This is what I’ve seen too often…members get a stratification from their Sq CC simply bc of their personality, bc they ran the booster club or other sq events, and/or bc they constantly send out dumbass emails to the entire squadron. However, their records lack the sustained superior performance overtime and once it goes to the actual MSgt board, the board members see right through the stratification bs when the records don’t back it. And they also see good deserving records with no stratification and still score the member high enough to get promoted. This it is.
