CRUSH EVERY ARMY BOARD (PROMOTION, COMPETITION, SAMC)

You need to control the narrative and own the room. This hinges on your ability to master my two minute drill. Through solid rehearsals and mock boards you can build the confidence needed to weather the storm from any board.

Knew a guy who didn’t even know the nco creed, but when asked to recite it he recited the ranger creed in full confidence and loudly. He passed the board. Confidence and tone are definitely the most important.

I executed the Creed of the NCO flawlessly loudly and with meaning almost screaming in my CSM's face. after that it went down hill.. didn't know my chain of command answered maybe 2-3 questions right but nailed every situational question.. at the end i left the room and my sponsor came out and told me "You suck".. they called me back in about 5 minutes later and asked if I think i deserve to be an NCO. I said "absolutely" they said "we do too, now get out".. I couldn't believe it.

I was notified 2 days prior…so much for communicating consistently and never leaving soldiers uninformed

I had about 2 weeks notice for the E-5 board. So I started studying the regs and then I stumbled across your videos and used your advice and crushed it. This was a year ago, now I’m a SGT. But wanted to say thank you for all the tips and advice you give in your videos

I failed my first board last month. I’ve studied more and now I feel better prepared. Your point on confidence is very true. Once the board members sensed my nervousness, they started laughing and teasing me which made it worse. Confidence is key guys

[pfcsolo]

Went into the board last week after watching this video. My nco creed was flawless. Slow paced spoke with emphasis in key parts gave my bio and they said nope not asking you shit. Dismissed ! Salute air cav!

It definitely works !

Just got back from leave on Monday and was told to have my packet in for the E6 board on Thursday . Gotta love it.

[mikedoesntlift]

Get stoked! I was given a weeks notice to a board I participated in today. I’m a prior marine and this was my first army board. I entered, reported to the president, did my facing movements, did my bio, answered a current events question, and did the NCO creed. I was then dismissed. It all took 6 minutes. I passed without being asked a single knowledge question!!!

[reidloscidem]

remember my first board. It was a great experience. And the ONLY reason why it was is because my NCO Support Channel invested in me. To recite words on a page is good, but to interpret them is where all NCOs need to be.

I remember one question that was asked was related to the steps taken if one of my Soldiers died while deployed. And while I answered the question, I ended with, "This is why it is quintessential that I ensure all my Soldiers packets are squared away before deployment. Our job, First Sergeant, is to win the Nation's wars. This makes death our business. We have to ensure we are prepared for it."

I do miss it. Once my wife stabilizes with her cancer, I want to return. One day. Hooah!

This video helped me win 7 boards, my BN and BDE Soldier of the Quarter (twice), USSOUTHCOM Enlisted Performer of the Quarter and Year, and my BDE Best Warrior Competition. Thank you so much for your awesome videos!

[TedBronson]

Pay attention to the questions ! When you get a question like "Can you name 2 types of bleeding?" The question is actually "Can you do it - yes or no ?" Give a firm Yes/No answer - nothing more. They'll follow up with a question telling you to name 2 types of bleeding (or whatever subject your question is about). It shows them you listen closely and pay attention. But only do it once, otherwise you'll just be making things difficult for the board members. The Board will probably be careful about how they question you after your response, anyway.

I had my promotion board today, 2 weeks notice. I watched some of you’re videos and it really helped! I’m so glad I found you on YouTube. I’ve be in 2 and a half years and I can safely say I’m excited to be an NCO

[Thejuiceman]

I JUST PASSED MY E5 FIELD BOARD AFTER FINISHING LIVE FIRE!! THANK YOU FOR ALL THE TIPS!!

[OOGBossHogg]

1SG, I failed my first promotion board to SGT. I feel bittersweet about it because I know I came off “too hungry” or “desperate” lol. But I’m going to go again next month and I’ll keep watching and share with my other brothers and sisters. I’ll keep you and YT updated.

[cuff]

I got my P status with your guidance 1SG, now I'm going for the NCO of the Month board. Your tips were amazing then and just as invaluable on the rewatch. Thanks!

[country_slickers]
