No one should disagree with this. But not the case here. This slimeball was convicted 10 years ago. It has been a part of his record for 10 years. The board should know about that or his name removed from the list.

Yes, but last I checked the DH board only went to the CNO approval level not Congress, so it’s with in the services capability to deferred selection until future boards. Non-punitive and does not take away from an officer’s career while letting the best and fully qualified compete. Not that it matters for some communities given current manning anyways.
Detailer: “Is this guy gonna answer my email or what?! Trying to finalize the slate, and I gotta know if he’s turning it down or not.”
Nearby buddy: “Dude, isn’t that guy in jail? Probably why he hasn’t responded.”
Placement Officer: “Doesn’t matter. He took the bonus.”

Isn't there some kind of TGPS class for when you get out of prison? And are there open quotas in April or May classes and is there TAD money for I stops this quarter?
Better yet, is there an online version on NKO? Scratch that- this guy is definitely not allowed internet access.
He was sentenced earlier this year to 10 years in prison, not 10 years ago.
The policy is written to cover all cases, not just this one.
That's not how the system is designed to work. A deferred selection can have major career implications. The current system works just fine.
Agreed.
Brett you are entirely correct that the board is doing exactly what it should. But this isn't the 1980's, information technology has changed dramatically, and this is simply an indicator of how far behind the military is in a multitude of areas. If the military was running the banks, we would still be flying checks around the country every night.
Rather than post a 10 paragraph rant of examples, I'll just push the keyboard back.
It's 2019, and time for us to catch up and stop looking so incompetent when it can easily be avoided. Perceptions matter.
I going to hang on to this one.
Did you type that with a straight face?
What aspect needs to be fixed?
Said another way, what problem are we trying to correct? The fact that an outlier case triggers some clown at Navy Times to write a piece worthy of the Weekly World News is not a good reason to change a process that works as intended 99.99 percent of the time.
Brett - you’re being an oxygen thief here. It was a funny, and somewhat sensational article. The fact that he was selected for a DH slot is fucked up. And you know it. Not every response needs to be a lecture about how great the “system” is and how tempered and measured your viewpoint is.
