How to calculate tig tis for promotion prior service?

8 years prior service ng 7 months ets'ed currently reenlisting AD. 3 years tis as e5.
My recruiter is telling to expect to be authorized to reenlist as e4. I'm trying to figure out how fast I'll be able to make e5 again. If I come back in as e4 will that set a new tig date?

I just went AD after serving in the NG, and time in service will be calculated based off of your federal time (title 10.. basic/AIT/deployments) and then your TIG while be adjusted by unit. Your pay however will keep how many years you have all together. We have 2 E5’s that came over from NG who kept their rank.

Also, from what I was told, you’ll lose your E5 coming back in if you were out for more than 3years.

The rules for enlisted time in grade are found in AR 600-20 Army Command Policy under enlisted date of rank.

See AR 600-8-19.
I ETSd AD once as a SSG. Was SSG in USAR for a couple of years. Reenlisted as SGT (no, would not let me reenlist as SSG, but your case may vary, just be prepared).
My DOR was adjusted to my former DOR as SGT, and adjusted forward. Only the active reserve time (about 2 weeks) counted.
For explanation here is a basic breakdown of how mine was calculated. Dates and times are for ease of explanation.
DOR for SGT (AD) was 1 JAN 2000.
ETS AD 1 JAN 2005, as SSG, immediately joined USAR, had 2 weeks active reserve (AT).
Reenlisted AD 1 JAN 2007 with DOR for SGT adjusted to 18 DEC 2001.
Regulation may have changed, which is why you should always verify it for yourself, rather than go by another's word.

You keep all your Time in Service, Active and Reserve, but your Time in Grade will reset to your new date of enlistment. Last time I checked, 8 months TIG with 4 months eligible for waiver, assuming that you have all the educational things done and no flags.

Actually I'm in the same situation however I already went active duty with a dd form 368. So I should be a specialist however they can't figure out if my time counts
