SGT Private RallyPoint Member 7995144 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Hello,<br /><br />Someone, please explain to me, if I qualify. I picked up an E-5 this month and want to reclass. 25E is the best option for me, but I am confused about requirements. My TIS is 2,5 years. <br />The question is, if my TIS and TIG are ineligible for an E6 promotion, am I eligible for the Special MOS Alignment Promotion Program?<br /><br />This is from SMAPP:<br /><br />a. Must meet qualifications for promotion to the next higher rank, including minimum time in service and time in grade requirements. Soldiers are not required to be a graduate of Noncommissioned Officer Professional Development System (NCOPDS) nor be in a promotable status. Provided they are otherwise eligible in accordance with AR 600-8-19, paragraph 1-11 (including required NCOPDS) Soldiers will be promoted effective on the graduation date from the MOS-qualifying schools, which occurs after all training phases are completed and the MOS is awarded. When Soldiers complete the MOS-qualifying training without having first met the NCOPDS requirements for promotion as provided for in AR 600-8-19, paragraph 1-29, the promotion will be effective the date the NCOPDS requirement is met. See AR 600-8-19, paragraph 1-35 for additional information.<br /><br />(a) Must be a sergeant; Soldiers will be promoted to staff sergeant upon graduation and award of MOS 25E.<br /><br />This is from U.S. Army Signal School:<br /><br />Active Army, National Guard and Reserve Component SGT - MSG with less than 12 years in service who are assigned to, or are expected to be assigned to, a position requiring classification as MOS 25E30. 2022-11-23T07:49:52-05:00 SGT Private RallyPoint Member 7995144

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>You check with your Retention NCO, always the quickest and usually the best way as they get involved later anyway.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Reclass questions need to be directed to your Career Counselor. Your Career Counselor processes your reclass request and you are not referencing the correct qualification source documents for the MOS. <br /><br />As far as SMAPP goes, as long as you meet ALL other requirements except being promotable, your reclass can be processed under SMAPP while you are a non promotable SGT
