How long does it take S1 to remove APFT and HT/WT flags?

So last month I was flagged for APFT and HT/WT, a month later I pass both with flying colors. How long does it take S1 to remove those flags and if I was promotable without BLC will I get to keep the P status or go back to the board?

It's instantaneous. A better question is how long will it take your company to fill out the form to lift your flag and your commander to sign it? Once S1 updates it, it's immediately reflected on your ERB.

Well I passed everything on Tuesday, I’m going to give my S1 the benefit of the doubt and say I’ll wait till Monday to see if my ERB/PPW update. If not I’ll go to S1 and try to get it squared away.

Should be like 48 hours maybe 72. Sounds like they messed up.

According to regulations, a flag is to be initiated or removed within 3 days of the soldier becoming unsatisfactory or satisfactory. Additionally, you should still be promotable, but the caveat to that is that your COC can decide to not recommend you for promotion until they see a consistent number of passed APFTs and HT/WT. Good luck.

UPDATE: my PSG and 1SG decided I shouldn’t be promotable anymore and my PPW now says “NOT RECOMMENDED”, I’ve searched all through the AR and can’t find any reason for it to be taken. I’m going to S1 to get a definitive answer. Is there anything else I can do before going back to the P board?
