Should TPUs going for E-5 and E-6 have appearance boards like their AGR and AC brothers and sisters? Does it seem fair that they do not have to appear and it is only paper packets?

Absolutely TPUs should have to attend a board.

Lots of Soldier's look good on paper but would flop in a board. Attending/getting recommended shows that the SM wants to get promoted because they practiced and studied for their chance to shine.

When all you have to do is put a packet together and submit it where is the pride, the sense of accomplishment?

Main reason I have for TPUs attending boards would be to ensure the right Soldier's get promoted. When you make attending a board a requirment you will weed out the Soldier's who lack the motivation or the drive and hopefully the non qualified.

Sir, all personnel should be attending some type of board in order to be selected for promotion. If this is not done, then there is clearly favoritism involved.
