Which action is NOT considered when evaluating a Soldier's conduct for promotion?

When evaluating a Soldier's conduct for promotion, the primary focus is on factors that reflect their behavior, character, and ability to uphold military standards. Time spent in service is not typically a direct measure of a Soldier's conduct; rather, it serves more as a baseline eligibility criterion for promotion rather than an evaluative measure of a Soldier’s actions or behavior.

In contrast, past disciplinary actions can indicate issues relating to a Soldier's adherence to military standards, peer evaluations provide insight into the Soldier's reputation and behavior among colleagues, and participation in volunteer activities showcases engagement and commitment to the unit and community, all of which are integral to assessing a Soldier's conduct for promotion. Thus, time spent in service does not directly inform an assessment of conduct in the same way these other factors do.
