I have noticed more and more that NCO'S are getting promoted to soon and have really no idea of how to take care of soldiers or how to soldier them selfs. Just wondering what people's thoughts were on this if you see this in your units?

Promoting Soldiers to NCOs too fast
I do not think that the minimum TIG and TIS requirements are long enough for promotion to the NCO Corps. There are too many SGT/SSGs that have been promoted mainly due to APFT scores, but their MOS competency is below average and have not had enough experience taking care of Soldier issues. I feel that a Soldier should have 4 years TIS to earn SGT and 6 years TIS for SSG, that would disseminate the NCOs who got promoted too quickly due to getting a high APFT score. "You can run but you can't lead"
