “ghost write” the CO endorsement (unless yours wrote that for you to, and that would be amazing) so what is the difference with the appraisal? But different strokes for different folks. I see your point
I get your point, and people advised that to me as well. However, Senior Officers have their own "language" when it comes to evaluate/ appraisal, just like EVAL. My appraisals always come out simpler than how I thought it would be, but it always sounds so much better than I though as well.
No matter how good of a writer we are, I am sure an appraisal that were written by an O5/O6 will sound so much different than the one that written by an E5/E6.
I would say give them a week or two for them to write up the appraisal. Just my opinion though.
