However, unless you transfer to the Inactive Ready Reserve, Reserve or National Guard, you will not be able to accept your promotion.

Receiving and acceptins promotion to CPT means your ETS is no longer 15 Jan.

Now enduring your DD214 reflects will be hit or miss. The Army likes the norm. Anything just outside of that (aka a promotion two weeks prior to ETS) can throw them through a loop. But you are entitled to the promotion, and your DD214 should reflect your CPT rank. <br /><br />Good luck!

(2-4 Army Reg 350-100)<br />”A commissioned officer who accepts a promotion does not incur an ADSO. However, an officer in the grade of lieutenant colonel or colonel must serve in that grade for not less than 3 years from the date of promotion to voluntarily retire in that grade unless waived under some other provision of law. An officer promoted to the grade of lieutenant, captain, or major must serve in that grade for not less than 6 months from the date of promotion to voluntarily retire in that grade.”<br /><br />Is the term “retiring in that grade” synonymous with separating? Also does anyone know who the contact person usually is in these situations? Would it be my branch manager for example? 1LT Private RallyPoint Member Thu, 21 Nov 2019 18:39:20 -0500 2019-11-21T18:39:20-05:00 2019-11-19T19:41:58-05:00
