Question About Boards
I checked into my first duty station recently and was immediatley put on a meritorious corporal board. I did not win because they said I had lack of time in service... anyways got any tips for boards to help me out? They said I had great bearing... but I really want to wow the members of the next board... any suggestions??

http://leatherneck.com/forums/showth...Corporal+boardThat should help, quite a few good suggestions I would have to believe. Mods ask that you fill out your profile too.

Yeah, I always forget about the air wingers. Still, I have never agreed with giving rank up for a 6 year hitch. We had some guys in my platoon at Parris Island who got guaranteed Cpl for a 6 year enlistment. They caught hell as NCOs upon getting to their first duty station. None of them were up to speed in their job for the rank that they were wearing.

Sergeant, Some of the intel MOS schools are longer than a year and same with the air wing. We have to meet the same TIS and TIG as everyone else. I have a 5 yr contract and was guaranted Private out of boot, that is all.
Sorry if you knew this, I just wanted to make sure.

It is also impossible to pick up Cpl while in student status, as you are only able to be promoted to PFC and/or LCpl.

Best advise I can give you is when preparing for the Promotion Boards DON'T TRY AND BULL SHI-- them be yourself..The Board will excuse a Marine who might give them a wrong answer to a question,,, ,,but if you try to WOW or Bull ****- your way , they will see right thru you . Take it from an old Marine whose been there and done that.
Semper Fi and give it your best....
