Is it possible to bypass the promotion list to obtain your e-5 if you’ve completed BLC and you’re told by your LT and readiness that they are going to promote you as long as your paperwork is in?

Kinda sorta but not really. You could be made a CPL or an Acting Sergeant...where you wear the stripes but still get paid as an E-4.

The likelihood of that happening back in Garrison is 0%. It is a DA requirement to have completed the appropriate PME (professional military education) that the grade requires. However, if you are deployed there are two options in lieu of completing the PME. Battlefield, you have to be MTOEd in the grade in which you are being recommended for promotion, and then PME waiver, you have to meet a minimum promotion point requirement submitted by HRC, if you meet that and they send your packet up you can be promoted if approved my HRC. I was promoted on deployment to SSG without ALC, with a PME waiver at the end of 2018.
