Is a SOLE certificate worth promotion points?

2014-06-16T04:01:42-04:00

I have recently been told by my S1 that the SOLE certificate is no longer worth promotion points. Does anyone have any information on this subject?

It should have done in your correspondence hours. If you liik at the letter SOLE sent you, it tells your S-1 how many hours to enter it in at. If you look at the screenshot of my letter, look at the bottom and you can see where it mentions the hours. I was awarded the Senior level, I don't know how many hours the base award is worth.

I was aware that it was considered a technical certificate occurring to COOL. which would make it worth 10 points

VDF ALMC-DEMONSTRATED LOGISTICIAN
VDG ALMC-DEMONSTRATED SENIOR LOGISTICIAN
VDH ALMC-DEMONSTRATED MASTER LOGISTICIAN
These are the only official course codes in eMILPO and these codes are for listing under "Military Education" on the record brief. In order for a course to be listed, it must be ATRRS-approved, be in a class you are physically present in or sit in via video teleconference and must be a minimum of 40 hrs. The certificate of course completion must be signed by an O5 or GS equivalent (or higher). Additionally, the course completion document must specify the number of hours completed in the classroom environment (40, 48, 56, 80 etc...) as well as the course title, which must match the listing on the approved eMILPO list. Other forms of online courses can listed under correspondence if there is an approved eMILPO code in the registry. The codes are created by the eMILPO HelpDesk, not from the course producing entity. We (the S1) do make attempts at contacting the Army proponent for a course that has a similar name but is slightly off in title. Sometimes, course titles are amended. 9 times out of 10, the proponent informs us the class taken is not legitimate.
Sorry to rain on the parade, but I wanted to ensure we are sharing the FACTS, not rumors, conjecture, speculation or barracks lawyer BS. I always try to support the Soldier as best, and as legitimately, as I can.

1SG Private RallyPoint Member I have seen this listed on one ERB under the "technical certification" area. Nobody else seems to have it listed there??? I am assuming that it is not supposed to be listed there and that one persons S1 found some way to manually input it? Can you help me out on the correct answer? Thanks.

How long did it take you to get your cert once you mailed off your packet? I mailed mine to SOLE 2 months ago and am curious how long it take?
