Can you get your p status back after getting out of the ABCP?

I am promotable due to MLI. My unit is doing a ht/wt screening next week. I know I’m going to fail because I am 6% over on my body fat. Will I get my promotable status back after I’m out of the ABCP since I am MLI or no?

If you are not within standards, then they can bar you. Once you reach and show maintaining standards, the bar goes away- you will have to ask your Command if they will give P back

You will be reintegrated into the MLI the month following your flag lift, assuming no other issues.
6% is a lot, about 4in on the waist.
Eat smart, run, lift.

Once you come off the program you will have to go to the board, they no longer do the MLI I believe

This damn ap won't let me answer, but there's no such thing as MLI anymore. You have to go back to the board and read regs

Thanks everyone for the answers. I’ve been looking around and hadn’t been able to find anything.

It seems like what should have happened is that if you know you're 6% over on body fat that you went and talked to a dietitian or someone about this before it came time to do a record height/weight screening.

Just in case anyone ever has the same question as this I think I found the answer in the regs. From what it says it looks like as soon as your flag is taken off you will be put back on to the promotion list if you are MLI.
