Need some assistance with one of my soldiers (SPC) who lost his promotable status earlier this year. He was in Japan and was having some issues with his knee. Went to the doctors and they put him on a temporary profile. He was going to have surgery to fix the issue, however he came down on orders for Korea. The doctors in Japan told him to wait on the surgery until get got to Korea. He came here and the doctors told him they will try a different route with physical therapy and use surgery as a last resort. So when April came around he wasn't able to take his PT test. His profile stated that he wasn't able to do any alternate events for the PT Test. When he wasn't able to take the PT test the commander here pulled his promotable status. Being curious I looked at the Promotion and Reduction Regulation (AR 600-8-19) and it states
Chapter 1 Paragraph 32 C) 1. AA, AGR, and TPU Soldiers with a temporary profile that prohibit taking one or more events of the APFT will use their current APFT score provided it is not more than 2 years old at the time of the promotion point computation.
If he had his promotable status he would have been picked up for October promotion. My question is; Can I get his status back and then however long it takes get his date back dated to 1 October?
Thank you for your input!!

I want to thank you for your input and support. I have had a few conversations with my soldier and have told him the options that are available for him to take. Of course we do have a strong case to be able to get him back on the list. However, having first hand experience on how long it takes for paperwork to work its way up the chain. It can take quite a while until we hear anything. Then told him he can just go back to the promotion board and get his promotable status back.
After some thought on his end he has decided to just go back to the board. He is no stranger to boards. He competed all the way up to the PACOM level on no too long ago. I told him I am behind him all the way.
Again thank you all. This is one reason why I am glad I joined this social network. Have a lot of soldiers from all over the place that can help others out.

Did the commander give written communication before his status was pulled? Soldiers are supposed to get 15 days notice prior to this happening if they are being removed for substandard performance or other inefficiencies (AR 600-8-19, ch. 3-26). The Soldier has the right make a statement.
or
Soldier will be dropped from the promotion standing list by HRC if they do not maintain a valid PT score within the last 12 months. I "think" the commander could have been able to write a MFR if he caught this in time.... or maybe he can still write one up and S1 will put him back on the list? I'm not sure how strict your S1 is. Inaction on part of the chain of command resulted in Soldiers having to be re-boarded when I was at 2ID (eg. Unit did not update PT score and Soldier fell off the promotions list.) Ultimately though, it's the Soldier's responsibility to keep up with his own records.

I talked with my soldier and he said he had no notice that he was going to be dropped from the promotion list. He was checked his ERB in March and he had his promotable status there then after April he had checked it for something else and saw that it was taken off. However, I think that with the new automated PPW that if either PT test or weapon qualification expires that it takes you off the list automatically.

Putting your Soldier in the promotion standing list should not be a problem, get with your S1, you can also check HRC's promotion section for more information on how to get it done
