Since I made the E-5 list, can I wear the rank if I have my promotion orders and it’s on my SRB, or do I have to wait because of IPPS-A?

This a question for senior NCOS so I made the list for E-5 and was supposed to be promoted on the first I know it was a 4 day and all but my leadership is saying I have to wait until the 9th because of IPPS-A being launched but I have my promotion orders and it’s on my SRB can I wear the rank? Or no?

Can you wear the rank? Yes you can. However, I caution you to wait until the unit can hold a promotion formation for you. Commanders and 1SGs are kind of big on that thing. To put some food for thought on this, I just got my orders for MSG with a DOR of 1 Dec 22. I'll continue to wear SFC until this Friday when the Commander can pin me.

If I were you I would wait. It won't change your date of rank or your pay. However, pinning it on after having been told (ordered, really) to wait is a very bad idea.
What's the payoff versus the cost in the long run?
It's your choice but I know what I'd do.

You’ve already been told to wait. Putting it on early isn’t worth the drama you are flirting with
