Can an Army unit require you to win a Soldier of the Month board before appearance to the promotion board?

As a former member of the 82nd Abn. Div, and also with the 1/75 Ranger Bn, promotions are based on several qualifications, time in service, your Military record, points, and your conduct to show leadership skills. Your attitude,apearence in uniform, and your skill qualifications, in your MOS. Pending on your promtion, E-5 or E-6, is based on your supperiors recomindations, and if above that, based on openings in your MOS, and Congressional hearings. Stay out of trouble, no article 15's, attend as many Military schools available, keep sharp, uniforms always clean, be aggresive and take control of leadership opportunities. Do well on skill tests, keep your record updated. The more letters,accomindations,awards, schools, your conduct, all have a impact on promotion. Being Soldier of the month is not a pre-requisite, but, in getting it, usually could be a advacement if your a E-4.Any positive good soldiering is good for promotion. Good luck-Airborne!!!
