How do promotions work and what's required for them?
What exactly can PFCs do to guarantee they will get the 6 month waiver and promotion as soon as...
I haven't had any leadership roles in Basic or AIT, so I don't have any promotion points currently. I'll be going to my duty station soon, and want to be sure that when slots open up to promote, I'll be at the top of my cadre's list. Also, any advice for 15R fresh out of AIT would be appreciated.
How Do Army Automatic Promotions Work?
If you have a clean record and are hard-working, promotions can be automatic, for up to 20 percent of the rank. The main requirements are time-in-service and time-in-grade. Some exceptions apply, including an early promotion, if it was stipulated in your enlistment contract.
