Correspondence courses are often untapped sources for points.

Increase PT, weapons qual score, volunteer and earn the MOVSM (I worked at our Division museum in the archives during four day weekends and racked up the hours quick), make sure your ERB is accurate and that you've received awards you're eligible for (ie driver's badge), college, earn ACH in NCOES, try to walk on at Air Assault or go to any school you can get (UPL, EPO, etc.).

I'm a 92F SGT, I'm taking college courses. How else can I gain more promotion points?

You seem to be leaving important information out of your RP profile. I am interested in your TIS and TIG. Sometimes it does not matter how much you get on points, but more on how long you have been doing your job and have served. Maybe it is just not your time yet. Promotion points are important, but experience is invaluable.

In older times you could take correspondence courses from any branch receiving Point's. some of it's very good reading and great information

Hit those boards up. A lot of times you will get a AAM or higher if you win. Also try to get a special duty assignment like Drill Sergeant or Receuiter. Those are also worth promotion points. Nevertheless continue to grind

Have you gone to ALC? If so get the SOLE certification. Its worth 25 points under technical.
