When individuals are rendered ineligible for promotion, what happens to their testing status?

When individuals are rendered ineligible for promotion, their testing status indicates that they cannot be considered if they have already tested, and any projected promotion associated with that testing will be canceled. This reflects the process within military promotion systems where eligibility criteria must be met for candidates to be considered for promotion. If an individual’s status changes to ineligible, it directly affects their ability to advance, thereby ensuring that only those who meet the necessary requirements are considered for promotion.

This option accurately captures the severity of being rendered ineligible, which means not only are past testing efforts invalidated, but the anticipated advancement tied to those efforts is also revoked. Understanding this helps those involved in the promotion process to recognize the importance of maintaining eligibility status and being aware of the implications of any changes to that status.
