He would like his performance reports his total active service and experience be considered and he be granted a waiver to test for the 2006E7 promotion cycle. DPPPWB states that all members must “bide their time” to mature, gain knowledge, attend PME, and develop leadership skills in each rank before advancing to the next rank. However, the evidence provided does not persuade us that granting the applicant a waiver to test for the 06E7 promotion cycle is appropriate.
