But soldiers will still be promoted on the first of every month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCurrently, Army Human Resources Command is on schedule to post the junior promotion lists and cutoff scores on time for May, and the staff is working diligently to release the senior promotion lists for May by the end of this month,\u201d Bock said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In late March, the Army announced new reenlistment and promotion policies that will last until Sept. 30. Those policies include <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/news\/your-army\/2020\/04\/21\/voluntary-extensions-are-targeting-soldiers-on-their-way-out-during-the-pandemic\/\" target=\"_blank\">short-term reenlistment<\/a> opportunities, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/news\/your-army\/2020\/03\/25\/army-changes-up-promotion-boards-during-covid-19-outbreak\/\" target=\"_blank\">virtual promotion boards<\/a>, a suspension on military education requirements and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/news\/your-army\/2020\/03\/25\/army-changes-up-promotion-boards-during-covid-19-outbreak\/\" target=\"_blank\">extensions to weapons and fitness test<\/a> qualifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Travel restrictions have limited the ability of troops to travel for promotion boards, so the Army already told battalion commanders to conduct virtual personnel boards instead of in-person meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Battalion command sergeants major are also able to determine, instead of physically conducting unit promotion boards, whether a soldier should be placed onto a promotion recommendation list based on one-on-one interactions with an otherwise eligible soldier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Distance learning is also being conducted for troops in Basic Leader, Master Leader, and Sergeants Major courses, the Army previously announced. Training for the Advanced Leader Course and Senior Leader Course was halted, however, and soldiers who were supposed to attend will have to enrol at a later date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDuring this period of suspension, soldiers are eligible for promotion to the rank of SSG\/E6 and SFC\/E7 without regards to PME [professional military education] completion, provided they are otherwise fully qualified,\u201d the FAQ document reads. \u201cThis temporary suspension of PME does not waive the PME requirement for promotion pin-on to SGT\/E5, Master Sergeant\/E8, or Sergeant Major\/E9. Basic Leaders Course (BLC) and Master Leaders Course (MLC) can be conducted via distance learning.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Army leaders have also suspended the plan to start shift to the new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/news\/your-army\/2020\/03\/30\/acft-rollout-suspended-until-further-notice\/\" target=_blank>Army Combat Fitness Test<\/a> as its test of record this October. All ACFT diagnostic tests, which the entire force was supposed to take before it officially rolled out in the fall, were suspended in late March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All current passing APFT scores have been extended until further notice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HRC said they&#8217;re doing their best to identify soldiers for promotion and
