True, everyone gets nervous but it gives the impression that he has not prepared enough and lacks confidence. I was the same but my Navy NCO's forced me to do a mock board every day. Come board time, I killed it.
This was the first time I’ve seen it, in my opinion it just shows that he knows EVERY NCO is supposed to stand at attention when the NCO creed is recited outside of a board. It’s the right thing to do and it shows he made this board, his board. Not anyone else’s. Good luck on your first promo board!
Nah I tried this at my promotion board and my sponsor/team leader made me look stupid, and then told me afterward that I wasn’t supposed to lmfaooo still passed barely
@@sugarbear9370 You are required to stand at attention for saying any creed. Whether it be the creed of the Non-Commissioned Officers, the Soldiers Creed, or your Corp creed (I.E. Ordnance). Same goes for singing the Army song and any unit or division songs. Edit: spelling errors.
Someone told me to try not to say um or uh. I appreciate you for putting this on youtube for others to see though. Thankyou for your service. I go to my first promotion board this month.
It’s recommended not to. Just try and speak slow and concise think about everything you are trying to say before you speak it. Nobody is perfect I’m working on it. Getting ready for the promotion board this Friday. Hope you do well my friend.
I'd say he need to be more conscious and not use um so much and don't sound like your reading from a script. Make it seem like your having a conversation, but understand that your conversation is with top ranking NCO's, so maintain that respect. He also used the "I don't know that answer" a little to much, maybe not enough to not pass this mock board, but the board members might think he wasn't that prepared. Other than that, he did pretty good. That was my critique on my promotion board, I used um to much. Even though I passed it was good info going forward.
Very different from Navy boards. The Navy has the Sailor's Creed, we recite that stuff loud and proud. We sandwich everything with the person's rank, " Chief,.........,Chief". And the nominee is suppose to scan and make eye contact to the whole board while answering questions. His "Umms" and constant looking down is a hit, shows lack of confidence. But I don't know how the Army grades their boardsmanship.
Why do they have you do facing movements? That's like asking an English major to recite the ABCs. It's overkill. Does anyone actually make it to the E-5 board without knowing it after several years of doing it?
For the real board where he wears his Service Uniform, they make you do it to look at your uniform, to see if awards are too far away, or if DUI is placed wrong. Generally, to inspect your uniform other than seeing if you can perform super basic movements.
wait wait wait did big red one just aaslt 101st someone explain to me, were they memeing?! haven't done a mock board, haven't done a board, going to promotion board when return from BLC. Confident I'll pass but just watching this video was painful and felt like it took forever.
@@dallen910 1. My board was scratched, I'll be promoted on MLI .-. 2. The current system has HRC say people are going and they base it on: Promotable Status, Star MOS, Points (compared to peers) I have a lot of points compared to peers, so much so I'll probably hit SGT before them when they have had their promotable status for over a year.
Everyone says for him to stop saying “umm” and I agree, but gotta realize how nerve recking this is for some soldiers

its okay to be nervous, but he immediately fucked up lmao.
Being nervous doesn’t mean your not prepared
Asking them to stand for the NCO creed is slick though
would have been even better if asked the NCOs to join in
Are we supposed to say that? I go to my first promotion board in a few days and nobody told me this?

how did it go?
Hey bro how'd it go😂
Very knowledgeable, I think he did a good job and probably aced the real board
This was very helpful. Thanks for the post!
you went to board already? how you do?

This is a mock board not an actual board. The actual board is similar to what you just describes
🎆privet
He got a few wrong but overall he did great, definitely got his P status

Saying the creed way too fast

Kavin Lawrence LOL, you finally found it.
@@duffmanbday 😆

wait wait wait
did big red one
just
aaslt
101st
someone explain to me, were they memeing?!
haven't done a mock board, haven't done a board, going to promotion board when return from BLC. Confident I'll pass but just watching this video was painful and felt like it took forever.
Congrats on your selection to BLC. How did u get BLC and were not promotable

Basically a video of what not to do he says uh way too much
everyone has a filler word dude. only thing to do is try and litigate it as much as possible
Sounds way to nervous
@@vegasskidd7081 no such thing
he still did a good job
He couldn’t answer some of the most simple questions even a civilian can answer. I would not pass this E-5 on this board
