Often times, we have an inflated sense of who we really are and it helps to self-assess ourselves once in a while.
Honestly, if you were the supervisor of you (or someone exactly like you), would YOU recommend YOU for a promotion? Why or why not?
If you'd rather not respond, that's OK too...try to use this as a self-assessment and think of how you can do better?

MSG Quick, great question, another way I like to look at performance is to look at it through the eyes of the owner of a small business; would you pay out of your own pocket for x or for x person's performance? Again, excellent question, very thought provoking!

I would recommend me for promotion to any military branch as a civilian. I am too salty I guess to be politically correct anymore.

Begrudgingly- I would. But that’s because as a hound SGT I was a part of an NCO meeting that discussed who should and shouldn’t be recommended for the SGT board.
It turned into an NCODP where the platoon sergeant said something that really resonated with me.
“For all of you in here with stripes on your chest, there was somebody who said ‘no’.”
At the time, I had just battled through the NCO political landscape to get to the board. And there were definitely some “no” recommendations. But someone took a chance on me and supported my potential.
With that said, you’ve got to be unable and unwilling to get, “That’s a no for me, dog.” (Randy Jackson voice)

At my current rank, absolutely. When I was an E-5 and E-6, different story. It's not that I wasn't ready to be promoted but I wasn't confident I could do the next level. I was really lucky to have very knowledgeable and good leaders and at the time I thought there was no way I could be as good of a SSG and SFC that they were. It took them telling me that I was more than ready for the rank and I was going to be put in the position whether I liked it or not. "You're gonna do it so you might as well drop a packet and get paid for it" is what I was told by my commander.
