When you are the guy waiting on it, not soon enough. I would give it a week after the holiday, then follow up with your S1.

I've seen it take 6 weeks or 4 months. Not sure the deployment ETP for NCOPDS is still active though.

Your reference is Milper 19-332 dated 16 Oct 2019. Formerly the unit would request the ETP promotion for deployed Soldiers who lacked the required PME for promotion, however, nowadays HRC identifies those promotable Soldiers who are on deployment and HRC creates a separate (higher than the regular) cut-off score for those ETP deployed Soldiers. A by-name list should accompany it and your Brigade S1 can publish the promotion orders in accordance with the Milper ETP.

Note that the last month for this ETP for deployed Soldiers is going to be April 2020 for the time being. Because this recent Covid-19 public health crisis has created so many course cancellations there is a new ETP for promotions that will be in effect for May 2020 where the PME requirement is waived for ALL otherwise promotable Soldiers. Those Soldiers promoted without the required PME will be first in line for the next round of courses.
