Do you have a certain method of counseling NCOs who didn't make the promotion list? https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/do-you-have-a-certain-method-of-counseling-ncos-who-didn-t-make-the-promotion-list <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>With all of us having our time consumed congratulating our NCOs who made the SFC list, make sure that you remember to properly counsel your NCOs who did not make the list. Read the SFC Board AAR on the HRC page and balance that off your NCO's promotion board file. Counsel the NCO on items other than the obvious correspondence courses, college degree, and SSD. Go with the importance of the NCOER, taking on challenging duty positions, and earning additional qualifications/certifications.
