SPC Private RallyPoint Member 5848048 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I am a prior service Marine, my PEBD dates back to July 22nd 2013, I understand my TIS remains but my TIG does not. I’ve been in the Army since August 27th, 2018. Many of my old Marine buddies have come to the Army, some as recently as this January. They’ve been given promotion status and have already been promoted without going to the board. My unit is sending me to the board this month. I don’t mind competing, but my friends told me their command said they were given their P Status immediately because of their TIS. Why hasn’t this applied to me? My immediate command has been trying to look into this but they, and myself, keep running into dead ends. I also understand as an E4 non-promotable, I’ll be forced out next year when I hit 8 years. For the record, I know I’m a good Soldier, I don’t have anything negative in any of my paper work, so why is this happening to me? 2020-05-04T04:35:28-04:00 SPC Private RallyPoint Member 5848048

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Have you completed SSD1/DLC1 and BLC, or the equivalent NCO or Sergeants course in the USMC?

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The promotion system takes into account your BASD, not your PEBD, and your TIG. If you have not completed a DA Form 1506 to recalculate your BASD following your separation from the USMC and enlistment into the Army that might be the issue.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>What dead end did you hit when you read the promotion regulation? What qualifies you to be automatically promotable?<br /><br />Also, you&#39;re not forced out at your 8 year mark. We don&#39;t have HYT in the Army. We have RCP which is the latest date you&#39;re allowed to reenlist to. Unless you get reduced, you will serve at least to your current RCP.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>In the Army, we have what is known as MLI or Mandatory list integration which takes into account TIG/TIS and adds these individuals into the promotable field. All they need to PIN on is BLC. <br /><br />If you do not meet these requirement, which you Commander and 1SG will see on the monthly reports, then there is nothing you can do but wait.<br /><br />Also, the promotion board is not about competing, its about proving to the board members as why you are qualified or capable of being a leader.
