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.

I don't understand what competing on an Audie Murphy board means. I love Audie Murphy and have all the respect in the world for him but don't understand what this means.

If he is against it, for reasons unknown , other than being made to feel the fool, I say: UNWARRANTED !!!

It's just another way to better yourself as a soldier. I'm proud of our history as a veteran and was honored to go before any board which helped me mature as a young sergeant in the infantry

How do you win? So in a couple movies and then drink yourself to death because of PTSD?

Being "forced" to appear?? Sounds strange. I say never discourage an NCO from going before ANY board!! In fact, never discourage an NCO from ANY challenge. After all, there is only so much you can prepare for in combat because there are no dress rehearsals!!!!

My platoon Sgt signed me up to do it. He wanted me to get use to being under pressure. My board was for soldier of the month.

How about some time to prepare? Hopefully no politics are involved. God bless him. Give it a go Sgt. and do your best. You may surprise yourself. Confidence is a key word.

As a Sgt, you should be ready at any given time to present before a board. This was instilled upon me before I ever went before the E-5 board.
