As far as I know, promotions are based on a points system. You need enough points to be granted the next rank. Volunteer to go to whatever schools open up. PLDC or whatever they call it in your unit., generator operator, bus driver, anything. Get more points.

I’m the same. At 18 months we hit SZ, 35 months PZ some companies just won’t send you to BLC or the board until you hit PZ. That’s how mine is and I’ve made points the last 3 months in a row.
