Pretty scathing article on the current Air Force promotion process. I suspect the issues cited by the author aren't unique to the Air Force. Definitely a must read.

Interesting article. Worked for a couple of field grades who made their "bones" at the expense of their subordinates.
One of them "volunteered" our branch to take on jobs that another branch was failing on when our branch was already peaked out. He had just finished battalion command and was one of the "select" and wanted to impress his boss.
He told me to take over some of what he taken on. Fortunately, as a DAC, I was able to tell him it didn't fit my job description. The bad part was the other branch was not doing their part.

Interesting read. I’m more so worried about the Air Force’s broken enlisted promotion system.
