Was I wrongfully stripped of my promotable status for being investigated for a false allegation?

Here's the situation, My ex wife called IG and filed a false allegation against me saying that I committed adultery during our marriage. I was flagged and lost my promotable status. After the Investigation the findings came back unfounded, however; my promotable status was not reinstated. I was told that I had to go back to the promotion board to get it back. I looked into it and asked around from what I gathered, it is up to the first sergeant and company/battery commander. I am about to graduate Basic Leader Course and I was curious as all of your experience in a situation like this. Also, during the investigation, I maintained my military bearing and stayed professional. Any and all opinions welcome! Thanks in advance

A suspension of favorable action does not automatically include removal. You need to visit your S1, retention and IG to see what you can do for yourself. Help the unit help you. Thank you for your service.

Your promotable status should not have been removed until the investigation was completed and a determination on the findings were made. Since everything was unfounded you suppose to receive your promotable status back because it was never suppose to be taken away. Your chain of command jumped the gun and punished you before the investigation was completed. Have your S1 to call Enlisted Promotion at HRC to explain what happened and see what kind of assistance they can offer. SGT (Join to see)

I would request an IG inquiry since been under investigation doesn’t require to remove your promotable status. A FLAG, yes! It once the investigation is over you go back to business as usual.

The current promotion system wouldn't allow you to be pinned without BLC.
Push for honour grad and show your leadership that you're still promotable.
