#5 I can only vouch for the Army, but promotion from 2d to 1st LT is an administrative act without any selection board at the end of the second year of service. The personnel office sends a form to the individual's commander and they check a box and return. If the don't recommend promotion, they have to explain why it shouldn't be done. If someone is separated from service before the end of second year, that routine would not occur.

#9 Dr. Scott Bennett, formerly of the U.S. Army 11th Psychological Operations Battalion, attempted to blow the whistle by contacting the commercially-controlled media and writing to US politicians after being sacked from his job as terrorist finance investigator after he proved too zealous at the job. "He has developed and managed psychological warfare theories, products, and operations for U.S. Special Operations Command, U.S. Central Command, the State Department Coordinator for Counterterrorism, and other government agencies." He was a Research Fellow at the Heritage Foundation.
