Question
I am SSG 21N currently deployed to Afghanistan for the fourth time. I returned from my third deployment 04APR07. I was promoted to SSG 01June07. After which I attempted to attend BNCOC. I completed Phase I of BNCOC but was unable to attend Phase II before recieving PCS orders to Alaska. I arrived to AK on 08AUG08. Alaska does not offer BNCOC for my MOS. We deployed in Feb09. I have been informed that I am to be considered for Promotion to SFC on the upcoming board in February. Is it possible for them to conditionally promote me to SFC without BNCOC.
v/r
Check on the HRC website for updated information, but I'm pretty sure they will allow it. In the past, I've had Soldiers who have had this conditional promotion happen. You just have to go back and go to BNCOC (Leonard Wood, for your MOS I think) ASAP. Try to get them to send you to both BNCOC and ANCOC at the same time to save them TDY money and get you done with your schooling.
