It's my understanding that the old points system has gone away and the new weighs more heavily on NCOERs, ACCP, College Credit, and PT

This is true. For E-5 and above the board now looks at and weigh heavily upon the last 5 NCOERs. I will be sitting on the E-5 board for my state next month, and am looking forward to seeing exactly what the particulars are, and I feel that each state will be slightly different so long as they adhere to AR 600-8-19 and NGR 600-200. After the board I will get back to you on the specifics.

Thank you SSG, it's just been very confusing as the new lists come out, no one seems to know how the list was ranked since points aren't mentioned anymore. I look forward to hearing back from you.

Thank you for reminding me SGT Todd, I forgot to update you!

Indeed, a lot of my decisions were based on their NCOERs, as well as APFT, extra appointed duties, and if they were pursuing civilian education (bettering themselves, taking advantage of our in state tuition waiver). Also of importance were awards, certificates, and medals.

I tried my best to paint a picture of the soldier based on all available information. Let me assure you, it was a very thorough and time consuming process.

The system itself is a digitally tracked points-based tool used to rank the soldiers, in which we logged in and had access to portions of their records.

Thank you, it makes a lot more sense. Things used to be straight to the point and the points made sense off the worksheet given. With the changes it's still hard to look at the list a know for sure what may separate you from the number 1 slot.

I always thought that it was just a simple matter of "Oh, you have the most points? Here you go!" or "Oh, you're going to whine and complain that you've been here x years (which is y years fewer than someone else) but you deserve to be promoted? Here you go!"
