I have always been told the first score is what is used for promotions but was never given a reference? Now that I am the one enforcing the regs correctly.

I would think that showing improved skills would count for something.

SGT (Join to see) It's based on the most recent qualification on file (within 24-months), not the first or highest. Which means, they (you) need to ensure their most recent record qualification is properly inputted so it counts.

That being said, it's an individual leadership ethics issue if you decide to use an older qualification record because it gives them a higher score than a more recent version that is lower. I wouldn't recommend making that compromise, because it will taint your integrity on later issues.

Reference: Para 3-16a, AR 600-8-19, Enlisted Promotions and Reductions (14 September 2016)

It's currently based on the most recent qualification score within the last 24-months.

Army Rifle Qualification you go more than one time. Do you go with the highest score or the first?

It SHOULD be whatever your scored last. However, it's up to your orderly room to update your score. If you do less the second qual in the year than your first, they may not bother updating it. So it'll be whatever your ERB says.
