I have an NCO who is being forced to compete in an Audie Murphy board 8 days after notification. Is there any justification to get him out of it? The 1SG is relentless, and the CSM is unresponsive pertaining to the situation.
This is a good NCO, who doesn't want to make a fool of himself at a prestigious Corps level board.

Going before these boards should be an honor. I looked forward to them. I was never forced to attend, I volunteered!

If the soilder was recomended then he should go with it leadership is stepping up when asked to or just needs done the short notice does suck but if hes a squared away soilder and good leader he will do fine. Might not win but shouldnt fail either

Yes. But he can't be forced to win it. That's on him. Somebody needs to explain the meaning of the SAMC motto, "you lead from the front" to this NCO.

It's unfair to the soldier and sets him up to leave a bad impression on senior leadership. These boards are suppose to be voluntary not voluntold.

It is still the soldiers choice if he wants to go or not. Kinda sad that the upper nco chain are jackasses and pressing im to participate against his wishes.

If the NCO does not want to compete why make him . It's his Career . Or was it lack of planning at the Upper levels and it's about a number going .

If you haven't been to the Audie Murphy board you have no idea how hard it is... is one of the hardest words I ever went to... in today's Army you either move up or move out!!! But I do not believe you should be forced to go to any board...
