NOTE: Before presenting this lesson, instructors must thoroughly prepare by studying this lesson and identified reference materials. Throughout this lesson, solicit from students the challenges they experienced in the current Operational Environment (OE) and what they did to resolve them. Encourage the students to apply at least 1 of the 8 critical variables: Political, Military, Economic, Social, Information, Infrastructure, Physical Environment, and Time. MOTIVATOR: How many of you are prior enlisted? How many had to go in front of a promotion board? How many of you were SFC or Above? All of you have seen first hand how the enlisted promotions system works. As S1s, you are going to be in charge of overseeing that system. You’ll see some similarities and some differences compared to the Officer Promotions system. NOTE: Determine the level of experience and knowledge of your Soldiers to gauge the level of detailed required to properly deliver this lesson. The most crucial difference for you to understand is that you are NOT responsible for managing enlisted promotions day-to-day. Enlisted Promotions are enlisted business. As such, your NCOIC will work with the BN CSM to manage this system. However, as the officer, you are ultimately responsible for everything your shop does or fail to do. Additionally, it is not unusual for officers who have mismanaged the promotion system to be relieved of their duties. For this reason, you need to know what right looks like, so that you can supervise and QC enlisted promotions. However, give your NCO the freedom to run daily ops, until they give you a reason not to trust them. Consequently, it is not unusual for officers who have mismanaged the promotion system to be relieved of their duties. USAR/ARNG info – Today’s class is primarily focused on AA. For those of you who are USAR/ARNG, it’s still important to know, because you may deploy and/or serve as a S1 for AA. I will mention some aspects of Reserve-component promotions today, but this folder also has some great info. I encourage you to look over AR on your own time.

Promotion Systems Decentralized (Chapter 2)
Advancements to PV2 thru SPC Promotion Authority: Unit CDR Semi-Centralized (Chapter 3) Advancements to SGT & SSG Promotion Authority: BN CDR Centralized (Chapter 4) Promotion to SFC thru SGM Promotion Authority: HRC SHOW SLIDE 5: PROMOTION SYSTEMS Learning Step / Activity 1. Determine the Appropriate Promotion Authorities for Each Level of Enlisted Promotions. Method of Instruction: Conference / Discussion Instructor to Student Ratio: 1:36 Time of Instruction: 20 mins Media: Large Group Instruction a. Three promotion systems exist for enlisted personnel: decentralized, semi-centralized, and centralized. We will discuss each one in detail. (1) Decentralized system, which is covered in Chapter 2 of AR Advancements to PV2 thru SPC – junior enlisted Promotion authority – Company CDR (Unit CDR is reg). However, the BN CDR is approval authority for waivers to SPC (2) Semi-centralized promotion system, which is covered in Chapter 3. Promotions to SGT and SSG – Junior NCOs Promotion authority – Battalion CDR (Unit CDR is reg). However, the Army provides the promotion point level for promotions to the next level to control the NCO population of a specific MOS at any given time. (3) Centralized promotion system, which is covered in Chapter 4. Promotions to SFC thru CSM – Senior NCOs Promotion authority - HRC. It is becoming more and more of the Soldier’s responsibility to ensure they are ready for the board and their board file is correct, but, as HRs, you’ll assist your NCOs. b. Chap 5-6 discusses USAR; Chap 7 discuses ARNG

Decentralized Promotions
PV2, PFC, & SPC SHOW SLIDE 7: DECENTRALIZED PROMOTIONS Learning Step / Activity 2. Identify the Principles of the Decentralized Promotion System Method of Instruction: Conference / Discussion Instructor to Student Ratio: 1:36 Time of Instruction: 1 hr / 30 mins Media: Large Group Instruction a. The first system we will cover is the Decentralized Promotion System. This system covers promotions to PV2, PFC, and SPC and involves two different types of calculations. The calculations are not difficult and you are allowed to use your calculator. b. This is an important system to know because, as the BN S1, you will manage this system entirely at your level. Plus, if you become a unit CDR, you will serve as the promotion authority. NOTE: Ask students to provide you with a positive experience they had when they were promoted within the decentralized system. If non of your students are prior enlisted, be provide a positive a personal experience.

Two Types of Promotions:
Promotion Criteria Based on BASD (TIS) and DOR (TIG) Two Types of Promotions: Automatic – TAPDB advances the Soldier automatically, unless HR blocks the promotion Waiver – CDRs can select a limited number of Soldiers to promote early SHOW SLIDE 8: PROMOTION CRITERIA (BASED ON BASD (TIS) AND DOR(TIG)) Soldiers must be in a promotable status on the effective date of promotion. b. The promotion authority or a higher headquarters may determine a Soldier’s eligibility for promotion with a retro-active DOR when the Soldier’s promotion was delayed due to administrative error. Percentage limitations outlined in this chapter apply retroactively. c. CDRs may promote Soldiers with a waiver provided they have promotion capability within the percentage waiver restriction as outlined in AR ,paragraph 2–5. d. BASD will be used to determine TIS for RA Soldiers. PEBD will be used to determine TIS for RC Soldiers. For USAR (TPU) compute TIS from date of original enlistment into military service, but do not include service in the Delayed Entry Program (DEP) for Soldiers who have transferred from the RA with no break in military service. Soldiers promoted after enlistment, but prior to initial military training, will use the BASD (RA) or PEBD (RC) to compute the TIS requirements for the next promotion. e. Soldiers will be promoted only in their PMOS or CPMOS. As an exception, both USAR and ARNGUS Soldiers who must be retrained in a new MOS as a result of unit reorganization, relocation, or inactivation may be considered eligible for promotion. This exception is based on qualification in the former PMOS and provided the Soldier enrolls within 12 months following assignment in the duty position and satisfactorily participates in an approved formal course of instruction leading to the award of the MOS within 24 months of assignment to the duty position. A Soldier will be reduced if not qualified in new MOS within 24 months of assignment to the duty position. f. The HR specialist will conduct a monthly audit of 10 percent of RA units serviced to ensure waiver ceilings are correctly computed and executed. Audit schedule will ensure each promotion authority is reviewed at least once annually. g. The HR specialist will provide immediate training to promotion authorities who misapply waiver rules. The HR specialist will report all incidents or misapplications to the promotion authority’s next higher personnel manager and to the chief personnel manager for the installation or theater. h. Authority for promotion under the Army Civilian Acquired Skills Program (ACASP) is AR 601–210. For ARNGUS, the promotion authority for ACASP is the ARNG accession options criteria. AR , Para 2-2

Promotion Criteria BASD → TIS DOR → TIG AR 600-8-19, Para 2-3
SHOW SLIDE 9: PROMOTION CRITERIA The AAA–117 for the RA, the Enlisted Promotion Application for the USAR, and DA Form 4187 or promotion orders for the ARNG are the official instruments used by CDRs to recommend Soldiers for promotion to SPC and below. When the CDR denies promotion, he or she may promote the Soldier on the next automated enlisted advancement report, provided the Soldier is otherwise qualified in accordance with paragraph 1–10. b. Promotions to PV2, PFC, and SPC will be made automatically by the TAPDB (RA and USAR) or immediately with promotion orders (ARNG) for posting to the automated personnel file and/or the master military pay file. ARNG and USAR Soldiers on IADT will not be promoted to SPC unless concurrence is obtained from the Soldier’s RC unit. DA Form 4187 or promotion orders will be used for all USAR Soldiers and all ARNGUS Soldiers awaiting initial military training (special promotions and split training option-phase II) and all promotions for Soldiers in a Title 10 status (including mobilization). DA Form 4187 will not be used for other automatic promotions. ARNG Soldiers are not required to be MOS qualified for promotion through SPC. c. Eligibility criteria for automatic (RA and USAR) or immediate (ARNG) promotion to PV2, PFC, and SPC will be as follows: (1) Promotion to PV2 is 6 months TIS. (2) Promotion to PFC is 12 months TIS and 4 months TIG. (3) Promotion to SPC is 24 months TIS and 6 months TIG. (4) Soldiers must meet eligibility criteria in paragraph 1–10 (5) Any Soldier previously reduced (for misconduct, inefficiency, or cause) must be fully qualified (without a waiver) for promotion to the next higher rank. d. If a CDR elects not to recommend a Soldier for promotion on the automatic promotion date, the CDR must annotate “NO” on the AAA–117 (RA) or GRA–PO1 (Advancement Eligibility Status Roster) (USAR), then the CDR (or BN HR) must prepare a DA Form 4187 denying the promotion. A DA Form 268 will be submitted no later than the 20th day of the month preceding the month of automatic promotion. The first-line leader must counsel the Soldier, using DA Form 4856 (Developmental Counseling Form). The DA Form 4187 and the DA Form 4856 must be attached to the enlisted advancement report before it is forwarded to the BN S1 HR specialist. The BN S1 HR specialist must submit a Flag transaction in the personnel system to block the promotion as described below. e. The DA Form 268 denying the promotion will be used by the BN HR to initiate a Flag transaction by using code PA as the initial and reason code and inputting the transaction into the automated system. This will stop an automatic promotion (per para 7–40, ARNG Soldiers will be considered for promotion but will not be eligible or available for selection). The Flag must be closed using Flag code PE no later than the 2nd working day following the date the Soldier would have been automatically promoted. ARNG Soldiers will then be available and eligible to be promoted if a vacancy is available. f. CDRs must authenticate a promotion instrument (DA Form 4187) to promote Soldiers who were otherwise ineligible (for example, flagged or barred from reenlistment) at the required time for automatic promotion. This promotion requires a grade change (GRCH) transaction. The effective date and DOR will correlate with the date the promotion instrument is signed by the CDR. The promotion instrument will be filed in the AMHRR. g. Soldiers promoted prior to or after the automatic promotion date require a DA Form 4187 and submission of a GRCH transaction to be promoted (RA and USAR only). (1) DA Form 4187 is prepared prior to the Soldier’s eligibility date to ensure entitlements are received on time. (2) Effective date and DOR are the same unless stated otherwise in this regulation. For Soldiers promoted late, procedures in paragraph 1–13 will be used. (3) A HR specialist or the unit CDR signs each DA Form 4187 executing promotions to PV2, PFC, and SPC. h. Specific exceptions to the eligibility criteria are as follows: (1) Promotions authorized by enlistment contract under the provisions of AR 601–210 of the ACASP and Stripes for Education Program and comparable ARNG programs in the accession options criteria for initial military training Soldiers. (2) Soldiers holding or training for PMOS in career management field (CMF) 18 or ranger school graduates with at least 12 months TIS may be promoted to SPC without regard to TIS and TIG waiver ceilings provided otherwise qualified in accordance with paragraph 1–10. (3) Training promotions may be made as follows: (a) Upon completion of BCT or the BCT portion of one station unit training, CDRs may promote up to 10 percent of each company’s assigned PV1s to PV2 and PV2s to PFC without regard to the TIS and TIG requirements. (b) Upon completion of advanced individual training or the MOS producing phase of one station unit training, CDRs may promote up to 10 percent of each company’s assigned PV1s to PV2 and PV2s to PFC without regard to the TIS and TIG requirements. (4) Waivers for TIS and TIG: (a) Promotion to PV2 may be waived at 4 months TIS. (b) Promotions to PFC may be waived at 6 months TIS and 2 months TIG. (c) Promotions to SPC may be waived at 18 months TIS and 3 months TIG. (d) Any Soldier previously reduced must be fully qualified (without waiver) for promotion to the next higher rank. i. Disposition of DA Form 4187. (1) Each DA Form 4187 will be annotated by name on unit transmittal memorandum (UTM) and forwarded to the HR specialist by UTM with the unit advancement report. (2) A copy in the BN HR files will be filed along with a copy of the unit advancement report. (3) A copy will be filed in the local file and/or in the Soldiers AMHRR and, as applicable, with the AG. (4) Upon promotion to SGT, all copies of DA Form 4187 pertaining to promotion to the Soldier will be returned and a copy of the promotion order will be forwarded to the AMHRR.

The AAA-117 is the official promotion instrument for decentralized promotions for the AA. The report is generated by the BN HR on the 2nd to 5th working day of the month prior to the promotion month within eMILPO. h. The BN HR is responsible for making necessary corrections, computing the waiver allocations, and forwarding the report to the unit CDR within 1 working day. i. The unit CDR is responsible for selecting eligible Soldiers for promotion by annotating on the AAA-117 if the promotion is approved/denied. NOTE: The official promotion instrument for the USAR is the Enlisted Promotion Application; the ARNG uses the DA Form 4187. AR , Para 2-3, Table 2-1

SHOW SLIDE 11: PROMOTION REPORT – UIC SELECTION NOTE: Have students login to eMILPO and follow along as you go through the slides. Students will go into eMILPO several times during this lesson to gain more experience using this system. j. The following instructions are provided to assist you in logging into EMILPO to generate an AAA-117. Issue all of your students an eMILPO training database username and password. The user name will be c??.s?? The first pair of question marks represents the classroom that you are using, for example (c71 or c22). The second pair of question marks represents the student’s number, for example (s13 or s44). The user name for student 10 in classroom 25 will look like this: c25.s10). The password will be 0p-lim-e for all users. NOTE: The first character is a number and not a letter. When the students have logged on to the AHRS Web Portal Main Menu, have them select “eMILPO”. You are taken to the eMILPO Main Menu. Select the Enlisted Advancement Report (AAA-117) under the Promotions category. Students have the option to select one or more UICs then click "View" to proceed. For this exercise have Students select UIC (WS_ _ _ _) Report type “PFC”. Have the students replace the first 2 dashes with the class number and the last 2 dashes with their student number + 50 (e.g. a student in class 11 with a student number of 07 would enter WS1157). The Enlisted Advancement Report (AAA-117) is the primary eMILPO report used to determine advancement eligibility of Soldiers for promotion to SPC who are assigned or attached to a unit.

Enlisted Advancement Report
SHOW SLIDE 12: ENLISTED ADVANCEMENT REPORT NOTE: Students should have the AAA-117 on their computer screen. Ensure that all students were able to create the AAA-117. k. There are 3 parts to the AAA-117, that shows which Soldiers are eligible, eligible with a waiver, or ineligible for promotion. eMILPO automatically calculates the eligibility for promotions and the number of waivers authorized and currently in use. However, the BN HR must verify the report for accuracy by manually calculating the waiver allocations. l. The CDR is required to circle yes/no for each eligible Soldier, then date and sign the AAA As mentioned before, the unit CDR is the approval authority for decentralized promotions for PV2 to SPC; and the BN CDR is the reviewing authority for promotions to SPC that require a waiver. The AAA-117 requires a signature from the unit and BN CDR. Group Discussion: Ask students what type of mistakes can be found on the AAA-117 and what type of processes that can be put into place to prevent mistakes.

When reviewing the AAA-117, the report will place Soldiers into one of three categories: Eligible, Eligible w/waiver, or Not Eligible. n. The following actions occur, once the CDR determines the status of the Soldier’s promotion next month: (1) When the Soldier is eligible for promotion and meets the TIG and TIS requirements, and the CDR circles YES; the promotion will occur automatically by TAPDB. (2) When the Soldier is eligible and the CDR circles NO; the BN HR will prepare a DA Form 4187 to deny the promotion. Next, they will submit a DA Form 268 to initiate a Flag, prior to the automatic promotion month, using the PA code to stop the promotion. The Flag must be submitted NLT 20th of the month and closed using code PE, NLT the 2nd working day the Soldier would have been promoted. Additionally, the Soldier must be counseled by their first line leader using DA Form The DA Form 4187 and the DA Form 4856 must be attached to the AAA-117. (3) When the Soldier is eligible to be promoted with a waiver, and the CDR circles YES; the BN HR will prepare a DA Form 4187 and submit a GRCH transaction to initiate the promotion. In contrast, if the CDR circles NO, then there is no action required. (4) When the Soldier was ineligible for automatic promotion (Flagged, barred from reenlistment) previously, and the CDR circles YES; the BN HR will prepare a DA Form 4187 to be filled in the AMHRR, and complete a GRCH transaction. The effective date and the DOR will be the date the CDR signs the DA Form In contrast, if the CDR circles NO, then there is no action required. (5) The BN HR is responsible for providing the DA Form 4187, creating and providing promotion certificates to the promotion authority for signature, and coordinating the promotion ceremony for all eligible Soldiers recommended for promotion. Not Eligible NO NO ACTION REQUIRED Provide the DA Form 4187s, promotion certificates, and coordinate promotion ceremonies for eligible recommended Soldiers. AR , Table 2-1

SHOW SLIDE 14: DENY PROMOTION-SUMMARY
o. A “Deny Promotion” transaction allows you to record the CDR’s decision to block an automatic promotion to PV2, PFC, and SPC as noted on the Unit Enlisted Advancement Report (AAA-117). If a Soldier is denied advancement on their automatic promotion date, The DA Form 4187 denying the promotion (in lieu of DA Form 268) will be used by the BN HR to initiate a Flag transaction using code PA as the initial and reason code and input the transaction into the automated system no later than the 20th of the month prior to the promotion month. This will stop an automatic promotion. The Flag must be closed using Flag code PE not later than the second working day following the date the Soldier would have been automatically promoted. Section III of the DA Form 4187 should contain an "x" in the "other" block and "Advancement Denied" should be entered after the word "specify". The DA Form 4187 and the developmental counseling must be attached to the AAA-117. NOTE: Refer Students to the eMILPO training database to initiate a “Deny Promotion” transaction. Assume the CDR has denied advancement by signing a DA Form 4187 and the Flag transaction is already processed. Now, have the students initiate the Deny Promotion transaction within the eMILPO database. Have the students use today’s date as the effective date of the transaction. Verify that all students are able to process the transaction. Select “Deny Promotion” from the eMILPO main menu under the Promotions category. Enter the SSN Enter the SSN (9_ _2445_ _) as the Search Criteria. Use “ADD” to add criteria then click “Search”. Select the Soldier by clicking on the corresponding checkbox in the Select/Deselect column. Click “OK” to proceed. THIS SSN WILL NOT WORK UNTIL THIS UIC’S DATES ARE ROLLED BACK BY HR. NOTE: When locating a Soldier within the eMILPO Training Database, the students will use the SSN search criteria. When using the SSN search, use the following formula: (9_ _-XX-XX_ _). Character one is always a “9” Characters two and three (shown as “_ _”) are the class number Characters four through seven are the same as the database Soldier’s SSN characters four through seven. Characters eight and nine (shown as “_ _”) are the student’s number. See example below. Example: (06 is the class number) (01 is the student number) Use today’s date as the effective date of transaction (YYYYMMDD). The student will view Flag code PA and click “Save” to save the transaction. NOTE: The system defaults the Reason Code and Reason Type values for the Soldier. You may not edit these data fields.

Determine Eligibility to SPC
Given a PFC with: BASD: DOR to PFC: When is he fully eligible for promotion to SPC? TIS TIG BASD (DOR to PFC) 2 When is he first eligible with a waiver? BASD (DOR to PFC) SHOW SLIDE 16: DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY TO SPC NOTE: Transition from eMILPO to performing eligibility and waiver calculations. Ask students to raise their hands if they have previous experience performing eligibility calculations. If you have students who have experience, ask them to share the job/position that required them to perform these calculations and if they are willing to assist other students who find performing calculations difficult. NOTE: Calculation slides have transition to allow you to discuss the problem without revealing the answer. q. The TIS and TIG calculations are used to determine the eligibility for all decentralized promotions. Remember that the TIS is calculated using the BASD and the TIG is calculated using the TIG. r. The eligibility date determines when a Soldier can be promoted automatically and eligible to receive a waiver to be promoted early. Waiver allocations only apply to RA only. There are no waiver allocations for USAR or ARNG/ARNGUS. s. Promotions with waivers ALWAYS occur on the 1st of the next month. Example: If the calculation shows that a Soldier can be promoted with a waiver on 12 Feb, the promotion will occur on 1 Mar.

Waiver Allocations Promotion to PV2/PFC Promotion to SPC
Calculated by company Based on assigned strength PV2: < 20% of total assigned PV2 Soldiers PFC: < 20% of total assigned PFC Soldiers Promotion to SPC Consolidated & calculated at BN level Use current authorized CPL & SPC positions Waiver % published monthly by HRC Current SPC waiver ceiling percentage is 25% Promotions by waiver effective on first of month SHOW SLIDE 17: WAIVER ALLOCATIONS NOTE: Pass out handout #3 to students and inform them that it can be used during your exam because it explains how to calculate the number of waivers available per unit. t. The Battalion HR calculates PV2 and PFC waiver allocations by company. The total assigned cannot exceed 20% of the assigned strength of the company. u. The Battalion HR consolidates and calculates the authorized strength of the CPL/ SPC within the Battalion to determine the waiver allocations. The waiver allocations are established by HQDA.

SHOW SLIDE 22: EARLY / LATE PROMOTIONS NOTE: - HR Professionals affect Soldier pay every time they submit a grade change transaction. In IPPS-A, grade change transactions will directly update the Soldier’s pay account. No longer will the transaction process through eMILPO to the top of the system to be forwarded to DJMS. This means that the HR community must get the transaction right the first time and include all Key Supporting Documents (KSD). aa. All promotions that occur before or after an automatic promotion date (waiver, demotion, late promotion, previously Flagged) requires a DA Form 4187 and a GRCH transaction in eMILPO. The DA Form 4187 is maintained in the BNHR files with the AAA-117. Additionally, a copy is maintained in the local file/and or in the Soldier’s AMHRR. Lateral appointments from SPC to CPL also requires a DA Form 4187 signed by the BN CDR and a GRCH transaction. A lateral appointment occurs when a SPC is working in a SGT position in their MOS. More information is available in Para 7-11b-c. Processing enlisted promotions to PV2, PFC and SPC (after flag is remove) CDRs must authenticate a promotion instrument (DA Form 4187) to promote Soldiers who were otherwise ineligible (for example, Flagged or barred from reenlistment) at the required time for automatic promotion. This promotion requires a grade change (GRCH) transaction. The effective date and DOR will correlate with the date the promotion instrument is signed by the CDR. The promotion instrument will be filed in the AMHRR. AR , Para 2-3i

More detailed information will be given in this lesson. a. The final system we will cover is the Centralized Promotion System. This system covers promotions to Sergeant First Class (SFC), Master Sergeant (MSG), and Sergeant Major (SGM). This system is designed to help fill authorized enlisted vacancies in the NCO ranks with the best qualified Soldiers who have demonstrated the potential to serve in the next higher rank. This is an important system to know because, as BN S1s, you will be responsible for ensuring Soldiers are notified of their promotion eligibility and upcoming boards. Additionally, assisting them to review and/or update their AMHRR. NOTE: Ask students “Who is the promotion authority for this promotion system?”.

Centralized Promotions
The Army announce convene dates as needed for SFC, MSG, and SGM Selections for USASMC require post-board screening Local CDRS retain reduction authority HRC approves and announce the board results and release promotions monthly SHOW SLIDE 41: CENTRALIZED PROMOTIONS c. The Army announces convene dates as needed for each grade and MOS. Criteria for primary and secondary zones of consideration for each grade will be announced via MILPER messages (for AA and USAR). The CG, HRC is the promotion authority. In support of the select-train-promote methodology, the promotion list includes Soldiers who are selected to attend the USASMC. This will prepare them for their promotion to SGM. When Soldiers are selected, they are required to participate in a post-board personnel suitability screening. This process involves a screening into the restricted section of their AMHRR, substantiated DA IG reports, and reports filed with the U.S. Army Crime Records Center. Individuals are notified of derogatory information and will be permanently ineligible for further considerations for promotion and course attendance if found unsuitable. e. Although Soldiers are selected and promoted by HQDA, the local CDRs still retain the authority to reduce Soldiers within this system for inefficiency or conviction by a civil court. HRC approves and announces board results. Individual promotions are announced monthly. USAR – TPU/IRR/IMA): CDR of a GOCOM, ARE, or multi-component unit authorized a general officer is the promotion authority for Soldiers assigned to units of his or her command.

Additional Promotion Guidelines
Counseling for Non-Recommendation Promotion of Critically Ill Soldiers Posthumous Promotions Missing, Detained, or Captured Soldiers SHOW SLIDE 45: ADDITIONAL PROMOTION GUIDELINES n. There are four additional promotion guidelines that can occur in all three promotion systems. They will be discussed in detailed in the following four slides.

Centralized Promotion Delays-Due to Flags
Disciplinary Action Taken or Unfavorable resolution: The date following the Flag removal Other resolution (APFT, Weight, ASAP): Favorable resolution: The date Soldier would have previously been promoted Effective date and DOR are based on resolution SHOW SLIDE 46: PROMOTION DELAYS cc. When there is a delay in a Soldier’s promotion because of an imposed Flag, the Soldier’s promotion effective date and DOR are determined based on the resolution of the final DA Form 268. (1) If the Flag is lifted, and the case is closed favorably, and the individual was eligible for promotion while the Flag was in effect; the effective date of promotion and the DOR is the date the Soldier would have previously been promoted. (2) If the Soldier’s final report was closed, the commander imposed disciplinary actions, and the individual was eligible for promotion while the Flag was in effect; the effective date of promotion and the DOR is the day following the Flag removal. Soldier’s removed from the recommended list will not be promoted according to this rule. (3) If the Soldier’s final report is closed with “Other”, (applies to the Army Body Composition Program, the APFT, and the ASAP) and the individual was eligible for promotion while the Flag was in effect; the effective date of promotion and the DOR is the day following the Flag removal. dd. All delayed promotions will require a DA Form 4187 and a GRCH transaction. AR , Para 1-11

Counseling for Non-Recommendation
First-line leaders must counsel Soldiers who are eligible for promotion to PV2 through SSG without a waiver: When Soldier initially becomes eligible At least every 3 months thereafter Counseling must be in writing and must explain why the Soldier is not recommended and ways to correct deficiencies Not required to counsel Soldiers non-recommended to SFC thru SGM SHOW SLIDE 47: COUNSELING FOR NON-RECOMMENDATION o. First-line leaders must counsel Soldiers in writing, who are fully eligible (without a waiver) but are not recommended for promotion (or board appearance) to PV2 through SSG. The counseling must be conducted the month the Soldier is initially denied promotion and at least every 3 months thereafter. The counseling should include information that identifies and correct deficiencies, as well as identifies the qualities that exist that reflect a lack of promotion potential. p. There are no requirements to counsel Soldiers who are not recommended for promotion to SFC through SGM.
