I have a deserving young troop who has been performing at an E5 position. Im PCSing soon and want to put him in for an early promotion. He hits his 18 month mark next week and would like to get this done for him. How do I set up the DA4187 to make this happen?

Just hit up your S-1, they will (should) have an example you can work up.

Before doing the 4187, you need to know if your unit has waiver allocations authorized for the month or not. the number of waiver allocations comes from a mathematical equation that considers the number of Soldiers in that grade, the number of Soldiers already on waiver and the number of slots allocated. Before darkening the S1 shop door, you need to see your PSG and 1SG and have them go over the mechanics of the waiver process with you.

This is one of those nice to have NCOPD classes.

Not managing the waivers correctly can jack up early promotions and result in units not getting waivers for months at a time while waiting for the excess Soldiers on waiver to reach non-waiver TIG/ TIS.

Thank you all for in the input, were a small 6 person detachment away from our HQ, there is an Army BN here that I will link up with to see if their S1 has a template that I could use.
