Event

5.0.6.0. The board of review is held posthumously

Required May not apply Often forgotten

This may not apply to you. You have not answered "Was the board of review the rank needed already held?" yet. Answer it and this step will either settle or drop off.

Where a required board of review has not been conducted, it is held. The Guide states this in two separate places rather than leaving it to be inferred.

Notes and warnings

Note. Two topics say this rather than one, which is unusual and worth knowing when somebody doubts it: topic 5.0.6.0 says a required board is held, and the boards of review section says at 8.0.1.6 that a board may be conducted posthumously where all the requirements were met prior to death.

What this is made of

Where this step comes from

  1. Guide to Advancement (2025), Section 5.0.6.0 · The required board of review is held rather than waived.
  2. Guide to Advancement (2025), Section 8.0.1.6 · A board of review may be conducted posthumously if all the requirements were met prior to death.
