But when compared to PZ selection (60-85%) and Above the Zone selection (5-30%) I’d say your chance are significantly reduced. It’s very hard to overcome and your timing has to involve some luck, meaning the needs of the Army has to change/increase. I recommend having an exit strategy. I’ve rarely seen someone who was SELCON to stay in long enough as a CPT to reach 20 years without significant prior enlisted service.

He was #1 on the promotion list.

You can pick up rank and volunteer for tours to get to retirement. LTC Private RallyPoint Member Wed, 13 Jan 2021 15:35:33 -0500 2021-01-13T15:35:33-05:00 2021-01-12T18:47:53-05:00
