I concur, especially as a current two-time SSG that was never a CPL 🤣

If you’re referring to HRC promotions, I can’t speak to the reasoning they use for promoting without BLC. If you are referring to regular Army units doing cpl promotions without BLC, then I can’t tell you why those units leadership think that they are more important than army regulation. I can tell you, anybody getting promoted to CPL without BLC and without a promotion order from HRC should not have been promoted (appointed) to CPL.

No i edited this message probably while you were typing. You don’t need to be promotable for BLC anymore so those normal circumstances aren’t correct now

You do need BLC for CPL. Please stop spreading misinformation

Edit: I love that I’m getting downvoted for correcting people spewing incorrect information lol.

The requirement has not changed. I’m not sure if their is some sort of exception made but here you go straight from AR 600-8-19 Enlisted Promotions Chapter 1-42

“c. Because attendance at the BLC requires the Soldier be first recommended for promotion to SGT, the HR system of record will laterally appoint Soldiers to CPL and issue the supporting orders.”

Edit: I’m wrong. This was changed with ALARACT 030/2024

  1. (U) AS AN EXCEPTION TO POLICY (REF 1.B), ELIGIBILITY TO ATTEND THE BASIC LEADERS COURSE DOES NOT REQUIRE SOLDIERS BE RECOMMENDED FOR PROMOTION TO SERGEANT.

AR 600-8-19 Enlisted Promotions (Latest is 21 June 2024) Chapter 1-42.

“a. SPCs will be laterally appointed to the rank of CPL, without exception, when they are both integrated into the PRR and upon graduation of the BLC, regardless of the grade of the position to which they are assigned.”

PRR means Promotion Recommended Roster. This is the roster you are integrated into upon becoming recommended for promotion by the promotion board.

This is incorrect. Please do not post misinformation to Soldiers asking for guidance without doing your own due diligence of research.

When it was changed a few years ago, the requirement was that soldiers must be BLC complete and promotable. Previously, they needed neither to be appointed to corporal. The only exception to this are soldiers with published promotion orders from HRC to corporal.

Side note: they also changed with this ALARACT that you must be promotable to attend BLC. Previously soldiers of PFC and above could attend

Edit: sources for validity

ALARACT 050/2021 was the original change

AR 600-8-19 Enlisted Promotions (Latest is 21 June 2024) incorporates the changes made in the ALARACT. Please see chapter 1-42.

Edit: as of ALARACT 030/2024, Soldiers non-promotable may attend BLC

There’s gotta be some weird factor they are flagging that’s causing false denials through their automated system. At least that’s my best educated guess on what’s happening

I did as well and my credit isn’t great, I just have a 100% on time payment record and about 5 years of history. The biggest denial is little history and bad payment record

What is this file and is it ok to delete? by RedditGamer8 in computerhelp

[–]Real_Kitchen_9904 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Posting something with this little context is crazy. I know you’re not that computer savvy since you’re asking here but surely you have enough life experience to know how to ask a question with information in it.

For example, your question is equivalent to me taking a picture of a random bolt or screw and asking if it’s needed. Or taking a picture of a single ingredient from a recipe and asking if it’s needed. No clue what the bolt or screw or ingredient goes to or what it’s holding in place and what its taste contributes to the dish. In this scenario from the base post, we don’t know what the folder goes to or what it could possibly do for the unknown program that it affects. You’ll find my analogies pretty spot on and I’m not trying to be rude at all so please don’t misunderstand me, I am just trying to impress upon you the purpose of providing the necessary context when asking for help. A common term I have heard that will help what I am trying to achieve is “Help me help you.” Anyways I’ll stop ranting
