<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes, all federally-recognized positions should be competitive according to the same military standard. Trouble is, some state AGs are elected or appointed...

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>They have their own boards then go for Federal recognition.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>i would have to say i am all for some type of board or oversight of promotions other than just a point list and a eval from your own people. i have seen quite a few soldiers that didnt know their job or basic military customs and knowledge that should have been instilled in initial entry training. i myself would be happy to go to a board and help those that want prepare as well.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>They just do alter the Promotion system in the Guard. The points are a bit harder to track now. But there is a Board. The Board is for your packet and not you. As it would be difficult to have a board for every promotable soldier in the state. Your packet decides your fate.<br /><br />What really needs to happen is that your company commander needs to vet who is considered to make the list. If they do their job they can stop a lot of soldiers who are not ready from getting promoted. But the issue is that they just give a nod a lot. I can say that I have seen some in my state that did the right thing but then I see some NCOs out there that I wonder how they are still there. If the system is messed up for soldiers not following the system a new system won't fix that. There has to be accountability and adherence to the current program.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Something needs to be done in the National Guard. Our MSG boards are crazy one year you could be 5th in the state the following year 35th then 4th the next year. The board votes on what they are going to give points for. It is like every year rolling the dice every year when we look at the list.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Sounfs like they have changed some things. I was a SSG from 77 to 86. No one would quit or die. I had done 9 years active in the Marine Corps and 3 in the reserves before transferring to the Guard.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The active duty promotion system is the worst out of all the branches

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I’m AF and I’m out now for a while.. I think the services like Army Reserve and Guard could use a weighted promotion system and a promotion review board. How they do that they’d have to work it out. Maybe AF Reserve and Air Guard could help develop a weighted promotion system <br />TIG/TIS/Awards/Performance report’s /<br />S K T (Specialty Knowledge test) -PFE; Promotion Fitness Exam ..
