The History of the Noncommissioned Officer Promotion System

Abstract

As a group of Noncommissioned Officers relaxed during a lull in training, the subject of the recent Department of the Army (DA) promotion board results surfaced as it does so often in many such settings throughout the Army. They had mixed feelings about the effectiveness of the system in promoting the best-qualified NCOs. They made suggestions, agreed upon the good ideas or rejected others. The NCOs departed, going back to training their soldiers, leaving the issue for another day.
