Completing BLC is not a countdown indicator to promotion. It is the door which opens the capability to BE considered for promotion. The short answer is no one here can answer your question because they don't know your MOS cutoff or how many points your have or where you fall on the list.

Went to PNCOC C/A and BNCOC C/A at Fort Sherman RP back to back in 1983. I even made distinguished honor grad in BNCOC. I still had to make points, being promoted almost a year and a half later. Yes, a SSG can buy more beer than a SGT but experience is worth more. It will happen for you.

Soldier has already made his cut-off points and is in the E-5 slot. Now he just has to still have all go's in APFT, HT/WT, Deployability, Graduated leadership school for slot, etc ...

That is a very personal question (meaning it depends greatly upon the person in question and on the unit’s policy towards promotion).
That is a question best asked to your leadership. That being said, it’s your career, so be sure to bring it up with your leadership when you are able.
