From my understanding, you can't attend any training schools if you're flagged. Anyway, I have a soldier, NCO, who was scheduled through ATTRS to attend BNCOC, but he was flagged due to being on the over-weight program. Anyways, the CSM told him that he couldn't attend and that they would reschedule him after he came off. Well, about 4 months later, he came down for the class again? I was wondering, can this soldier go or will they have to drop him again? I don't want hime to get screwed due to lack of knowledge of our training office and the CSM.

This is a response to a very old post.

The regulation of suspension of favorable actions is clear when you are flagged. When the soldier gets to BNCOC he would get taped and have to take the APFT again. Now NCOES schools are not kicking back soldiers for not complying with these two important things. Before they will just send you home and command will get an ear full. But now and days, they just give a negative remark on the DA 1059 that can be changed when the soldier passes the APFT and/or weight.

But if he is flagged now; according to reg, he is not eligible for schools. Dont set the soldier up for failure.

"Marginal" is the term you're looking for. Not that it makes much of a difference as far as promotion is concerned.

Yet some units still send overweight Soldiers to NCOES--disqualifying your last statement here. Is it right? Absolutely not. But it's happening. It's just one of the smaller reasons why the NCO Corps is failing.
