board procedures
1. Preparing for the board.
Studying for the board will help you pass the knowledge portion of the board, but you also need to prepare for board procedures. You can do this by appearing to mock boards within your platoon or company, and asking questions of soldiers that have already attended a board. You can also see your supervisor. He or she has more than likely already attended several boards and has lots of valuable information that you can use.
a. Review and study the enclosed question and answers and reference publication provided throughout this study guide.
b. Be familiar with the mission of the JROTC program.
c. When being considered for promotion, know the duties required of your next grade in which you are being considered for promotion.
d. Be prepared to express opinions on items currently in the news.
e. Select your best uniform with emphasis on minor things such as frayed insignia, unbuttoned pockets, holes, etc. Make sure it is clean, fits correctly, and is well pressed. Also, ensure that:
1. Patches are sewn on properly.
2. All authorized awards and decorations are clean, fit correctly, and are correctly positioned on the uniform.
3. Brass is highly shined, and correctly positioned.
4. Name tag is in accordance with the regulation and properly positioned on the uniform.
5. Unit crests are clean and properly positioned on the uniform.
6. Footwear is in good repair and highly shined to include the edge of shoes. Also ensure shoes are properly laced, not cracked, and heels are not worn down.
7. Know why you were awarded each particular decoration. If the JROTC program in your school has citations, know what the citation is and why the unit was awarded it. Know the JROTC history.
f. Ensure that you get a clean haircut and are shaven properly. If you have a mustache, ensure it is IAW AR 670-1. Females ensure their hair is put up or cut IAW AR 670-1.
g. Get a good night’s rest the night before the board. You will perform better if you are fresh and alert. Do not drink excessive liquids that contain a lot of caffeine the night before or prior to the board.
h. Have your supervisor check your uniform appearance prior to the board. Have several different people check it out for accuracy and proper fit. They may notice something your supervisor missed.
j. Get the JROTC Promotion Board Form signed by all your Chain of Command one week prior to the board.
2. Reporting to the board.
a. Knock LOUDLY on the door of the board room and enter when told to do so.
b. Approach the president of the board using proper facing movements and position yourself in front of the president of the board.
c. Halt at attention, render a crisp hand salute, and report to the president of the board (i.e. " “Sir or Ma’am, Cadet Johns Doe reports.) Hold your salute until the president of the board returns it.
d. After reporting to the board, you may be asked to perform some facing movements in order for the board members to conduct the uniform inspection. Execute them properly and crisply. Practice them with your supervisor and in front of a mirror to ensure you are executing them correctly.
e. Once you are told to be seated, look over your shoulder, step to the rear with your left foot, (or about face as directed, or you may be told to do so without executing any facing movements), and be seated. While seated, sit straight with both feet flat on the floor and approximately one foot apart. Place your hands, fingers outstretched, but comfortable, on your knees or thighs.
3. Answering board member's questions.
a. Do your best not to show nervousness and listen very carefully to questions being directed at you.
b. Begin all statements to the board members by title with "Sir,” Ma’am,” Sergeant Major," "First Sergeant," or with whatever salutation is appropriate.
c. Speak loudly enough so that all board members will hear you and distinctly enough so that you will not be misunderstood. If you feel your voice start to waiver because of nervousness, raising your voice will help to steady it. Do not raise your voice to the point you are yelling at the board members.
d. Direct your answer to the person asking the question, maintaining eye-to-eye contact at all times.
e. Do not give answers you do not know or try to fake an answer. If you do not know an answer, simply say “Sir,” Ma’am,” Sergeant Major,”, “Sergeant,” I do not know the answer." Do not lose your bearing or become frustrated because you miss a question.
f. If you do not understand the question, ask the board member to please repeat or rephrase it.
g. Do not mumble or begin your reply with "uh", "oh", "I think" or "I believe". This indicates indecisiveness. Never say "I'm sorry", if you do not know the answer.
h. It is helpful and impressive to repeat the question as part of your answer. For example, "Sergeant major, the five colors of the map are..."
i. When asked your opinion, be sure it is your opinion. Board members do not penalize you for an opinion they do not agree with. They only want to evaluate your knowledge, speaking ability, and ability to intelligently present an opinion.
4. Departing the board.
a. Come to attention in front of the board president.
b. Render a hand salute to the president of the board sound off with “Catamount,” “Sir,” Ma’am,” “Sergeant Major,” and hold your salute until it has been returned.
c. Leave the room using proper facing movements and close the door unless directed otherwise.
