Promotion Points Worksheet Zeroed Out?

Question

I have a handful of Soldiers that have zeroes in all categories of their PPW. All of their information is logged in their IPPS-A profile, but nothing reflects on their PPW.

Is this only resolvable though CRM ticket?

Can someone show me how to correctly route the CRM ticket?

 

Answer 1

SPC/CPL/SGT's are the only ones that will get PPW points, when they're eligible for promotion (so not right after promotion to SGT for instance). SSG's and above will not have a PPW.

What would be the point of SSGs and above having a PPW.

 

Answer 2

In IPPS-A, what we are seeing are generated promotion points for SPC/CPL/SGT.

While this is the case, the IPPS-A User Manual states that E1 through E5 can review and validate their promotion points. (See image below)

I think it would be more accurate if the IPPS-A User Manual were to state, "E4 - E5" rather than "E1 - E5".

I've heard that the E1 - E3 population can review their points/PPW's. If true, I think this is good functionality for them to be future planning for cutoffs and boards and such.

 

Answer 3

We are catching now, 2 for today, of our Soldiers making the promotion list and when we check the PPW their points have jumped 200+

I'm a bit confused by this. If I recall correctly (I really am not wanting to go reg diving right now), their points would only update if their profile was updated. For a jump of 200+ points, we're looking at maybe civilian education, BLC or ALC completion (for SGT and SSG respectively), some really high marks on military training, years of awards being updated, or some mix of all of these. I'd be really interested in seeing a before and after PPW. My best guess would be the soldier noticed items missing from their profile and got their admin to update it. It's amazing how many points you can get with a properly updated record.
