If a E4 went to WLC and received a marginal 1059 back in 08. Then went to ALC graduated with achieved coarse standards followed by SLC what are the chances of him or her being selected for the QMP board. Is a marginal 1059 going to be considered the same as failure to complete, since in today's NCOES if you fail your PT test or height and weight you get a failure to complete.

I would think it all depends on how tight the competition is to keep & promote people. The blemish is 7 years old and the soldier has progressed beyond it and been successful. It may be a deciding factor if everything else is equal.

Absolutely SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL! I hit my 20 and all in a sudden a few blemishes became potholes in front of the QRB board. Despite the fact that I was one of only 2 senior, school qualified signal officers in the state - the H/W flag took precedence, go figure.

Marginal1059s are a quick way to stereotype yourself and hold you back. Eventually getting QMP and forced out! Just my opinion what I experienced in 25 years in the Army.

SFC Davis thank you for your response. And to add to that my question was is a marginal going to be considered the same as failure to complete since they do not give marginals anymore for anyone that doesn't pass H@w or Pt test in NCOES schools cause before you could complete the school and still fail these two things. Now the give you a failure to complete
