Test scores on the examination are also taken into account since they give the member’s relative standing as compared to that of the other can- didates. Therefore, be sure you STUDY for the examination. The single most important factor influencing selection is sustained superior performance of duty. Sustained superior performance is a “total person” concept. The board looks at how the member performs under various circumstances, duty assignments, job assignments within the command, and so on. It also considers personal decorations, letters of commendation and appreciation, and command and community involvement. Performing well in all assignments is important regardless of how difficult or boring an assignment may be.
