I believe I am an outstanding NCO; I have never had and article 15, letter or reprimand or any other negative infraction. However, I have been charged with a crime but not convicted. This gives me a Type 1 disqualifier. It effectively prevents me from ever performing any special duty assignments, which effectively prevents me from being competitive for promotion with my peers. Though this ALARACT does not prevent me from being promoted, I will be limited. Even if I make CSM one day, I can never be a commandant or a sergeant major of a special duty assignment. The ALARACT says that by being a Type 1 or Type 2 I cannot be in a “position of trust.” Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t the very fact that I’m an NCO places me in a position to train and lead Soldiers. I believe that if a NCO/Soldier can no longer be placed in a “position of trust” then that NCO/Soldier should be discharged from this great Army. Now I know that would include me, however, how fair is it to be in the Army when you not allowed to become a drill sergeant, Recruiter, or AIT platoon sergeant (along with SHARP) and a host of other special duties.

Are there moral waivers for these special duties that can be backed by MFRs from superiors that you have/are working for? 1SG Private RallyPoint Member Mon, 17 Nov 2014 23:55:48 -0500 2014-11-17T23:55:48-05:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/alaract-147-2013-annex-d-should-nco-soldiers-be-permanently-prevented-from-being-assigned-to-special-duties?n=331863&urlhash=331863 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I am not familiar with Army regs but how does being accused of something disqualify you? This does not make sense to me because you say you were not found guilty of any wrong doing so just the accusation DQs you?
