Can anyone make soldier/NCO of the month boards mandatory?

Yes they can make you go but you will obviously not win if your company pulls names from a hat.  I feel sorry for you if your command gives no incentives to being soldier of the year (parking spot, 4 day pass, or a coin) and no soldiers or NCO's want to excel or be promoted (the soldier of the month board is good practice for promotion boards).\n\nno they can not NJP (Non Judicial Punishment) you for not winning but they can if you don't try or mess up on purpose.

that is hoping for to much, my man is deploying in march, and 3 other neighbors in may 2007 all in different units. this wont happen until a vote is cast on a specific date etc... however how about pray for the safety of our troops more? that is always appreciated, even by the people who dont believe in God. (sorry)

act like the CSM on "We were soldiers". Actually, the best thing you as an officer can do is let your NCO mold and train your young trainee... as an officer be a role model in what you know and do. Be the best commander you can...by letting your NCO work his/her soldiers as they know how to... beacuse when you leave he and everyone else will still be there,...then have to do the whole thing over again with someone new!

Well i have been looking into just this question myself.\n\nThe first thing to do is talk with the post and get notice in writing at least 1 week before the next regualr meeting sent out to all members.\n\nIf at that point you gain the support of the post the By-laws cover formation and how the Aux is run.\n\nIf you have more questions please contact the good people at the link below.\n\nI think that a Ladies and Men's Auxiliary is an awsome addition to any post. I would also like to suggest a Sons and Daughters of the VFW to you. It's great for the kids and wonderful for the post. \nThese programs really get the family involved.\n\nGood luck

you might want to make sure you have moderator access set up. there are some things you cannot change with that level of access.

Yes you can, providing you meet all of the requirements that any one enlisting in the service must meet.\n\nFlap Jackson is incorrect.

Maybe I'm biased but...\nLeadership is not needed. Effective leadership is needed. Soldiers need some wanker sitting in his/her office drinking coffee like they need a hole in their head. Unless that leader can provide true guidance and support, they are useless. \nOn the other hand the soldiers need to let that leader lead. I had a troop in Iraq who asked me why we didn't just "vote on all of the decisions" and why "did I get to make the decision instead of" her. I laughed in her face and told her we could try that the next mortar attack or she could follow orders and not go home in a bag.

If you can get access to the NKO (Navy Knowledge Online) There is a link to the actual Bupers guidelines. The Dive Motivator/Recruiter also has copies. You can contact a dive motivator by contacting the nearest naval base or the training site at Coronado Ca.

Scrappy has it pretty much right.  Ask a recruiter.  Be sure to ask your recruiter what his MOS is though, because my recruiter wasn't really in the infantry and didn't know much about it.  Luckily, another recruiter was and could answer all my questions.  Try to speak to someone in an S-2 office.

No, Just like on BDUs, Greens, and Blues you only ware one award from that category (CIB, EIB, EFMB, CFMB, CAB) at a time.\n\nYou can ware one EIB or CAB (Your Choice) pin on subdued on your ACU.

Talk to your S-1 (personnel section).  They should have plenty of copies of already submitted and approved awards.

Your reenlistment nco has the AR with all the requirements, GT, PUHLES, ect ect. Also the S-1 should have it...I cant think of the AR off the top of my head but Ill see if i can find it.
