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. 1LT Private RallyPoint Member Thu, 19 Oct 2017 11:49:23 -0400 2017-10-19T11:49:23-04:00 Response by CPT Private RallyPoint Member made Oct 19 at 2017 2:24 PM https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/i-m-in-the-guard-and-have-been-waiting-over-a-year-for-fedrecs-for-1st-lt-does-my-wait-time-count-for-time-in-grade-for-captain?n=3014106&urlhash=3014106 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Your DOR will be what&#39;s on your FEDREC. 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? LTC Private RallyPoint Member Thu, 19 Oct 2017 20:03:22 -0400 2017-10-19T20:03:22-04:00 2017-10-19T11:42:07-04:00
