\section{Gathering materials for research}
Drafting new ESF's at CGCYBER NOSC EOC can be extremely difficult due to the massive amount of content expected for each form. It is unlikely you will serve at another U.S. Coast Guard unit so strict with evaluation requirements. However, this is also one of the only units where you can draft your own seven if you have the material to back it up.
\section{Directives}
The majority of material you will likely ever need may be searched for and obtained with CGPORTAL located on the U.S. Coast Guard Directives page here:  \href{https://cg.portal.uscg.mil/library/directives/SitePages/directives.aspx}{Directives}. Access to directives without using PKI you may use the DCMS page here:  \href{https://www.dcms.uscg.mil/Our-Organization/Assistant-Commandant-for-C4IT-CG-6/The-Office-of-Information-Management-CG-61/About-CG-Directives-System/Commandant-Instruction-Manuals/}{Commandant Instruction Manuals}. Additionally, for an understanding of U.S. Coast Guard Directives as a whole review the following instruction \href{https://media.defense.gov/2017/Mar/16/2001717497/-1/-1/0/CGD-170316-454-075.PDF}{THE COAST GUARD DIRECTIVES SYSTEM/COMDTINST M5215.6H}
\section{CG-EPQ-EPME}
You may want to consider using references from the latest Enlisted Professional Military Education (EPME) Enlisted Performance Qualification \href{https://cg.portal.uscg.mil/communities/erats/EPME/EPME 20/Forms/AllItems.aspx}{(EPQ)}. For example let say you want to train the group about EPQ: 5.2.1: APPLY The Risk Management Model. This competency requirment falls under 5.2 Leading Others. On the right hand side of the EPME page you can see a column labled as, "References." Within this column you see hyperlinks to the references which are also listed at the bottom of this document. Left clicking on this hyperlink should launch a new browser page opening the referenced document. In this particular case the document, "RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS AND OPERATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS." Let's pinpoint a sometime difficult to fulfill bullet using this reference which covers \href{https://cg.portal.uscg.mil/sites/externaldata/Directives/CI_3500_3A.pdf}{Risk Management}.
\subsection{Leadership Factor: Influencing Others}
\begin{description}
\item [A] (2) Created General Assessment of Risk (GAR) 2.0 model with group five accessing the dangers of driving into Washington, D.C. during a snowstorm using the USCG Ashore Risk Assessment.
\item [R] Group five determined using the GAR 2.0 model it was safe to, "Accept the Mission." provided we could continue to, "Monitor Risk Factors and employ Controls when available. Re-evaluate if conditions or mission change."
\item [I] Group five arrived to work in a safe and planned manner allowing the CGCYBER NOSC EOC to continue services for an additional eight hours without incident. 
\end{description}
\section{Freelance using Instructions}
Let's use another example. Many of the worst bullets I have received use emotional statements claiming that a member wearing a pressed uniform or shined boots resulted in junior members being inspired. I have served for over sixteen years and, either I am horrible at shining boots, or people do not generally get inspired by shiny boots. Instead of assuming how people feel about our uniform items lets attack this problematic factor using logic. If you look at your ESF under \textbf{MILITARY FACTORS} at \textbf{Military Bearing} the \textbf{Mark of 6} requirements are as follows:
\begin{enumerate}
\item Consistently exceeded standards for uniform and grooming.
\item Inspired similar standards in others.
\item Performance of subordinates, if assigned, was exceptional.  
\end{enumerate}
Most likely our best reference for tackling this bullet set will be the latest \href{https://media.defense.gov/2018/Dec/13/2002072299/-1/-1/0/CIM_1020_6J.PDF}{\textbf{UNIFORM REGULATIONS}} or COMDTINST M1020.6J. Now you have an entire volume of information to use for cross training with members of your team. I would challenge you to pick a standard and compare yourself and other members to that standard. Additionally, you could perform training on these standards. For example lets say its \href{https://us.movember.com/}{Movember} and you could perform a training based off of COMDTINST M1020.6J, 2.B. Grooming Standards for Moustache policy:
\begin{itemize}
\item If worn, a moustache must be neatly groomed.
\item For the purpose of uniformity, Ceremonial Honor Guard members, Coast Guard Academy Cadets, Officer Candidates, and Coast Guard Training Center Cape May recruits will be clean-shaven.
\item Will not extend below the top of the upper lip or beyond the corners of the mouth.
\end{itemize}
I realize that nobody likes getting called out for being out of regulations so try and evaluate each other in a professional manner. We all make mistakes. Healthy competition is good for the team so try that approach. We will theoretically say 
\subsection{Military Factor: Military Bearing}
\begin{description}
\item [A] (2) Provided training to group five covering the current grooming standards outlined in COMDTINST M1020.6J, 2.B.
\item [R] Group five identified and resolved two discrepancies.
\item [I] Two group members were \href{https://www.thesaurus.com/browse/inspired}{motivated} to meet the current grooming standards.
\end{description}
The above example tells me you did inspire someone without question. Not only did you train each other you used policy to keep each other in check directly. Notice the word motivated is a synonym of \href{https://www.thesaurus.com/browse/inspired}{inspired}. You should be capable of taking this training and drafting additional bullets in other categories such as \textbf{Team Building}, \textbf{Accountability and Responsibility} and likely other areas.
\section{ENLISTED PERFORMANCE EVALUATION SUPPORT FORM breakdown}
OK, let break this down. You have four factor types:
\begin{itemize}
\item Military Factors
\item Performace Factors
\item Professional Qualities
\item Leadership Factors
\end{itemize}
For each of these factors you have \href{https://cg.portal.uscg.mil/sites/externaldata/Directives/CIM_1000_2B.pdf}{\textbf{Competencies}} which is what is used to evaluate your performance. For example \textbf{Military Factors} is the factor, and within this factor is the Competency \textbf{Military Bearing}:
\begin{itemize}
\item Military Factors
\begin{itemize}
\item Military Bearing
\end{itemize}
\end{itemize}
We always push for the \textbf{Performance Standard} for \textbf{Mark of 6}. For the most part working at CGCYBER \textbf{Performance Factors} is by far the easiest Factor for us as it revolves around actions we perform everyday:
\begin{itemize}
\item Performance Factors
\begin{itemize}
\item Quality of work
\item Technical Proficiency
\item Initiative
\end{itemize}
\end{itemize}
The performance factor \textbf{Professional Qualities} is likely the second easiest to complete, followed by \textbf{Military Factors}. \textbf{Leadership Factors} is by far the most difficult to create bullets for. If you are willing to research the competencies which are more difficult to complete its likely you can find an approach to improve in these areas. The below subsection show some examples of references you might use to do some research. In no way is this an exhaustive list but it should get you started with using your resources.
