How many promotion points should I have for promotion?

By any chance have you googled "promotion point calculator" or looked at your promotion point worksheet?

Ok here is your tally. You can get up to 400 from your appearance board which you may or may not "appear" at. A lot of units do this part using what is called a paper board. So that leaves you with the following: Awards, 15 points. Weapons qual, 50 points. College, 60 points. APFT, roughly 60 points.

With that said, first off everything above must be in iPERMS and your RNCO or S1 needs to input everything into 4100. Each category can max at 75 points. The categories are awards, college, self development courses, APFT, weapons qual, TIS/TIG. For college, you can only get to 75 points with a bachelor degree or higher, if not, each semester credit hour is worth 1 point up to max of 60 without degree.

I can rattle off for days, let me know if this helps and if you have further questions. Glad to help.

Why are you asking us? DO you have any NCOs? Who wants you to go to the board, why not ask them.

Do yourself a favor and google "Promotion Point Worksheet" it will tell you exactly what your military records reflect with regards to what is worth promotion points and what isn't. This is an HRC site and the same site that will populate your official PPW after you get your P-Status.

Google can answer a lot of questions. If you want to be a NCO you should start learning how to try and look up things before you reach out for assistance. I'm not saying don't ask questions but something simple as this is easily researchable.

Promtion point worksheet is on HRC and if you arent tracking points for your mos ask retention or s1

Have you tried sitting down with your NCOs(team leader/squad leader/platoon SGT/etc) to see if they can assist you in this matter? After all...that's what they're there for... To hell you

On the Army Human Resources Command website (http://www.hrc.army.mil) they have the latest promotion point cutoffs for both SGT and SSG. The cutoff scores and lists of the following month's promotions are usually published around the 20th of each month. I would go to the website and start monitoring the cutoff scores for your MOS starting now, and keep an eye out each month for it. Also be advised that October is the start of the Fiscal Year, so most cutoff scores go to 798 around that time. The scores gradually come back down through the first part of the next calendar year, so again keep track of it each month.
There are a plethora of websites out there that can help you with most if not all your questions, Google is your friend.

How many points should you have for promotion? Whatever the cut-off is currently. That is how many you should have.

I picked up SGT in March 2013 I believe it was around 370 points
