Hmm,
As I look around my group I can see guys that should not be representative of Special Forces. So, I dont think "up or out" is the way I'd look at it.....at some level, someone needs to be looking out for the force.
I do belive that SOME individuals could perform at thier current level within group, (myself included) without further promotion and continue to be an asset to the force. However, at some level there MUST be a monitor that looks objectivly at perfomance to determine if individuals continue to contribute to the operational groups, or if they are better served in another capacity, or even retired.
...I stilll belive that Group, Battalion, anc Company Commanders should be empowered with the ability to determine who shows leadership potential (unlike all Infantry CSMs, which sat on the last MSG board). and select those individuals for promotion to the next level......Who is better to evaluate and reward performance?
we do it for Warrant Officers, why not for Team Sergeants & Sergeants Major?
