My Platoon Sergeant informed me that they changed when the Weapons Qualification for promotion points. He stated that it changed from 2 years to 1 year. Is this true? Could you point me to the reference please as well.

Thanks for all the help!



ATTENTION MORE INFO: This is in reference to the Weapons Qualification expiring. I have not failed a weapons qual.

Your score has to be no more than 24 months old, and be the most recent qualification you shot.
Reference is AR 600-8-19, para 3-42a.

1SG Healy has you on the right track. I looked through the other replies and they were rather lackluster. Ultimately if your PSG is throwing regs at you, he needs to show you the evidence to back it up i.e. a milper message showing the pending change to regulation or the actual updated change.

SGT (Join to see) - Correct, as of 25 April, 2017.
My answer to the OP was over five years ago.
Thanks for the update!

So based on your knowledge he was incorrect about that changing from 2 years to 1 year? Do you happen to know where I can find that within a regualtion?

My Platoon Sergeant told me that I could lose my promotable status if I dont take a Weapons Qual soon. I took my last weapons qualification on April 9th, 2014. He states that the regulation changed from 2 years to 1 year. But when I look at my promotion points worksheet is still shows 2 years. His response to that was it probably just didnt update yet. So I just wanted to know where we justify the actual time before it expires in black in white.

Ok Specialist P K. According to PPW its still 2 years however SPC Sanchez be aware that your PSG may reccomend the removal of your status on the grounds that you did not maintain the your qualification
