Do all Officers at the ranks of WO1 and 2LT get promoted at the same time when on the same scroll?

I am in the Army National Guard and awaiting promotion to 1LT. My FEDREC status shows 102 days in the approval process with NGB. However, I work with a WO1 who is on the same list as I am and just received promotion orders in iperms this morning. Is it reasonable to expect that my promotion will publish soon as well? Or is there some difference in the process between WO's and LT's? Thank you.

COL Randall C. LTC Trent Klug I remember the list and I have my Promotion Paperwork, but I forget. Maybe these Officers recall the procedure?

If you're both on the same FEDREC Scroll, and he just received his promotion orders, then you should expect yours in the near future.

Unlike promotion lists from a centralized board, FEDREC scrolls can, and usually do, contain multiple different commissioned ranks. The list is approved en masse by the approval authority (SECDEF or POTUS, depending on the rank).

If there was an issue with your promotion (hypothetically), then the entire list would be delayed (usually momentarily) until a decision is made to proceed or to remove your name from the list. If that had happened, then you would (should?) have been notified that you were removed.

Have you completed BOLC yet? Long story short, we have 1LT in our unit that recently received his promotion and we found out that's what was holding his promotion up. Once he completed BOLC, he get promoted within a month of getting back.
