I've always been under the impression that upon being promoted to SPC, you are required to attend WLC along with the completion of SSD-1 to be eligible for promotion to E5, after going to the promotion board and becoming promotable. It was presented to myself and a few other E4's that we would have to be promotable before we could attend WLC. Any clarification? And how does this work for star MOS's?

No I just graduated WLC Feb 6th, and I am not promotable. WLC is open even to the PFCs if there are extra slots for them. My CSM does not even let us attend the promotion board unless we have already been to WLC and a Soldier of the Month board.

New regulation reads that PFC's can no longer attend WLC, and to attend WLC, you must have SSD1 compete. You do not need either to be promoted to E5, just E6. But most units, especially the reserves, you will usually be required you to have both. That's been my experience with two separate units. Otherwise it comes down to time in grade and service.

First of all most Star MOS's still automatically promote to SGT. But as far as having to be promotable for WLC the answer is no. There is an OML for WLC it is:
1. SGT with out WLC
2. SPC (P)
3 SPC
4 PFC
Now you must have SSD 1 completed to even be on the eligible OML.

I have been out for 19 years now. I was E-4P and went to what what we called PLDC, what is SSD 1?

For a definitive answer, ask your Training NCO for the ATARRS print out of the school prerequisites. Upon receipt, ask if your unit has any additional requirements that you must have in order to enroll.
Keep in mind, different WLC training centers have different stipulations.
