I am going to be reclassing soon to a 46S and I was approved for the SMAPP program in my reenlistment contract. I am promotable but haven’t done blc. Would I be promoted automatically after I graduate AIT or would I have to wait until my next unit sends me to BLC before I pin?

After you have BLC. If you get BLC completed prior to your AIT you will be promoted upon arrival at your unit. If not, you'll be promoted after BLC. You'll need to take a copy of your SMAPP approval memo to your S1 as your promotion authority source document

My guess is you will probably be promoted after AIT, but you still require BLC and SSD2/3 to be promoted to SSG. But its been awhile since I was Active and someone with more experience may have a better idea.

Yes, according to the new promotion policy that published. Soldier will have a certain amount time to complete PME before your are reverted back to your current grade.
