Do BLC Commandant's list promotion points go away after getting promoted to Sergeant?

2022-08-24T23:19:55-04:00

I am currently SGT with P Status, struggling with gaining promotion points. I was looking at my PPW and I have 0 point on PME section. I graduated BLC Commandant's list and I was tracking there should be 20 points. It just shown as "Basic Leader Course (CL) (PTS 0)". Am I understanding promotion point system wrong way or is it error?

Have things changed where you need promotion points after making SSG? Or you've been boarded and are trying to make points? If the latter, drop the "P", you are a SGT. If the former, ensure your records are in order, get into positions of more responsibility, and continue educational pursuits -- Good luck

It is not an error.
Check AR 600-8-19, ch 3-18:
"a) Receive 20 promotion points when recognized as having achieved commandant‘s list status (verified on DA Form 1059) when competing for promotion to SGT."
You are no longer competing for promotion to SGT.

Read all of CH 3 to find out how points work.
