• A. False
• B. Depends
• C. Not specified
• D. True

Answer: (D)

Automatic approvals for a supplemental board are not the norm in the promotion process. The usual approach is that a record that did not meet a prior board does not automatically move on to a supplemental board for reconsideration. The only exception to that rule is if the static closeout date evaluation is missing; in that specific case, there is an automatic approval to allow supplemental board consideration. So the statement is true because the sole automatic path hinges on a missing static closeout date evaluation, and otherwise there isn’t an automatic approval.
