no, my points are still at 798 LOL i have 436, so i've got to do some correspondence courses to get my points higher. they should drop soon. I'm going to PLDC in January though.
that's almost as bad as 98G was when I was in, points for E5 were in the upper 900s. people would take courses on railheading, rock-crushing, or ANYTHING just for points.
personally, I think they should have detailed MOS-specific tests so that there is more possibility to excel, and give people points that way.
