Does it seem fair that they do not have to appear and it is only paper packets? 2014-09-30T19:39:38-04:00 LTC Private RallyPoint Member 260372

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>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.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Absolutely TPUs should have to attend a board.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />When all you have to do is put a packet together and submit it where is the pride, the sense of accomplishment?<br /><br />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.
