Someone viewed my profile yesterday, and identified himself as a PFC (P). 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)?

Why must people be stupid, if you are going to fake the funk then get the rank right lol. Maybe it stands for possibly, like possibly going to get demoted soon.

Well, it all depends on how its viewed, a PFC is will be eligible for promotion after a given time in service, so by alrights they are an appointment, but they can carry a promotable status (P) do to a number of variables at the discretion of the units command, the PFC will never really know they are carrying the eligibility, unless it's mentioned in a counseling session.

You are conflating a Skill Qualification Index or “SQI” with something entirely different. The SQI is the character which appears in the fifth position of the MOSC. The (P) in parentheses as in the example only pertains to a soldier who has been selected for promotion but awaiting points or a sequence number. Hence an 11B3P is clearly a SSG, but only a SSG(P) if he has been selected for promotion to SFC by a centralized board.
