If was promoted to e6 on 1 dec 2023 will be eligible in 2026 or 2027, when would i be eligible to pin? I know pinning is based on the number you get for Promotion.

Make E-7 in under 7 (time in service, not grade), and I tip my cap.

2 years minimum as an E-6 makes you eligible for the secondary zone.
