ENLISTED PROMOTION & ADVANCEMENT MANAGEMENT (ePAM) This is the home page of the ePAM system. This is the system in which MNP-EPP manages all enlistment advancement and promotions.

ADVANCEMENTS AR 600-8-19, Enlisted Promotions and Reductions, dated 30 April 2010 (RAR) 27 December 2011 Unit Commanders are responsible for advancing Soldiers. ePAM provides advancement rosters. These rosters are updated daily. ePAM also provides waiver dates. Soldiers in the grade of E1, E2, and E3, may be advanced to the next higher grade when they meet time in grade and other requirements established by AR 600-8-19.

ADVANCEMENTS Eligibility criteria for promotion to PV2, PFC, and SPC will be as follows: The promotion to PV2 requirement is 6 months TIS (4 months w/waiver). The promotion to PFC requirements are 12 months TIS and 4 months TIMIG (6 months TIS and 2 months TIG w/waiver) . The promotion to SPC requirements are 24 months TIS and 6 months TIMIG (18 months TIS and 3 months TIG w/waiver) Must have a current passing APFT and be MOSQ not 09B1O

ADVANCEMENTS ADMIN ACTIONS: All Soldiers must not be flagged or barred from reenlistment. Any Soldier previously reduced must be fully qualified (without waiver) for promotion to the next higher grade. Units will initiate a Personnel Action Request (PAR) in RCAS and publish Enlisted Promotion orders for all advancements. When the MILPO Order is published the SIDPERS (11g) transaction will be processed and the order will be placed in the Soldiers iPERMS file.

ADVANCEMENTS If a unit CDR elects not to advance a Soldier who meets requirements without a waiver they must follow the procedures outlined in AR 600-8-19, Chapter 2. Effective date and DOR are the same. This applies for advancement and reduction. The day the order is published will be the effective date of the order. Any requests to backdate the effective date must be submitted in memo format to MNP-EPP with justification as to why the order was not published in a timely manner.

ADVANCEMENTS/ REDUCTIONS The MILPO is the final approval authority for all requests to backdate. Reduction authority for SPC/CPL and below is the Company CDR. Reductions will also be processed as a MILPO order in RCAS and automatically input into SIDPERS (11g) and the Soldiers iPERMS file. All supporting documents will be maintained at the BN level as per AR 600-8-19 chapter 10

SELECTIONS In ePAM your UA can track all selections pertaining to your unit.

SELECTIONS HOW SELECTIONS ARE MADE: Once a vacancy is determined a second priority fill the selection is added into the Enlisted Promotion and Advancement Management system Upon order of received MNP-EPP will make selection of the next soldier that is within tolerance at the time of the selection. Once the selection is made a automatic email is sent out the Soldier with a selection letter. The Selection letter will have a suspense in which the Soldier must accept or decline the promotion.

SELECTIONS HOW SELECTIONS ARE MADE: A separate email is also sent to the Soldier’s COC notifying them of the selection and anything needed for the completion of the promotion ie: extension or clearance. Once the Soldier is fully eligible for promotion the promotion authority will publish the promotion order as of the date the Soldier became fully eligible.

STABS In ePAM your UA can track all STABs pertaining to your unit.

Legitimate STABS MOS Administrative error by Soldier’s Chain of Command or MNP Whose unit disbanded or reorganized due to force structure changes, causing Soldier to reclassify or change zones for promotion consideration.

STABs The following reasons do not constitute a STAB: Incorrect points for date on NGB Form 4100-1-R-E and other records, which the Soldier reviewed prior to the date, the original board date. Soldiers who transfer from another component after the convening date of the board. These Soldiers must wait until the next regularly scheduled promotion board before they are eligible to be considered. Changing Primary MOS for upward mobility

STABs STAB’s will be signed by the Battalion Commander or CSM, or higher, and forwarded with supporting documentation to MNP-PAR. Requests are then uploaded into ePAM. If the STAB is approved and results in a Soldier being selected for promotion, the Soldiers DOR cannot be any earlier than when the request was received in MNP or the date the Soldier accepted the promotion and meets all promotion criteria.
