While not all encompassing it generally lists the topics that are important to the Army and the units leadership. Studying these areas and understanding all of the issues related to leading Soldiers at Squad level is key. It is also adviseable to speak with a recently boarded peer and ask what to expect. Ensure that peer is someone who you would gladly follow. Thank you for your service and remember to breath.Response by CSM Darieus ZaGara made Nov 2 at 2018 6:27 AM2018-11-02T06:27:42-04:002018-11-02T06:27:42-04:001SG Private RallyPoint Member4094070<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>There should be a memorandum announcing the board, which includes the subject areas.<br />Common Tasks<br />Physical Readiness<br />Weapons<br />CBRN<br />D&C<br />Counseling<br />Army Cmd Policy<br />EO<br />Current Events<br />Customs & Courtesies<br />Army Leadership<br />AER/Red CrosaResponse by 1SG Private RallyPoint Member made Nov 2 at 2018 8:23 AM2018-11-02T08:23:26-04:002018-11-02T08:23:26-04:00SFC Private RallyPoint Member4094097<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Practice with a mock board. Half of your board score is presence, bearing and appearance. Everyone focuses 90% their time on memorizing creeds, history, and regulations but fail to realize the board has decided your fate within the first few minutes of walking in based on your confidence, voice, appearance and bearing.Response by SFC Private RallyPoint Member made Nov 2 at 2018 8:33 AM2018-11-02T08:33:19-04:002018-11-02T08:33:19-04:00SSgt Jason Gerhard4095822<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Also read up on current eventsResponse by SSgt Jason Gerhard made Nov 2 at 2018 9:54 PM2018-11-02T21:54:07-04:002018-11-02T21:54:07-04:00SGT Private RallyPoint Member4101099<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Thanks all!

Be sure to stay current on recent events in your AOR and make sure you tell your sponsor everything they need to know to properly brief the board on why you deserve to get your rocker.Response by WO1 Private RallyPoint Member made Nov 14 at 2018 9:03 PM2018-11-14T21:03:01-05:002018-11-14T21:03:01-05:002018-11-02T04:18:15-04:00
