Senior Rater (SR) eligibility is described as being below certain ranks; which statement reflects SR eligibility?

• A. <CW2, 1LT, MSG
• B. MG and above
• C. SSgt or above
• D. Capt or above

Answer: (A)

SR eligibility is defined by rank limits, meaning the Senior Rater must be below certain ranks. Specifically, for warrant officers the limit is below CW2, for officers the limit is below 1LT, and for enlisted personnel the limit is below MSG. So the correct description is that SR eligibility is limited to ranks below those thresholds. The other options would imply eligibility at or above those ranks (general officers, staff sergeants, or captains), which does not align with how SR eligibility is defined.
