Will soldiers who have already completed SSD 1 and received the points for it have them taken away?

I have seen that at some point SSD 1 will no longer be worth promotion points, if you have already completed it will those points be grandfathered in or will they be taken away when it happens?

CPL Harden, the short answer is yes and no grandfathering. The points are going away because it is a requirement for all personnel to have SSD1 to be eligible for promotion so no need to award points for something everyone has to have. At least that is the reason I was given.

MILPER Message 14-016 (STRUCTURED SELF DEVELOPMENT LEVEL I (SSD-I) AND SEMI-CENTRALIZED PROMOTIONS)

"Promotions points for SSD-1 (16 points) will be TERMINATED concurrent with the 1JUL2014 promotion month."

SGT Private RallyPoint Member SGT you don't get points for SSD anymore since it's a requirement before going too the certain schools.
