Have you ever successfully challenged a local policy or Army regulation?

I've challenged promotion points, MOS test questions, various Army/Public Affairs regulations, board study guides, you name it. My personal favorite was one of several about Guard Duty. Sergeant of the Guard I wondered about one of the guard posts...an empty parade field at Ft McClellan....As the base newspaper editor, and member of the historical committee, we traced a guard post there to when it was once a polo field, with a fence and bleachers. A guard was first posted to keep children out, later to keep people off the freshly painted fence and bleachers..and later when there was military equipment on the field beginning in the late 1930s...no one had ever challenged why we still had a guard there. Everyone thought it was "for training purposes"..

I have and won some and lost some. I challenged a military accesions board process and my recommendation was accepted and implemented in a DA level board to select USAR Soldiers onto active duty tours.

That's awesome MSG John Melville. I've noticed often times both in the military and in private employment that the people in charge of this or that think they know enough to make decisions without asking the people who actually do the work.
