In this episode, we aren't going to just ask and answer a bunch of questions about DA PAM 600-25. No, we are going to focus on questions that are at a difficulty level that every SPC should be able to answer.
The episode is broken into 3 chapters:
The Pre-Test
The Lesson
Repetition
Feel free to jump into the Pre-Test, and if you know everything, skip to the next difficulty level. If you want to know more about a question, stick around for the Lesson, where we will teach you what everything means. Then we'll help you have it down consciously and sub-consciously in the Repetition chapter.
The questions we are going over are:
Explain the ends, ways, means concept of leader development.
Can courses less than eight weeks in length have an AFT requirement to complete the course?
What does NCOES stand for?
What are the four core roles of the NCO?
What are the three categories for NCOES deferment?
Are Soldiers allowed to request Early Release or Early Graduation from NCOES?

Welcome to the Board Questions podcast, where you can study for
your promotion or Soldier of theMonth board while driving,
commuting, or playing video games.
Today we will be focusing on questions about NCO development
that every E4 specialist and above should know shortly after
leaving basic training. Each of these episodes will
start with a pretest chapter andif you confidently answer every
(00:23):
question, move on to the next most difficult episode and test
yourself there. If you didn't, stick around and
start the lesson chapter where we will teach you each of the
answers in the lesson phase. If you want to solidify your
answers subconsciously, the repetition chapter will repeat
the questions and answers, and you can solidify what you've
just learned by repeating them out loud.
