what does MLI-RECOMMENDED E5-STEP NCOES REQ mean on my PPW?

I came from the national guard to active duty and my NCO wants me to go to the board my promotion point worksheet says on status MLI-RECOMMENDED E5-STEP NCOES REQ. Does this mean that I do not have to go to the board in order to go to BLC or does this mean that I am just eligible to advance forward in my military career?

Means you need to do BLC in order to pin

Means you only need BLC in order to pin as previously stated.

You are not required to appear before the board, you are already promotable. Once you go to BLC you can pin.

How have you been in long enough to be MLI and not know the answer to this question? Or at least where to find the answer?

Do you need promotion points to go to blc or can your unit send you to blc? how does this work with the new promotion point system?
