No one may establish local consideration criteria that are notprovided for in this chapter. However, states may establish a minimum administrative point requirement, if prescribedin State policy and in the board MOI.b. Soldiers must meet the eligibility in this chapter and the board MOI including the date(s) used to computeeligibility (eligibility criteria date).c. The unit CDR will—(1) Verify the promotion eligibility roster.(2) Add eligible Soldiers.(3) Delete ineligible Soldiers, including those formally denied consideration per paragraph 7–33, by lining throughnames and entering a short explanatory note for the deletion. No one may establish local promotion points or criterianot provided for in this chapter.(4) Enter manually any missing or changed data on the NGB Form 4100–1–R–E and in the board MOI.(5) Determine and enter names or positions of board members on individual copies of NGB Form 4101–1–R–E.d. The Soldier’s leader (generally the first line leader) will review NGB Form 4100–1–R–E with the Soldier toverify information and update entries in handwriting on the form (or electronically, if provided by the State). They willobtain the Soldier’s written choice (X mark) to accept or decline consideration and, if accepting consideration, theSoldier’s written choice (X mark) of one or more of the options provided by the State per paragraph 7–29 and obtainthe Soldier’s signature and the date signed. When Soldiers are not available to do this in person, the CDR (or adelegate) may do this by telephone, fax, or mail (including e-mail), accomplish all of the required actions, and sign anddate the form for the Soldier. Soldiers who are not available to process their NGB Forms 4100–1–R–E because ofunauthorized absence, unsatisfactory participation, or AWOL will not be contacted. If they do not return to duty beforethe cutoff date for submission of documents announced by the State AG (MPMO) in the MOI for the promotion board,they will not be considered by that board and are not eligible for standby consideration. This includes unsatisfactoryparticipation (for drill status Soldiers) or AWOL (for Soldiers on orders for 30 or more days for ADSW, ADT,FTNGD for special work or training, annual training for 30 days or more, temporary tour of duty (TTAD, AGR, or anyother form of extended active service). The leader will—(1) Interview and counsel each Soldier using NGB Form 4100–1–R–E.(2) Have each Soldier verify the individual data in sections I through III.(a) Soldiers will be considered for promotion, enrolled in NCOES, and selected for assignment based on theirCPMOS. The CPMOS will be the primary MOS unless there is a compelling reason for it to be another MOS. Forexample, a merger MOS that changes at the next level; a command directed reassignment for an AGR Soldier; or aSoldier in an isolated MOS with little chance of progression. In cases other than the merger in the same CMF, theSoldier must request the new CPMOS on DA Form 4187 through command channels to the State MPMO per NGR600–200, chapter 5.(b) If provided for in the board MOI, Soldiers may provide documents to update the form and the personneldatabase by enclosing it with the NGB Form 4100–1–R–E. Incomplete and questionable documents are not acceptable.e. Individual leaders who rate Soldiers using NGB Form 4101–1–R–E and forward their evaluations under the leaderevaluation process will counsel each rated Soldier on their strengths and weaknesses and what they may do to improvetheir individual qualities and qualifications.f. The DD Form 214 is a valid promotion point source document.g. States may create an addendum for section IV of NGB Form 4100–1–R–E on which Soldiers will state theiragreement to enrollment and attend NCOES and any other required training course. This addendum will include theconsequent actions that will follow the Soldiers’ failure to meet any of these agreements. For example, a State may useone or more of the following or create additional statements to suit their needs:(1) I agree to attend and complete the USA First Sergeant Course within the required time allowed upon selectionfor 1SG.(2) I agree to apply for and accept a training date on ATRRS after promotion for my required NCOES course(within X days (or Y months)) or (by (date)) as stated in the announcement of the promotion list on which I am listed.(3) If I fail to enter an NCOES course for any reason that is determined to be within my control, after receivingorders, I will be subject to reduction per para 10–18.AR 600–8–19 • 20 March 2008117
