Read the SFC Board AAR on the HRC page and balance that off your NCO's promotion board file. Counsel the NCO on items other than the obvious correspondence courses, college degree, and SSD. Go with the importance of the NCOER, taking on challenging duty positions, and earning additional qualifications/certifications. Do you have a certain method to counseling your NCOs in this situation?
