4.2.1.3. Promptly, and not delayed for reasons unrelated to the requirements
Required May not apply Often forgotten
The review should happen promptly and must not be delayed for reasons unrelated to rank requirements. A unit's calendar, an unpaid subscription or a missing uniform part are not rank requirements.
Notes and warnings
Warning. Promptly means promptly. A board must not be delayed for reasons unrelated to rank requirements: an unpaid subscription, a missing uniform part, a troop's preference for holding all boards at one sitting each quarter. 8.0.0.2 goes further and says a board must be granted when the requirements are met.
