SPC Private RallyPoint Member8338373<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Over a month and a half ago I attend the promotion board to become a specialist promotable and was the only person to attend. I passed and still have not received or had my board proceedings signed. I need the proceedings for I am currently pregnant and need them for my temp promotion. I have made points twice but can’t do anything without these documents because I’m not even in the system as promotable yet. I’ve gone through my chain of command on this issue, my 1SGT has gone and asked about them and I make weekly visits to S1 about this issue. A simple signature is putting my career progression at a standstill. I understand that I can back date my promotion status and submit the documents proving I made points but I can’t do anything until I have the proceedings. What’s the next step I should take to get these signed or does anyone have any suggestions?What steps should I take if my CSM won’t sign my board proceedings?2023-06-22T21:29:08-04:00SPC Private RallyPoint Member8338373<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Over a month and a half ago I attend the promotion board to become a specialist promotable and was the only person to attend.

If you have met all requirements for your appropriate zone and passed the board the CSM will sign it and the Bn Cdr. will approve and sign as the promotion authority. If you feel there is sone delay that will impact you professionally then see your 1SG, who should know exactly what is going on. <br /><br />This is truly simple, no one is out to get you or you would not have passed the board. <br /><br />If your 1SG appears reluctant ask for an office call with the CSM.Response by CSM Darieus ZaGara made Jun 23 at 2023 6:51 AM2023-06-23T06:51:23-04:002023-06-23T06:51:23-04:00COL Dan Ruder8345422<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I also agree with CSM ZaGara. Connect with your chain of command so you have all the details from their perspective or just uncover that maybe there was an oversight somewhere. That would be your next step. Your last step, if your issue seems unresolved after exhausting the chain of command approach, is to pose your "question" to your Inspector General's office.Response by COL Dan Ruder made Jun 27 at 2023 4:12 PM2023-06-27T16:12:40-04:002023-06-27T16:12:40-04:00CSM Vern Pratt8345637<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Well last I knew there has never been a need for a promotion board to specialist E4. Promotions from E1 private through E4 specialist are Time in Service promotions. Typically a Soldier is eligible for promotion to E4 after 24 months of honorable service.Response by CSM Vern Pratt made Jun 27 at 2023 6:28 PM2023-06-27T18:28:01-04:002023-06-27T18:28:01-04:00CSM Scott Campbell8521484<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Speak to your First Line Leader in regards to this. Your CSM is not the one to deal with this it is the Promotion Board Recorder’s job. Make them do their jobResponse by CSM Scott Campbell made Oct 20 at 2023 12:46 PM2023-10-20T12:46:39-04:002023-10-20T12:46:39-04:002023-06-22T21:29:08-04:00
