I just recently checked my ERB this morning as per habit and in my ASCO section I saw S4- ASK STAB Preference. I'm unsure what this means.

This is what I found:

The purpose of a STAB is to make recommendations on individual cases regarding promotion or removal from a current recommended list. The STAB is not a selection or promotion board but an advisory body convened to make recommendations on individual cases regarding promotion or removal from a current recommended list. For additional information, see AR 600-8-19. A STAB will convene for all grades during each regularly scheduled DA Centralized Promotion Selection Board. All HQDA approved cases are processed and forwarded to Soldier Record Data Center (SRDC) NLT the convening date of the board.
