Health is the absence of illness, injury or disease. Wellness is much more than the absence of illness; it is health-promoting behaviors to achieve your full potential. In other words, wellness is the pursuit of your best possible health and well-being. It is a conscious choice, self directed and self motivating.
By: Megan H. The Army Promotion Point System Army promotion points are something of a mystery. Nothing is clearly spelled out and there always seems to be loop holes and shortcuts that no one bothered to tell you. To get promoted to Sergeant (SGT) or Staff Sergeant (SSG), you need to gain promotion points.
Decentralized Promotions (E-2 through E-4) The unit is the promotion authority. The commander decides who gets promoted or not. There are no quotas for promotion for these ranks so, commanders typically promote everyone who meets the âpromotion criteria.â. Promotion Criteria is set by the Army to ensure that the âpromotion flowâ remains stable, and everyone (regardless of MOS) can expect to be promoted at about the same time-frame. Exceptions may apply such as if you join at an advanced rank, for certain accomplishments, or for soldiers in Special Forces.
