Especially at SFC and higher the ranks might clog up more. 2LT Brian L.

Really all this means is the temporary promotions from the last year no longer have a deadline to make their PME. I think SMAs intent is to give these NCOs the visual confirmation (ie stripes) of their position, and not punish them for the continual backlog at PME courses. Ultimately, they still need it if they intend to continue their career. The timing is just less critical.

If you were an NCO and had attended the NCO Academy it was plus. NCOES was also a help. March 1967-December 1977.

Promoting a person without the proper knowledge and or experience. The entire military is already dropping standards. All standards. Education, physical, and on top of that my commander may be a female who thinks she is a cat or dog. 45 years ago when I was a recruiter if you smoked pot you would be sent to sent for a psychiatric appointment when you were at MEPS. Now you can be an obese man who thinks she is a pregnant women and still get in. The military as a whole is all screwed up. God help us in case of a real war.

It’s also a joke to see this core go backwards. It’s one of the reasons there’s more retirements than enlistments.

All it did was backlog the required schooling even worse. The Army is taking a step backwards…again.<br />PME should be a requirement before promotion. If you want to get promoted, go to school. If not, stay where you are and let your peers pass you. <br />A SSG with 2Y TIG who does not have ALC is simply spinning his/her wheels, and making the backlog for required PME even worse for those that want to attend.

I feel like it is a cost cutting measure and the entire NCO Corps will suffer for years to come, just my 2 cents MSG Private RallyPoint Member Sat, 19 Oct 2024 00:03:19 -0400 2024-10-19T00:03:19-04:00 2024-05-03T11:13:24-04:00
