<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If all that is the case, then why are they planning to wipe out temporary promotions?

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I do like how BLC and ALC are now worth promotion points for those promotable SPC/CPL’s and SGT’s in low density MOS’s where it is much more difficult to get that promotion.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My question is... with the low number of recent recruits and now making promotion &quot;easier&quot; what are the implications three years from now? Especially at SFC and higher the ranks might clog up more.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>That&#39;s all fine and dandy, but I want to k ow how the issue of sear distribution will be fixed....especially for those very low density MOSs that get maybe 4-5 seats a year.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>This is how they used to do it...this is how it was when I first came in. You had no PME requirement for SGT, PLDC (then WLC, now BLC) for SSG, BNCOC (now ALC) for SFC and ANCOC (SLC) for MSG. That&#39;s how it was until they &quot;redesigned&quot; it an MLC was created and then it was BLC for SGT, ALC for SSG , SLC for SFC and MLC for MSG.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Theoretically this shouldn’t affect later promotions as much as you’re thinking, because the PME is still required for advancement. Really all this means is the temporary promotions from the last year no longer have a deadline to make their PME. I think SMAs intent is to give these NCOs the visual confirmation (ie stripes) of their position, and not punish them for the continual backlog at PME courses. Ultimately, they still need it if they intend to continue their career. The timing is just less critical.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>When I was i the Army everything g was based on performance, Time in Garde, and time in Service. If you were an NCO and had attended the NCO Academy it was plus. NCOES was also a help. March 1967-December 1977.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>IMO the Army makes this way more difficult than it needs to be.
