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)

Did you talk to your NCO? Supervisor? PSG? 1SG? I'm just curious because any NCO can answer this for you and should have already counseled you on this in monthly counseling. Or whoever your supervisor is should be counseling you monthly and this should be part of it. If you aren't getting counseled monthly, you're being failed. If they haven't counseled you on what to do for the promotion board, you're being failed by leadership.
