SFC list is a 2-year list, but they haven't promoted anyone yet. Do they promote everyone within two years of the list coming out or by FY?

Not in my experiences as 75C, Personnel Management Specialist & NCOIC of Enlisted Promotions. I also ‘worked’ the E7 Board at Ft Ben.
Promotions have Always been based upon the NEEDS of the Army. Just because you are ‘eligible’ for promotion, does Nit mean you Will be promoted! If you are Not promoted within the time frame established by the Army; you could be discharged.
At least That is the way the Army functioned from 1983-1987.

Some MOS's blow through their lists quickly, some move at the speed of smell... It'll happen eventually.
