What are the best ways to get promoted to E-5, even though your promotion points are at 798 and you have not been deployed?

Special MOS Alignment Promotion Program (SMAPP)
The SMAPP identifies specific critical skill MOS that Soldiers may reclassify into and receive a promotion upon graduation from MOS training.

SGM Matthew Quick I agree; although, reclass is only possible, if it is in the best interest of the Service. I hope you agree SGM.

There is no best way. There is an only way which would be that you need to max everything.

SGM Steve Wettstein; does max everything include a must in deployment or can promotion be achieved without it?

Well said. However, is deployment a must for promotions these days?

CPT Gurinder (Gene) Rana - I'm pretty sure that they took out deployment points, but don't quote me on that.

The best way to get promoted to E-5 (or any grade for that matter) is to be the BEST E-4 you can be and not worry about it. It will happen when He's ready for it - which might be a different time scale than what you want. :-)

Hi PO2 (Join to see)
With at least 200 billion galaxies out there (and possibly even more), we're very likely talking about a Universe filled with around 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 planets in our observable Universe.
So do I still think that my God is interested in the details of my life? Yes - He *IS* that big. :-)

CMSgt Mark Schubert; I totally agree with your advice and would like to add that in most such cases promotion comes rather quick, even ahead of peers at times.

SGM Matthew Quick kindly advice as to why deployment is required under Army Centralized Promotion Management; is deployment used as a discriminator by boards?
