If you could get rid of one regulation, standard, policy, or procedure, what would it be?

Best idea ever!!!! Bring back the SQTs.

Being a bad tester is just a way of saying that you fail to be able to demonstrate the appropriate knowledge when put into a particular situation in which case you shouldn't be promoted anyways. If you are unable to, under a minimally stressful situation, demonstrate the appropriate knowledge for promotion, then who is to say that you won't fail to perform under the potential stress associated with performing your duties in a wartime situation. Argument lost. Thanks for playing. Bad tester=Not fit to lead in military.

Exactly!!! If you know something about your job you should be able to get promoted. In my prior service days I had to take two individual tests to make E3, one test for E4, three tests for E5, and one for E6. I'm not the best tester nor did I know everything about my job, but I obviously knew enough to get promoted and competent enough to train my troops OUR career field.

Surely you jest?

MSG (Join to see) - I hope what he means is guys that have no problem passing the PT test but have 20 lbs of muscle that put them in the over weight category, which I would agree is absurd.

I had to be taped every time. My nephew who is an airborne instructor also has to be taped every time.

i agree to some extent. at 5'7" I was in excellent physical shape. <2% body fat but at 147 on weight waiver.
