SSG Private RallyPoint Member 3947089 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Being new to the Reserves and AGR, I have never had to raise points (at least that I’m aware of) for promotion. I was told I have to check how many points I have, and then raise my points to be eligible for promotion in my MOS. Any suggestions? 2018-09-08T11:59:57-04:00 SSG Private RallyPoint Member 3947089

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Civilian education. Military education. The two you can immediately effect.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>You still need to go to the board to be promotable.<br />You&#39;re supposed to be a SGT, an NCO, you should be in the regs reading and asking questions about the parts you don&#39;t understand. You&#39;ve literally never looked at a promotion points worksheet which would have the different categories of points listed. <br /><br />Do yourself a favor and learn the information you owe it to your junior soldiers to know. Read the AR 600-8-19 and then go to the HRC website under Enlisted promotions and read the ALARACT concerning semi centralized promotions and the word doc that talks about its implementation.<br /><br />You OWE this to your Soldiers to learn and know this information. You have no business getting promoted to SSG if you can&#39;t mentor your soldiers on how to get promoted to SGT. That should be something they are continously counseled on.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Civilian and military education are the two easiest ways. I always taught my Soldiers to focus on maxing what they had control over (APFT, weapons, civilian and military education). The rest will come when they come. If you max those four it will make getting promoted much easier.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Correspondent Courses are an easy way to gain points if you havnt already maxed them SGT.
