I have a soldier w/issues. The only reg. I have found is dated 1 JUL 09.

Soldier is on PPRL with his home unit (falls under 81st RSC). He is on ADOS orders at Fort Wainwright, AK as a military pay tech. Orders are a minimum of 365 days. He is getting conflicting information as to why he has not been promoted when others have, and how/what to do to get promoted.

The 9th (fort wainwright region) has openings in his MOS. He requested to transfer PPRL (per info off HRC, image attached), but it seems his unit is unclear of how to do this/unaware of this option. I am trying seeking the process (PowerPoint, memo, forms, etc) to be able to help them help him.

SSG (Join to see) Talk to SFC Walcott with the 1984th in Fort Richardson. I have worked with her in the past and she would be able to point you in the right direction. She is awesome in being able to resolve these type issues.

He should have no issue being promoted. I went from E-5 to E-8 while on a combination of back to back MOB/COADOS orders. I believe that it is as simple as promoting the Soldier as any other Soldier on the PPRL. The Soldier doesn't necessarily need a vacant Paragraph and line number to fill to be promoted while I'm ADOS orders. Upon REFRAD the Soldier will have one year to find a vacant position to be slotted into in order to retain the promotion. The PPG excerpt may be the most recent guidance. The PPG is a living document that is basically the most current guidance due to the contact revision and updates to it.

If all else fails call HRC and get a direct opine on this particular Soldier. Here's and a few things I've learned since becoming a 1SG with Soldiers mobbed.

1. The mileage can hurt him, i.e., he put 50 miles and there's no slots in that mileage radius, then he can't be promoted. If you know there's slots in that radius there may be a UMR problem.
2. APFT expired in the system, check CSMM.
3. An old flag hasn't been removed, check CSMM.

Good Luck
