Your P status is for being promoted to the MOS you currently have. Once you have a new MOS.....that P status is gone. There is a caveat. If you make cut off before you are awarded the new MOS, then your promotion sticks.

I would rather worry about learning your new MOS rather then switching and getting promoted right away. As an NCO you need to be technically proficient. How can you lead and train your Soldiers if you don't know your MOS? To answer your question, yes it is possible. We had a few get promoted to E5 the day after they passed their reclass school. They pinned them the day they were leaving the school house.
