Points are points.. in some fashion, they're not too much different from collecting rewards points when you shop at a grocery store or other retail outlet which has such a program.
Points are used to determine eligibility criteria for promotion to Sergeant (E5) and Staff Sergeant (E6). The more in demand those ranks are for an MOS, the lower the required points will be, typically. Whereas an MOS which is up to strength or overstrength will have higher points requirements, making it more difficult to get promoted in that MOS, and thus, less people will be promoted.
Acquiring points can be done a number of ways. You'll be awarded points based on your last rifle marksmanship qualification scores. You'll be awarded points for college credits. You'll be awarded points for the completion of correspondence courses. You'll be awarded points for the completion of schools (e.g., Airborne school, Ranger school, Special Forces Assessment and Selection, Air Assault School, etc.) and courses (e.g., Field Sanitation, Hazmat Handler, Combat Lifesaver, etc). You'll be awarded points for acquiring special skill badges (e.g., Expert Infantry Badge, Combat Infantry Badge, Close Combat Badge, Expert Field Medic Badge, Combat Medic Badge). You'll also be awarded points based on your most recent PT score.
