The Unethical Right to Decline a Promotion Board

Abstract

Given that in today's Army, with slipping retention rates and numerous conflicts across the globe, it's imperative that the most qualified senior noncommissioned officers (NCO) lead and train the Army's future leaders. Under these circumstances, is it ethical for Master Sergeants(MSG) to decline having their records reviewed for promotion to Sergeant Major (SGM)? Is it ethical for SGMs to decline having their records reviewed for appointment to Command Sergeant Major (CSM)? Using the Army values, I am going to show why I believe it is unethical to decline a promotion board to SGM or appointment to CSM.
