You are missing a lot of details in this post. Have you gone to a promotion board? Have you reviewed AR 600-8-19 to see if you are eligible to go to a promotion board?

It would show on the left side of your ERB if it shows your promotion points and also reflects your MOS next where it says promotion MOS.

Honestly, I cannot add any more than SGT Wiley said, but I do want to add that your NCO should mentor you a little better and keep you better informed.......on top of that I recommend you keep yourself better informed as well.

I guess I should really change my original question. I know I don't have promotable status because I have not even been to an NCO board. So I suppose my real question is how do I know if I am in my primary or secondary zone.

Your unit should have a promotion roster (C-10) that all promotables NCO's who are waiting on points should have to review and sign each month. AR 600-8-19 explains that process. Question, did you go to the promotion board?

How much time in service do you have? Time in grade? Is SSD 1 complete?

Hope this helps. Reservists, but this eligibility portion should be the same.

Time in service: 36 months (PZ); 18 months (SZ)
Time in grade: 8 months (PZ); 4 months (SZ)

Check against your ERB, it should state if you are in fact DA selected or not.

You should be getting a professional growth counseling and it appears that that isn't happening. I would really ask for one and speak with the first NCO in your support channel that can answer the question.

If I were you I would go onto HRC's website. Choose enlisted promotions and then about halfway down the page choose the Promotion Point Worksheet (PPW). When you open the PPW it will say what your status is. Best of luck!
