What are some of your favorite board questions to ask, or ones that you
or someone else has encountered while attending a board? If you have the answer and are willing to share it, that will help share the "wealth" too.
Some
of us were discussing the question posed to us, "Without looking, state
the ribbons you are wearing, in order, from top to bottom".
I
have always liked, what is "Uniformity of Material"= matching wet
weather tops and bottoms and not mixing them with wet weather top and
Gortex bottom or vice-versa etc.
How do you properly wear 10 AAM's/ ARCOM's etc?...- AR 600-8-22-
=5 Oak Leaf clusters are represented by one Silver cluster. You are only authorized to wear 4 clusters on one ribbon. Along with the Silver Cluster, 3 more Oak Leaf Clusters representing 6-7-8 will be affixed to the original ribbon. That makes 9 total counting the ribbon. You must add another ribbon (to the wearers left) to represent the 10th "cluster/AAM". Once you receive the 11th AAM, you drop the second/ additional ribbon, and replace IT, and all 3 of the Bronze clusters with one ribbon and two Silvers Clusters. This makes 5-10 and the ribbon is 11. So on and so on. A lot of people do not know this. It took me some time to learn it, and yet it is in the reg. An old crusty CSM that worked at AAFES had to show me.

One that I have always despised was," if you are marching an element towards a cliff and you only have one step to take, what "command" would you give to halt the element and keep them from walking over the edge...
hint, it is NOT "GAS".... Why is it not gas?.. well lets think about it. What must YOU do, to yourself, before you PROPERLY give the verbal alert/physical motion for "gas" IAW NBC procedures?

SSG,
I had this question proposed to me recently and haven't got a solid answer yet. Any help? (Gas was the one I came up with at the time but now that seems wrong too)

Any soldier dumb enough to march over a cliff because they are waiting on the proper command to stop probably needs to fall to their death. Stupid should be painful, and whenever possible, fatal.

For the SGT board I was asked by a SFC, "If you saw a building on fire, what would you do". My answer, "I would call 911".
