I entered the Military as a E-1 and was wavered to E-2 at the end of Basic. A couple months after moving to my first PDS I was wavered to E-3. Am I eligible to receive another waiver from PFC to SPC or is there a total cap on amount of waivers I can receive . Any information would be appreciated.

As many waivers as your S1 has reams of paper.

Research as indicated by others for your own tool kit. Bottom line is that their are waivers at junior grades and different zones at senior grades, no limit within spectate grades. The only caution is not to come to expect waivers. Their are periods of service when waivers can be suspended, and the military changes processes all to often. Keep working hard meeting standards and all should go well. Thank you for your service.

Don't rush it. Sit back and enjoy being a PFC for a while. you'll make SPC, get stuck being in charge of a bunch of knuckle-headed PVTs on crappy details and still be stuck sitting around waiting for TIS to be eligible for E5 anyway and that extra $200/month for a couple of months isn't worth the extra hassle. At least that was my experience. I left basic as an E3 (due to college credits) and made E4 BTZ 4 months later, then spent 30 months as an E4 waiting on TIS before I was eligible for E5. Because I was a "hard-charger", I got put in charge of every detail that came along.

I was waivered all the way through E-4 when my time came up. Chilled in the E-4 Mafia for a while before deciding to hit the board for extra beer money.
