Can I keep my promotable status when I change my MOS?

I have been in for 7 years. My MOS is 13T (Survey/Metro). I was promotable to SSG for over 2 years but due to the new point scheme I was removed from the C-10 because I didn't add points for a year. Now, I am able to re-enlist and I want to change my MOS, but my unit has me going back to the promotion board. If I get my promotable status back can I re-class with it?

Greetings from Afghanistan!

First off, not adding points for a year is not a basis to be removed from the Promotion Standling List (PSL). It is more likely that you did not have an updated APFT dated within 1 year.

The first thing you should find out from your retention NCO if you can be in a promotable status going in to the MOS that you are applying for. If you can and you get accepted, you will keep your promotable status even though you were boarded in a different MOS.
