Message: [QUOTE="ThunderHorse, post: 604070, member: 3450"] So in line units it tends to be a thing as [USER=12005]@Cookie_[/USER] basically mentioned. When I was at Bliss the Cav Squadron I was in was super short of NCOs. So we had a lot of guys who went to the promotion board and passed and were made corporals to fill team leader or squad leader slots. Now, like with everything in the Army when it comes to Corporals, some of them should have been privates. I had one NCO who would never send a SPC we had to the board because the one time he did send him, his shit wasn't together. The entire time I was in that platoon that SPC was the best Soldier I had. That NCO moved on, a different NCO came in and took his slot as Senior Scout. And boom, SPC Miller gets mentored and prepared for the board, passes the board, makes Corporal. He's a SSG now. [/QUOTE]
