In my mind having the rank specialist means that you possess the necessary skills in your mos to be at least proficient if not an expert. I was wondering if everyone else felt that if someone does not possess these skills they should be turned down for the rank?

What if a soldier is tasked with additional duties outside of their MOS. This duty is usually handled by another MOS, but the additional duty directly supports the primary MOS and the soldier is more proficient with the additional duty than they are with their primary MOS.
Would that soldier deserve to be promoted?

In all about soldiers getting promoted. If you preform above your level and have a good record then yes you should get your SPC.

I am not sure the way the Army does promotions but that makes sense to me SPC.

The command of a unit can turn down a promotion to SPC. I have seen it done once in my 14 years. This one occasion this PFC was late to a number of formations, would fallout of almost every platoon run, and had a piss poor attitude. So I don't think SPC promotion should be based on points but by merit. If you keep a paper trail on all your soldiers by doing monthly counseling's you can influence a lot.

My Commander also turned down a promotion to SPC. This soldier had a bit of an attitude and skipped drill a lot and left on occasion before being properly released.
