ACTIONS YOU MUST TAKE TO INCREASE
YOUR CHANCES FOR SELECTION
• Excel in duty performance -- demonstrated by strong NCO-ERs

Joint and Army Staff) and troop leading
• Attend and complete NCOES Courses with honors
• Pursue military education for self-development
• Pursue civilian education for self-improvement
• Be physically fit for age and duty assignment -- pass and exceed
APFT standards (earning physical fitness badge stands out to
board members)
