Hello, I am looking into going to the board and am wondering what the eligibility is for a promotion board. I am currently completing DLC-1 and want to get ahead of the curve, Are there any TIS TIG requirements?

AR 600-8-19* has the answers.

The time requirements for an appearance before the promotion board for SGT is:
Secondary zone: 17 months TIS, 5 months TIG (for those rising stars - CDR recommendation only)
Primary zone: 35 months TIS, 11 months TIG (everyone else)
Mandatory list integration: 47 months TIS, 23 months TIG (if you haven't been promoted and still remain eligible by this point, then HQDA integrates you into the promotion list automatically)

Eligibility for promotion boards can vary quite a bit depending on your branch, rank you're going for, and sometimes even your specific unit's local policies. Generally, yes, there are TIS/TIG requirements, and they'll be outlined in your service's promotion regulations.
