Your DA photo is a permanent record that will probably be looked at by a promotion board.<br /><br />That same promotion board will have access to your records and will undoubtedly ‘notice’ your having been selected to be an aide.<br /><br />Congratulations, in my day, aides were of the chosen few! <a class="dark-link bold-link" role="profile-hover" data-qtip-container="body" data-id="1527586" data-source-page-controller="question_response_contents" href="/profiles/1527586-42b-human-resources-officer-3rd-space-co-1st-space">CPT Private RallyPoint Member</a>Response by CSM Charles Hayden made Aug 18 at 2019 1:17 AM2019-08-18T01:17:49-04:002019-08-18T01:17:49-04:00CPT Peter Mock4927652<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>NoResponse by CPT Peter Mock made Aug 18 at 2019 4:44 AM2019-08-18T04:44:44-04:002019-08-18T04:44:44-04:00MAJ Albert McCaig4934168<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I don’t know about now but I did not way back in the green Army.
