Army Development of Junior Leaders

[Ken White]

The problem I encounter is, that our 1SG stresses us to send more soldiers to the promotion board.

And this:

Another issue is, our policy makes it mandatory that every eligible E4 has to attend a soldier of the month board prior to attending the promotion board, but only one soldier per unit is allowed to attend the SOM board. This means that only that soldier can attend the next promotion board - so in our unit only one per month get promoted (if they are even recommended).

Those are both so wrong I'm speechless.
