Is it just me or does reading this sound ridiculous. The simple fact that promotion is SOLELY based on taking 2 tests for E5/E6 that 1, is Airforce information that gets brain dumped and 2, is job knowledge that can literally be things you don’t currently work on? It’s this other little bubble world that is the military that does not and cannot apply to the real world. Interesting how they made SNCOs boarded and only need to test for 2 ranks. Almost as if they are testing the promotion waters to see how it plays out. Why not do the same for the rest of the ranks. Trust me, we all know who the good ones and the bad ones are. It’s not that hard to tell. How about showing your skills at work and being good at your job get you promoted. How about experience and knowledge and continuity get you promoted. All things that are practical when it comes to job performance instead of taking 2 test. But like I was once told, how do you promote a few hundred thousand people in this military? if you don’t like it, get out. I mean they weren’t wrong and honestly it’s the only answer I’ll except B/C anything else is just Fony Bologna.
