Is an OER a requirement for promotion from 2LT to 1LT?

I’m almost at my 18 months TIG as a 2LT in the National Guard. I have about a year of unrated time I’ve served as a PL and the other 5 months was for BOLC. I’m just wondering if an OER is required in order to promote because if so, that means I’d have to wait another whole year to even get promoted at the state level. Any input would help.

This is a question you will need to bring to the National Guard. It is impossible for an active duty 2LT to go that long without an OER.

Why unrated time as a PL? Even if not MOQ you still been rated.

Also, for BOLC you get a DA 1059 so you won’t go unrated for that block of time. You really need to get with your raters on that!

Wow what a leader you are going to be
My response to you is the same as I gave enlisted NCOS If you don’t know then you have no reason to be promoted Just because you TIG shouldn’t mean you get promoted
Look it up ask questions and not on a forum everybody can see

Even if you were not MOSQ, you should have gotten an OER. Someone dropped the ball and, honestly, you should have brought this up 6-7 months ago. You should be able to get whoever your rater was for that time period to complete an OER for the period in question.

Working with the NG as an AD officer I saw many instances where things were not done correctly.
