Can your 1SG require max correspondence hours in order for your recommendation for the promotion board?

Today, my 1sg put out a memo stating new requirements to be recommended for the promotion boards. Granted, I actually agree with most of the requirements, but there is one that I fully do not agree with. That is he is forcing all Soldiers to have max hours or he will not recommend us for the board. I already have my P status and am almost complete with BLC (graduate this week), but my Soldier was going to go to the board for February and now, he will not be. 91S only needs 40 points for promotion...
Edit: This is for secondary zone promotion, not primary.
Last Edit: I see that most higher enlisted (mostly retired) all agree with this decision. Maybe it is just a generation thing that I cannot comprehend.

You should do the correspondence whether the 1SG says to or not because if you look on your PPW they give you promotion points. Those are the easiest points to get out of all of them. Knock them out early and worry about the other sections when it comes time for the SSG board and SFC. Those could be what get you denied when it comes down to you and one other Soldier.
