No, a certificate of appreciation cannot be counted as promotion points in the Army. Promotion points are earned through specific achievements and qualifications, such as completing training courses, earning awards, or demonstrating leadership abilities. Certificates of appreciation are typically given to recognize and thank individuals for their service, but they do not carry any point value towards promotions.
1 College credit equal 1.4 promotion points
To earn promotion points in the army, you can engage in various activities such as completing military training courses, gaining higher education degrees, accumulating achievement awards, participating in physical fitness events, scoring well on the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) and weapons qualification, and exhibiting leadership qualities and responsibilities. Additionally, you can earn points by volunteering, attending professional development courses, and completing correspondence courses. It is important to refer to the official Army promotion point system guidelines for specific details and point values associated with each activity.

The results of your promotion board (as well as your commander's points) will be in your promotion packet.
Time in the army isn't as important as the points required for the promotion. In 2011 a new promotion point scheme will be in effect that minimizes the commanders points and other "freebie points" from the older system.
Yes. You receive promotion points for completed correspondence courses. When I was promoted to Sergeant, points for the Infantry were particularly low, and all they really had to do was qualify with their weapon, pass their PT test, and do alright at the promotion board. Points for Combat Medics weren't so low, however, and I needed everything I could get in order to have enough points for promotion.
Yes, Rosetta Stone will be counted under Military educations. 5 training hours = 1 promotion point.
the army has too much red tape, so i can't find it anywhere.
Get a high PT test score, take the correspondence courses, attend any and all schools available to you, try to qualify expert, study for the promotion board...
