If so, you&#39;re technically already a 1LT awaiting recognition by the Federal government. As long as your Federal orders are dated to align with your State&#39;s, then yes - you&#39;ll already have that much TIR. If it all works out the way it looks like it will, I&#39;ll be dropping my CPT packet right after I pin 1LT.

My DOR to 1LT was what was on my FEDREC orders, NOT state orders. I am currently waiting on FEDREC for CPT, been waiting 9 months.

Don&#39;t worry about things like being promoted. Stay a 2Lt and learn from your SrNCOs.

Why only 6 years before you retire? Response by LTC Private RallyPoint Member made Oct 19 at 2017 8:03 PM 2017-10-19T20:03:22-04:00 2017-10-19T20:03:22-04:00 2017-10-19T11:42:07-04:00
