S1NET Message Summary - 7 May 21
1. OML-BASED NCO PROMOTIONS. From the Army G-1: After 51 years of
promoting NCOs from an annual promotion selection list, for the very
first time the Army will select eligible NCOs for promotion from an
annual order of merit list (OML) stemming from an NCO Evaluation Board.
The OML is not a promotion list. Only NCOs who meet all of the
requirements for promotion (from that OML) are eligible and that
condensed list (in OML order) constitutes the list of who can be
promoted. For the June 2021 promotion month, the Army will use the FY21
Sergeant First Class (SFC) OML to inform which SFC meet all of the
eligibility criteria (PME, TIG, TIS, not flagged, etc.) for promotion to
Master Sergeant (MSG). The Army establishes eligibility for promotion
selection based on individual Soldiers’ qualifications as of 26 April
2021 for promotion pin-on for the June 2021 promotion month. Of course,
there must also be requirements (shortages) in an MOS too. NCOs selected
for promotion to MSG effective 1 June 2021 will be announced on/about
15 May 2021. There will be one obvious outcome that may raise questions:
Many NCOs with lower OML numbers (i.e., # 1, 2, 3 etc.) will not be
selected for promotion over others with higher OML numbers because they
are not eligible for promotion. Why will this happen? https://www.milsuite.mil/book/
a. The FY21 SFC Evaluation Board OML contains 23,386 SFC who were
established as Most Qualified (MQ)/Fully Qualified (FQ) by the board.
When eligibility criteria (as of 26 April 2021) for promotion to MSG is
applied to those names, a total of 1,886 (or 8%) are actually eligible
for promotion effective on 1 June 2021. Eligibility for promotion to MSG
includes (for example) meeting the TIS/TIG requirements, being a MLC
graduate, and being in good standing (not flagged).
b. The OML also informs selection for MLC attendance. There are
19,494 NCOs who are not graduates of MLC on that OML. The Army began to
use that OML to select SFC for MLC attendance in March 2021. Each month,
more and more of the NCOs on the OML with low sequence numbers (i.e., #
1, 2, 3 etc.) will be selected for MLC training seats and each month,
as they graduate, they will become eligible for promotion selection.
This evolution and transition from one set of procedures to a new one is
unavoidable and in time, as merit-based OML training opportunities are
realized, merit-based OML promotions will be realized. It simply takes
time to see the effects of change.
c. TAKEAWAYS:
1) Be patient as the Army transitions
2) Be aware of promotion requirements by looking at the quarterly promotion projections at https://www.hrc.army.mil/conte

blades when standing at the position of attention; and Ponytails are not
required to be tucked into the Soldier’s uniform, but should not hinder
their physical performance or increase their risk to safety. Also

APFT Exception and Ponytail Authorization
I wanted to update you on two key directives recently signed by the Acting Secretary of the Army:
1. Allow all SPC/CPLs the choice to voluntarily take an APFT to qualify for or improve their opportunity for promotion.
2. Authorization for women to wear ponytails in all uniforms at all times.
First, during our transition to the ACFT, we found that a small cohort of less than 5500 Specialists and Corporals do not have a record fitness test on file, and therefore, are ineligible for promotion consideration to Sergeant. This policy will allow all Specialists and Corporals across the force the choice to voluntarily take the APFT.
This allows Soldiers to continue their career advancement while we transition to the ACFT. Army Directive 2021-14 has the full policy, but in general here are the facts:
- All E-4s are authorized to take the APFT to qualify for or increase their opportunity for promotion.
- E-4s who take the APFT and fail will not face adverse administrative action.
- E-4s without a fitness test of record who choose not to take an APFT will not be penalized; however, they will remain ineligible for promotion consideration and counseled on the effects of not taking the APFT.
- E-4s who are deployed or on a pregnancy/postpartum profile who do not have an APFT will be temporarily granted a minimum passing APFT score (60 points per event) and are eligible for promotion consideration.
Second, in February we expanded guidance on grooming standards after a DOD-mandated review of our policies. Through feedback from the Force resulting in a clear, consolidated policy recommendation from a group of Soldiers, the Army has reconsidered the wear of ponytails.
The specifics of this policy can be found in ALARACT 040/2021, and here are the key points:
· Women are authorized to wear ponytails in all uniforms on duty.
· Hair will be neatly and inconspicuously secured in a singular ponytail, two braids, or a singular braid and will not extend past the bottom of the shoulder blades when standing at the position of attention.
· Ponytails are not required to be tucked into the Soldier’s uniform, but should not hinder their physical performance or increase their risk to safety.
While both of these policies impact a small subset of our Army, it’s important that we all understand and enforce standards equally. I trust our Leaders to know what right looks like and ensure these changes are administered fairly.
Thanks for all that you do for our Nation and our Army.
