To be considered for 37F selection, do I need to have my promotable status removed or am I able to still get promoted to E-6?

I'm one year into a three year assignment so I got a little time before I can do anything, but that's where my question comes in. Right now I'm an E-5 promotable. I read on the PYSOP recruiting page that you have to be E-4 or E-5 non-promotable, however on the Army Retention In/Out Calls for 37F it has a Y under In for E-4, E-5, and E-6. So my question is, do I need to have my promotable status removed and stay an E-5 in order to be considered for selection or am I able to still get promoted to E-6 while I'm in this unit (if I pick up) and still be ok? I'm ok with whatever route I need to take, I'm just curious as to what's the right answer.

The In/Out calls only establish the strengths of the MOS, the MOS Proponent determines what ranks they will accept.

When I reclassed, my previous branch wanted to remove my promotable status. 37F did an exception to policy and I kept it.

I just got my waiver approved to go back to POAS as an E-5(P) this past Wednesday; I'll be in the September class. So it is possible, but I'm going to assume it's on a case by case basis.

Reach out to a SORB recruiter and they will be able to tell you for sure the current application guidelines

Talk with a recruiter and they will have the most up to date information on this question. A few years ago we were taking in E-5 promotable’s along with individuals whom had already pinned E-6. But things change so find the nearest recruiter.
