ERB Career Timelines; Where is the regulation?

SFC Steven Harvey — Sun, 29 Dec 2013 01:48:08 -0500

So the SFC Board is coming up and during a quick NCODP earlier in the week absolutely no one knew the answer to this.  The line break outs, when those SGM's review the ERB they are looking for correctness and making sure everything matches.  However how far should it go?  Breakdown scenarios I have seen are; NCOER Duty PositionsDeploymentsChange in Rank Others have their ERB matched verbatim to only their NCOERs (no deployments, no change in rank), while others still are missing things like BASIC, AIT, etc.  (I believe he used to be a Reservist) Is there an actual standard that should be at play?  If you just let it auto populate it will be terribly wrong, we have all had to correct the timeline breakdown in our careers.  What's the standard?

Hopefully some answers will be forthcoming, I've been struggling with this myself...

Whatever your duty position and skill level is on your NCOER should match that time period on your ERB all the way back to your earliest NCOER.

As far as deployments are concerned Im not sure what you are asking.

I don't have a reg as a reference or anything but I am SUPER anal about my ERB matching my records down to the correct amount of months duty positions you name it all the way back to basic. I have the separate duty positions for deployments like you mentioned. If you want I can send you my ERB as a guide. I was picked up for SFC on my first look at right years this way and hoping to repeat with this msg board (this is my first look)

SSG Harvey - some good advice throughout

Basically

1. All NCOERs should be populated in your Assignment Info

2. If same org, station, duty title - combine

3. If deployed, breakout and have (FWD Location) in the duty title

4. Additionally, prior to your NCOERs, populate all the way back

That should just about get you where you need to be.

SSG H, I have attached a copy of the assignment stuff from my ERB so you can see how anal I am. The only thing I want to change is having my 1SG time (FWD AF) to FWD (AF) like the other two. I hope this helps.

From my guy in HR who is a retired HR CSM, he states that you should have your ERB match your NCOERs. If you are forward, then the duty assignment on the ERB should match with the word "FWD"

I am not sure there is a standard, but when it looks right, it looks right and there won't be a lot of erroneous information on there. I think the biggest influence will be the NCOER and how the senior and rater feel about you as a leader. If those match, then you should be close.

It seems to me that Soldiers should be allowed to sit down with an admin NCO and review their ERBs to make sure they are complete and accurate. This would save a lot of trouble.
