If the DA determines you need to be promoted to CPL hey will do up the paper work then it is sent to the unit you are assigned.

Getting SGT. You must get the rank of SPC or CPL first. Then you name gets selected to go to a promotion board. You are required to answer questions in front of the senior NCO’s in your Battalion. After you are done either a majority vote or all can say no, but the president of the promotion board can over rule all the 1st sergeants and say yes, and his word rules over all. Three months latter after your paper work is approved you get you promotion and some pain in the process.
Heh, this whole time i was thinking as long as you dodged bullets promotion was gaurenteed.

Stay safe out there.

Nah, nothing really guarantees you a promotion, although the more time you spend in the military, the more likely you are to get promoted.

Take care, man. You had some very just, analytical points on some of the topics here. Not to mention, you were unbiased and avoided arguments. We'd hate to lose you. You take care man, and be careful - we will be here when you get back, and you WILL be back not only to us, but to your 'Maro.

It's a great thing you and everyone like you are doing - wish I was that courageous. My deepest respect goes out to you and it's been an honor talking to you, even if it was briefly. Knock em' dead, Sarg.

Talk to every one later.

Well folks. It is time for me to say, farewell. I will give every one a shout out when I return be it a day or a month. I don’t believe in saying good byes, simply because you never know what will happen and the future is very UN cretin. One thing I will know is that when I do came back to this forum and say what’s up to every one, then it was just not my time for god’s plan. So with that, take care and I look forward to talking to every one when I get back.

Peace out.

On behalf of me and every one here in Iraq. Thank you for your undying support. There is an old cliché saying: In order for evil to triumph good men do nothing”. But I think this is quite the antithesis of that in where good men made evil its BITCH.

On behalf of all of us at GM -- and all of us on this board --

....we pray for your safe return.

Thank you for serving your country -- so that we can have freedom that most in this world cannot even dream of.

I ask your Guardian Angels to watch over you.

Only thing better than an AH-64A Apache is an AH-64D Apache Longbow

As a proud employee of The Boeing Company, I'm glad you like our helicopters

I know I'm late, but my good wishes go with you, Sgt. Jordan.
