I am a member in the Illinois National Guard and I have been struggling to figure out the correct way to calculate points. If anyone could provide me any information it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I'm pretty sure the national guard have a PPW (Promotion point worksheet) Just like active duty and the reserves. You S-1 should be able to provide it for you. It is to help build your packet if not I'm sure you can google the most current one.

You should not have to calculate the points yourself. You need to review your own 4100 for accuracy so that the calculations are correct. All of your awards (badges and AAM and above), date and score from APFT and IWQ, Army schools, Army online schools, college credits. IL ARNG should have their own PAM 600-8-19 or EPS MOI that gives the complete breakdown of points in each field.
These are max possible for each field:
Awards: 50
Weapons Qualification: 75
APFT: 75
Other resident courses:50
Self-Development courses (online): 75
Civilian Education: 75
Total admin points: 400
Board: 600
Total possible: 1000

Points are calculated based on two areas of emphasis. There are 400 points that your chain of command, namely your section NCO will fill out a form and justify their evaluation. The second set of points come from things such as civilian education, awards, etc. that have a preset point value for each thing you do. After both of those are totaled, soldiers who meet time in grade and time in service requirements are ranked by score on a promotion list. The soldier with the most points gets the next opportunity for the region of the state they selected, or statewide if they selected that.

I dont know if guard is the same as active but there is a promotion point worksheet website you sign in with CAC and it will show your points calculation. Google it.
