Is double dipping promotion point against the regulations for service members after viewed in a audit , I have a soldier trying to get promoted and he is going to try to use this as a way to get promoted. In 2009 I remember older NCOs using this tact to get promoted, I was never sure it was legal or not . I advised him to be cautious

How do you double dip promotion points? You either have them or you don't. Not sure how one could count double points when the documents in the packet(s) don't support the doubling of the points.

100% against regulations. This is why they do PPW audits. If he gets caught, that’s UCMJ

So here's a question....................

When I was a 35F the local community college gave us 20 semester units for completing 35F AIT if we gave them the $50 enrolment fee. Sure, why not, so I did. Off topic, I then sent them my transcripts from another college to meet the GED requirement and the intel community college gave me an AA in Intel Operations. Basically, I just paid $50 enrollment and another $50 processing fee to be given another AA.

Now, I had a Bachelor degree when I put in a packet for SGT, so my Civilian education was maxed out regardless of how I tried to game more CIV education points.

So my question is, in the scenario where I had zero education would it be seen as promotion point double dipping to submit the 20 units from the community college who awarded me the units for merely attending AIT?
