What are the chances getting pinned LTC with 6 months left before MRD?

Looking at the latest Board MILPERs it's not looking like I'll make LTC before MRD. So I'm looking down the barrel of just coasting the next 10 years with CCC and Command time behind me.

I really hope you aren't serious about the coasting.

Answering my own questions. It looks like if MRD is 91+ days after the convene date I can at least submit a packet. My MRD puts me at 120+ days from an estimated LTC board.

But then.......... per the regulation............ there is a limit of BELOW the zone promotions. I don't think they would waste it on me, certainly not for LTC. So I'd need a below the zone MAJ and then hope a simple AT THE ZONE for LTC.

So I have under 3 years to buff up my CPT career to sneak in below the zone MAJ for a 2026 Board.
