The Long Island City Bulldog Battalion is one that we can never forget. With it shares of ups and downs we have come to understand how an Army JROTC unit is suppose to work. With open arms we welcome the new freshman into our beloved corps and with new cadets come the same old question we answer year after year, the promotion.

Every new cadet comes in with the same dream, to become the battalion superhero also known as the lieutenant colonel. But just as important as the question is the answer. Now there is no sure fire way of becoming battalion commander but we do have a guide that will help you get there. It is called “The Promotion Board”.

The promotion board is point system that is designed to evaluate which cadet is ready for what rank. It consists of multiple areas from the fields of academic knowledge to fitness and first aid. The promotion board is an easy way to help the senior leaders fairly and properly promote the new cadets. But hold on to your dreams because you or one of the ones you see around could be the next lieutenant colonel.  In order to get promoted there will always be a recommendation needed that goes through the chain of command and eventually gives any cadet their new rank.
