A Battalion submitted the memo of the TPU Junior Enlisted Board proceedings to SGT and SSG with the list of soldiers considered for Promotion.
If a name from that list is not published in the Jr PPRL-Promotable, it should appear in the Jr PPRL-Non Promotable? What if a name is not in those lists? Could that soldier lose the chance to be promoted? How long could this take to be fixed?
In my opinion, this could cause a delay in well deserved promotions.
For example, 4 soldiers (A-550pts, B-420pts, C-360 & D-301)were recommended for SGT and there is only 3 positions available in the unit. Soldier's A name is missing in both PPRL(Promotable & Non Promotable) lists and soldiers B, C & D are in PPRL-Promotable. So, the soldiers filling the 3 available positions would be B, C & D. That means Soldier A could lose the chance to be promoted due to a mistake when he should be the first on the list. (Assuming his promotion packet is 100% correct).
I really appreciate your responses. Please, I do not want the "you are just an E4" or "seriously SPC you are too young to be SGT" responses.
Thank you,
SPC Lopez

SPC Lopez if I was Soldier A my first call would be to the IG as you stated it is unacceptable. An why should a Soldier that rightfully should be on the list miss out on a deserved promotion. This will cause a hold up in the promotions as it will start an investigation of the promotion process at the 81st RRC. An maybe that is what needs to happen to call out the misjustice. Just so you know Soldier A needs to inform the chain of command that they are going to call the IG as they should be the first line of defense for the Soldiers rights.

This seems to be an on going problem with the Army Reserves. We have to find a better way to streamline the process. Soldiers are being cheated out of time in grade, when they are not promoted in a timely fashion!

It sounds like the leadership should be getting involved. If this is a problem with the promotion section at the 81st. If they don't care then the Soldiers have no voice. But like I said if you don't get the results that you think are deserved call the IG. Just remember you do have a chain of command, but if they are not helping you get what you think or know to be right you know what to do. I also stated that HRC is having problems with there promotion section as well so it is not centered just around the TPU Reserve Soldiers. So I hope I have helped at least one Soldier in this discussion and others can take something away from it as well. Leaders please help your Soldiers as they are the next leaders of this great Military.

SPC Lopez, I think there was a problem everywhere with the PPRL's.....as one of my AGRs came to me to say that HRC errouroynsly promoted 12 42As. So I think there will be a big scrub of all the promotion list.

Thanks for your response MSG (Join to see) You are right. I don't know what's happening in HRC but this is unacceptable. Now, they are saying that soldiers omitted in October PPRL will be included in November's PPRL. That is unfair. Those soldiers will lose the chance to get promoted even that they have more points than the ones already in the list.

I know this thread has been posted for a while but I was wondering would anyone be available to tell me about my status on the July/ August PPRL list or slating report? It's like pulling teeth with my unit to find out anything . If there is a link , that would help as well.
