I want to clear up your concerns as best I can.
First, there is no automatic NTR UNLESS YOU QUIT or commit a serious integrity or honor code violation.
Second, if you recieve an NTR, then there were NUMEROUS MULTIPLE serious issues/concerns with the candidate that the board determined the NTR for that individual. Again, many NUMEROUS/MULTIPLE issues/concerns. NO ONE thing except as stated in sentence number one.
Third, the board (made up of the following: O5, O4, E9, E8, E7x3, and a CW3 who records) makes the decision based on a vote that considers the candidates' entire record and performance data from SFAS. If a guy receives an NTR, all of those board members and their combined 100+ years SF experience are more than qualified to determine that.
Fourth, what happened when you went through and what happens now can't be compared. Things change and if you research a little, you will see the entire SFQC is in a transformation right now. The SFQC has changed to keep up with the changing world dynamic and the war we are engaged in.
Fifth, if a guy doesn't quit, does his best, and is a true "TEAM PLAYER", then that's all he can do and that's his best chance to get selected.
Finally, SF doesn't cater to those who want the easy way around. If we did, the tab wouldn't say "Special Forces", it would say "Regular Forces". You earn what you put out. Nothing more, nothing less.
Good luck.
