DA Form 3355 Promotion Point Worksheet (United States Army Reserve)

How to Complete DA Form 3355?

The DA 3355 has four parts: Section A, Section B, Section C, and Section D (the very first section contains administrative information and is untitled). The administrative data required by the form includes the name and date of birth of the service member, date of application, organization, recommended grade (promotion grade), and recommended Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) - that should be either soldier's PMOS or career progression MOS. Instructions for completing DA Form 3355 are as follows:

1. Section A is the recommendation section that evaluates the level of a soldier's military training.

   • Boxes 1a through 1c are for providing Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) scores. Enter the latest date of assessment, raw scores, and points earned;
   • Box 1a through 1d are for weapons qualification. Enter the latest qualification date, DA Form used, total hits, and points earned;
   • Box 3 is self-explanatory: enter the total of military training points earned;
   • Boxes 4 through 6 and 11 through 13 are authentication boxes for the commander and board president respectively. These boxes require their names, signatures, and the dates of signing;
   • Boxes 7, 8, and 9 are for the recommended soldier's name, signature, and date of filing;
   • Box 10 contains "Yes" and "No" boxes that signify whether or not there was a recommendation by the Promotion Board.

2. Section B ("Administrative Points") is for listing awards with order numbers and award numbers, Airborne Advantage Points (for soldiers serving in authorized Table of Organization and Equipment (TOE) or Table of Distribution and Allowances (TDA) positions with qualifying badges), all military education and civilian education, certifications, or Defense Language Proficiency Test (DLPT) results.

3. Section C is for the total computation of points. It combines all previously listed scores in military training, awards and decorations, and education and provides their total amount.

4. Section D is for authentication. The soldier must certify that the above total points shown have been accurately extracted from appropriate records and promotion list points indicated are correct.

Soldiers flagged IAW AR 600-8-2 or barred at the date when fully eligible for automatic promotion, require DA Form 4187, Personnel Action, and the submission of a Standard Installation and Division Personnel Reporting System (SIDPERS) Grade Change (GRCH) transaction to be promoted.
