I was selected for QMP, waiting on results but I have been reading about others that have codes on their ERB's, should I?

Your process may be moving at a different pace than others. It will be best to keep on checking your status as things continue to develop. However, if you need immediate clarity, contact your Career Counselor as they will have insight and information to what you are looking for. Best of luck.

It depends on when your board is, mine still has a 13 in Section 3 under Reenl Elig/Prohib. Just yesterday I was called into my BC's office. He handed me my paper work and said congratulations you won the board. So I guess now I wait for someone to remover the 13 off my ERB.

1st Air Cavalry BDE (1ACB) at Fort Hood Texas was a unit that received many QMP notification letters. This was from 2012. The BDE even had the highest attrition rate of CPT's from the RIF board in 2014.

I was in the unit from 2010 to 2015 (1st Air Cavalry Brigade -1ACB). The Air Cav BDE had many depressed Soldiers who were suicidal during that time period due to the toxic leadership from the brigade command team.

We had just returned back to Fort Hood (June 2012) and finished a year long deployment from Afghanistan and the BDE command team led by COL John Novalis changed over. COL Cory Mindenhall and CSM Chris Amagliani took over and morale in the BDE plummeted! Mindenhall and Amagliani were directed by FORSCOM to get rid of Soldiers for minor offenses such as missing a medical appointment. The Army was downsizing and commanders and CSM's were told to chapter people out for the smallest of reasons. The BDE command team gave no leniency: You missed several formations - gone! You failed one PT test - Gone! Several speeding tickets on post - Gone! An Officer misses two meetings - Letter of reprimand (career killer) - Gone!

Our BDE Chaplain, MAJ Shabazz, had MANY late nights with depressed Soldiers, NCO's, and Officers due to the horrible command team influence of COL Mindenhall and CSM Amagliani.
