Since the NCOER is getting a face lift, should the senior NCO promotion selection process get one too?

I'm hesitant to answer this because I don't like pointing out issues without recommended or potential solutions. In this case, I'm not sure what right would like. I'm not saying at the moment we should change it, but I do think the Sr. NCO process needs a relook. I would like to see a more defined process with more parameters the NCO can control. In the current system, it's about the individual's superiors assessment and their written communication abilities to outline the NCO's successes or failures. It's concerning that the longevity of a NCO's career is so strongly tied to what somebody thinks. I'd rather see NCOs take control of the destiny. I ask my RP comrades to weigh in on this.

I'm curious to what you would change?
