You've got some time to make those points when you appear before the board for SGT. Why do you need 300 points so fast?

If I knew how to make points fast, I would have done a lot better with women over my 70+ years.

Max out your correspondence courses
That's 80 right their.
High pt score
Score a 36 and above on small arms qual
Each COA is 5 points
Each aam is 10
Each arcom is 20

Would be easier to know what your points are currently at

Pt And weapons qual are your best bet. If you have college credit take your transcript to your s1. Do dental sustainment and nurse sustainment on alms.

As previously said, weapons qual, pt, awards, correspondence courses, military and civilian education. My question is why do you need promotion points fast as a PFC?

Good PT score and weapons qual. If you have college credits, get your transcript and have your go Army Ed center on post transfer your hours into a memorandum. Take that memorandum to your S1 to log towards your PPW. Each credit hour is worth 2 promotion points. So for ex. 3 credit hours will give you 6 total points. Having college credits or a college degree helps out with points a lot for points.
