What can an NCO do to overcome a MARGINAL 1059 from Battle Staff?

Improper taping standards, yet 1st time GOs during the entire course.

I would start with ensuring that you are utilizing the skills that you learned in the course in your daily duties in a quantifiable manner that can be used as bullets on your next EVAL. I would also sit down with the 1SG and CSM and seek their counsel and guidance in this matter. They may be able to point in a direction that is specific to your unit/MOS.

I would first eliminate the blame game from your vocabulary. Your first reaction is to blame taping standards.

So you're never going to get past the marginal 1059 if you're telling everyone how the course "screwed you". Because that kind of thing sticks with you and gives you a stigma.
