How is it that in April my AFCS was already at 12 months yet I’m being told I have to wait 24 months. I already had to wait 3 additional months because of CAD. Is the Army really not going to count 9 months of TIG, even though it was in the reserve (5 months was TDY)?Does Reserve service time count towards TIG for promotional purposes on the active side?2018-08-05T00:19:10-04:002LT Private RallyPoint Member3853789<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Long story short, my AFCS has not been updating since at least April 2018 (12/12)and Promotions is stating that I will have to wait until my two-year mark for promotion.<br /><br />According to AR 600-8-29, I need either 18 months AFCS in my rank or the day before my 2-year mark.

I was with the Kansas Army National Guard and they did not give out any waivers, some states do however. I would speak to your S-1 or your Reserve Branch Manager to get clarification for promotion schedules/waivers:<br /><br /><a target="_blank" href="http://www.usar.army.mil/arcd/cmo/">http://www.usar.army.mil/arcd/cmo/</a><br /><br />You said you're in the Reserves but going Call to Active Duty (CAD)? Not sure how Active Duty looks at Reserve time for promotion purposes, but for retirement purposes- on the active side they only count the number of days you are on Active Orders, AT, ADOS, ADT, ADTS etc. 1 Day on Active orders = 1 Day/Retirement Point Credit. <div class="pta-link-card answers-template-image type-default">
