My question regards to the retention of documents at the Company, Battalion and Brigade levels of Command. Specifically Promotion boards schedualling, and the minutes from a brigade level meeting.
As a sidebar, if a soldier is recommended/waivered for early promotion board appearance, at what level is the waiver authority? Also, is the promotion point worksheet, if the board appearance was cancelled, retained at any unlocal, or higher level of, command?
My intent is to attempt to find some record indicating that I had been schedualled for Promotion board, or better yet the actual promotion point worksheet (which I believe to have been destroyed by the COC).
Regarding the "minutes," I need to see if I can find a record that my CSM was not in a specific area, the BTNHQ, at a specific time. This would show that actions that were dictated in a sworn statements, by him and one other, never occured, and go to corroborate my indication that he was, infact, not in the area at the specific time and was in a meeting, lending credit to my argument. If we had to keep minutes and retain records for BOSS meetings, I refuse to believe Brigade/Battalion shouldn't either.
For reference these incidents happened just over 3 years ago.
