I thought the (P) designator was only used for those who had been selected for promotion by some type of board. Does the designator apply to administrative promotions (E2-E4)?

I feels good to say promoted, but I have never seen nor heard of PFC (P). It's probably a SOldier who was told he is going to be promoted next month so he thinks he is "promotable". It's good for a laugh though! 1SG Private RallyPoint Member Wed, 11 Jun 2014 09:14:33 -0400 2014-06-11T09:14:33-04:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/is-there-such-thing-as-a-pfc-p?n=150801&urlhash=150801 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>That's about as funny as saying PVT(P) lmao SSG Private RallyPoint Member Wed, 11 Jun 2014 09:55:08 -0400 2014-06-11T09:55:08-04:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/is-there-such-thing-as-a-pfc-p?n=150807&urlhash=150807 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>PFC was private first class or an E3.
