c. New Question: I completed a Soldier Training Course that is listed in AR 350-1, paragraph 4-14c. The duration of the course was three days long. My S1 will not submit the course into eMILPO because the transaction requires the duration to be at least one week in duration. How can I obtain promotion points for this course?
New Answer: Soldier Training Courses listed in AR 350-1, paragraph 4-14c must be submitted into eMILPO by the BN HR or MPD as 1 week or more regardless of the dates on the training certificate. Soldiers will be granted 10 promotion points upon successful completion of each course. No other military training annotated on a DA Form 87, except those listed in AR 350-1 as Soldier Training Courses, are authorized promotion points.

d. New Question: I gradated WLC/ALC, my BN HR updated my military education on my ERB. Why am I not receiving promotion points?

New Answer: In order to receive promotion points the following must be listed on your ERB under section VI – Military Education: Military Education Level (MEL) and Military Education Status (MES) codes must reflect ‘WARRIOR LDR/GRADUATE’ and ‘WARRIOR LEADER CRS’. BN HR personnel cannot update the MEL/MES codes. Refer all MEL/MES update questions to the Military Schools Branch at: usarmy.knox.hrc.mbx.epmd-ncoes-operations@mail.mil

e. New Question: I had my MEL/MES updated yesterday by the Military Schools Branch and my PPW is still not reflecting my WLC/ALC.
