Career officers need not apply: What do the statistics say?
Article Abstract:
The results of Fiscal Year 2007 Lieutenant Colonel Promotion Board were published in January 2006, and while the board statistics looked reasonable, in the demographics of Marine Helicopter Squadron 1 (HMX-1) there was a bias in the selection. Based on the 62.4 percent in one-zone promotion rate, 5 HMX-1 should be selected, but only one made the list in the results, and this event highlights that the promotion process could be inconsistent as the promotion criteria is not clear.
