If there is one thing you could change about the army promotion system what would it be?

No AUTOMATIC promotions because you've reached a time in service milestone, especially specialist. EARN IT!

Absolutely Master Sergeant. The sense of entitlement is bad enough in our country.

Specific/detailed centralized promotion board feedback (SFC through SGM) for non-selects explaining WHY they were not selected, compared to their peers.
I know this would be near-impossible with the amount of scoring board members compared to records, unless there were a quantifiable alternative.

I've already seen a couple of posts where people are saying bring back the skills test. I don't agree nor disagree with that being added, but I would like to point out this:
I've met numerous peope in the military and in the civilian sector that knew how to do a job forwards and backwards. However, many of those same people struggled to lead and/or teach others in how to do the job. Knowing a job should be one component in the promotion system, but I don't think it is the end all of making a good leader. There needs to be other components added if the system was going to be overhauled.
