Do junior enlisted promotions in the Reserves have the same TIS and TIG requirements as active duty?

Question for anyone actively serving or retired from the reserves, do junior enlisted promotions have the same tis and tig requirements as active duty? I just hit my 24 month tis and I have around 8 months tig as Pfc and I’m ultimately curious if there’s different requirements or if I’m currently eligible for promotion based on tis and tig.

Yes, they are the same. Your commander needs to sign approval on the 4187 that will advance you to SPC. If you just hit 24 months, relax. It'll come around.

Yup, its all the same regulation for reserves and active duty. Refer to ar 600-8-19 on apd.army.mil for further guidance.

They're the same.
There is a difference in the waiver requirement regarding limits, but otherwise it's the same.
If you've hit your TIS and TIG you should be promoted soon. I wouldn't worry about it, as they will back date your promotion so you don't lose out on pay.
If it takes too long just remind your NCO chain so they can push up the 4187.

Talk to your squad leader, they should be able to get the status or at least an answer. Sometimes the actual promotion lags behind.

Unless you have a platoon leader that has it in for you! My LT had already put in for my promotion to E-4. But my next LT was from my home town and we had never got along. He called me into his office his first day tore up my my paper work and informed me I would never get another promotion as long as he was my platoon leader! And I never did. I tried transferring he blocked it. Went to the company commander did no good! I recently heard he is now out and back in our home town! I am sure looking forward to reconnecting with him!
