Ok sergeants i need some help rightnow, i found out that the reason i did not get promoted for almost 1 year is that my unit fail to update info in my promotion packet, whats the best way to solve the issue?
In the pprl was never updated from wlc or blc to alc, almost every drill i ask to the s1 sargeant to upload the miles to 800 because there where at 50, and there where not units that close to my home of record address. My srb keeps resetting to blank.

If you think anyone will do anything for you, you're gonna have a bad time. Ensuring your records are updated is your responsibility. Everything on the ERB is your responsibility to ensure it is correct.
So your way forward- when possible, schedule an appt with your S1 and watch as they update your records to ensure it is getting done and accurately. If they will not let you sit then turn in the paperwork.
Anytime you turn paperwork into anyone, use a da 200. The DA 200 is a transmittal slip, it is like a hand receipt for paperwork. Give them a couple days to get the work done and check your ERB. If it's not done, go back with your transmittal slip and enquire as to the status of your records update. If they take their time, get your psg involved.
No one will help you like you. Good luck.

Open Door Policy with COC and NCOSC first, then IG. If COC can't influence the correction, IG.

SGT (Join to see) I found myself in a very similar situation. My current unit doesn’t have access to update my SRB and when the board approached, I had to find an RD (Readiness Division) to support me.
Long story short, my unit DOES have access to DTMS and HT/WT. Some how my SRB and all supporting documents were up to date but I wasn’t considered by the board. When I reached out to the board POC, he told me because my HT/WT was not up to date. I went back to my unit to figure out what happened and they showed me the DTMS system which reflected my current HT/WT data and the date of the update.
I took a screenshot, sent it up to the POC with a memo requesting a Standby Advisory Board (STAB) and my request was approved based on the evidence that, to no fault of my own, my records were not considered.
I was considered, selected and promoted by the STAB (held at the next regular promotion board) and back paid to the date of rank for the promotion of the original board date that I missed due to that administrative error.
I say that to say this, if you have records of your efforts(emails may suffice), request a STAB once you get everything updated properly.
In the future, DA 200s are a good way to keep people who handle paper work honest and have a record of transactions.
Good luck!
