1.  The Airborne Promotion Advantage
(APA) is applied by MOS and grade.  The APA is applied
only to cutoff scores for those MOSs and grades as listed
below.  This authorization applies only to soldiers on
current hazardous duty orders.  Soldiers must be
airborne qualified and assigned to an authorized position
designated as SQI P, S or V.  It should be noted, the
system/module is designed to only apply the APA (65 points
for promotion to SGT and 25 points for promotion to SSG) to
soldiers with the appropriate data as reflected in TAPDB. 
Subsequently, only soldiers with the appropriate MOS, SQI,
and assigned to valid positions will be selected and be
indicated on the Monthly SGT/SSG Promotion Selection By-Name
Listing.  The APA applies to all MOSs which are
effected by conversion (i.e. cutoff score for 29V states SEE
31P and 31P is listed as an APA MOS for that grade then the
APA also applies to 29V).

2.  MOSs in which
the APA will be applied for 1 August 2009 promotions:

3.  STAR MOSs

The STAR MOS listing is
a management tool.  These are MOSs in which more
Soldiers may have been promoted on 1 August 2009 if more had
been reflected on AHRCOM's PERDB with an eligible date and
promotion point score.  Soldiers possessing a MOS
listed, as a STAR MOS, are still required to meet or exceed
an announced cutoff score. 

SGT

09L, 14S, 15J, 21C, 21D, 25Q, 25R, 35H, 35N, 63D, 94S 

SSG

NOTE: 
Soldiers holding one of the above STAR MOS’s should be given
a high priority for WLC attendance due to increased
promotion potential.
