Which EAR component indicates a soldier is not eligible to promote?

• A. Not Eligible to Promote
• B. Eligible to Promote with Waiver
• C. Eligible to Promote
• D. Ready to Promote

Answer: (A)

The question tests how promotion eligibility is communicated in the EAR system. The component that literally says “Not Eligible to Promote” is the one that indicates a soldier cannot be promoted at this time. It signals an ineligibility due to unmet requirements or outstanding issues that must be resolved before any promotion action can proceed. The other statuses convey different levels of eligibility: “Eligible to Promote” means the soldier meets the basic criteria; “Ready to Promote” implies all prerequisites are cleared and promotion can occur when the process allows; “Eligible to Promote with Waiver” indicates a standard requirement is waived with approval.
