When switching from the Army Reserve to Active duty as a promotable CPL, do you have to go to an Active Duty Board? https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/when-switching-from-the-army-reserve-to-active-duty-as-a-promotable-cpl-do-you-have-to-go-to-an-active-duty-board <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I&#39;m currently at the tail end of transferring from Reserves to Active. My promotion packet was submitted awhile back and I&#39;m wondering since the Reserves doesn&#39;t have an in-person board if I&#39;ll have to restart the promotion process and go to the board when I get to my Active unit. My situation isn&#39;t a common one so it&#39;s hard to find guidance on it. My instinct tells me I&#39;ll have to completely restart the promotion process, but I&#39;m hoping maybe I&#39;ll get lucky.

Not sure why you weren&#39;t getting the answer from your folks as the regulation (600-8-19) is pretty clear on it:<br /><br />5–21. Reassignment prior to promotion<br />a. When a Soldier is reassigned outside the jurisdiction of the promotion authority, he or she must be removed from the PPRL. A copy of the PPRL will be forwarded to the Soldier’s gaining command.<br /><br />So, you&#39;re removed from the promotion list but basically the recommendation that you be promoted is forwarded to your gaining command.
