SGT Board

So Toby went back to work and was pretty much forced to go to the Sgt testing boards. He didn't feel like he was ready but it was a good time for them to send him so he studied and studied. He knew most of the stuff, but there was not really anyone around to mentor him and let him know what it would be like. You are supposed to know a ton of stuff about the Army and your Unit and the Creed and things. He went to the pre-board and they pretty much told him he sucked and would not get promoted because he was such an idiot..( and no I am not exaggerating)

He was really upset and after 2 years in this stupid Unit I could almost see what Anger physically looked like. We thought once again they had set him up to fail.

He left and I kissed him good-bye. I went to help a friend that day and literally was so stressed out wondering if he would make it. He wanted this sooo bad and really it meant he was being recognized as being a really good soldier. He had only been in the Army 2 years and was going to the Sgt boards!

He calls and says he did it! I was so excited. So he earned promotable status and was waiting to see what points he earned at the boards. Not only did he pass, but he was the only one to get a perfect score that day!!!!!!!!!! So in your face all yous stupid idiots that are jealous of him because you have been in 10 years and are going nowhere. He is awesome and will be your Commander someday.

I am so proud of you Toby and just know that points will come out soon to push you up to the SGT status. You are the best babe!
(side note: after you get your points added at the boards you have to wait for a list to come out from the Army when they have openings for that position and then it will be automatic at that time. )
