12. Promotion Point Reevaluation  SM can turn in points at any time. However, they must be turning in a minimum of 20 new points or else the PSB will not add any of the points.  Exception: If you have a minimum of 781 points, then you can add any amount of new points.

14. Promotable w/o Boarding  A SPC will be given the promotable status automatically when they reach 46 months TIS and 10 months TIG, their points become effective 60 days later.  The SM can not add points to that w/o going to a promotion board.  This process can be stopped if started early enough.
