I am currently sitting at 420, and as 42A, points do not drop below 500... Aside from ALC which I have to wait for my redeployment to complete, are there any other ways I can get my points up? I have maxed my APFT, BMQ, and correspondence courses, and am enrolled in college courses. I just can't seem to find anything else.

How many awards do you have, does your ppw reflect your deployments?

Work on college/certifications take the DLPT if you know another language and Clep any basic classes.

Make sure your college has fully evaluated your Joint Services Transcript and an ACE credit transcript.

 

.

 

Joint Services Transcript (JST):

https://jst.doded.mil/smart/signIn.do

Cost: Free
Contains a record of all your 1059-granting training.  Lists all of the courses you've taken with their suggested semester-hour value recommended by ACE.

 

 .

 

ACE Credit Transcript:

http://www2.acenet.edu/credit/?page=transcripts

Cost: $40 (one free transcript to school of your choice) + $15 for any additional ones.

This one requires a bit of work. Use this for all military training (over 40 hours) that gave you a certificate, but no 1059. 

 

 .

 

You should be able to squeeze out some promotion points with these.

And, if you've already did both of these, you have my condolences; for, alas, only time and more military training can fix your situation.
