Here are a couple of reasons why I believe I should be go to the promotion board. First, I’m ready to further my career as a Non Commissioned Officer. Being the best I can be is all I’ve ever wanted and I’m ready to take the next step in the Army with being promoted to Staff Sergeant. Secondly, I’m ready to take on more responsibility as that shows that I’m becoming a better leader because with more rank comes more responsibility.
I feel that I am more than qualified to attend the promotion board. I have more than enough experience as an NCO that this would be a prominent move in the right direction. In these current times I feel that by going to the promotion board upon passing it I will be able to impose my will as a Staff Sergeant and lead more soldiers to becoming great leaders themselves. I am deserving of this opportunity and have been waiting my chance for a great while now. This is the time and this is the season for a break through.
In closing, I’m not asking for too much but to be afforded the opportunity to at least have a chance to attend the promotion board. I will be well prepared and motivated to do my best at the board. This will be a great step towards my career progression. My family would be proud of me, and this would be one of my most recent accomplishments, among many. I want to do so much more for the Army, but I feel limited at the level I am at this moment. I would greatly appreciate this opportunity and once I’ve gone to the board, you will understand why I feel the way I feel about why I should go to the board.
Thank you.
