What can I do about unrated time?

Was stuck a unit 5 years and picked up SGT at year 4....recieved an NCOER, and stayed 3 more months before leaving to reclass my MOS. Last unit did alot of TDYs and my leadership changed as I was leaving, long story short left with 3 months of unrated time. Tried reaching out numerous times while leaving and during the reclass but to no avail.

Any advise? How bad will this effect me in the long run?

Why didn't you receive a change of rater? How were you authorized to PCS without a change of rater?

3 months of unrated time as a SGT is not significant.

Your next NCOER will have 3 months non-rated time on it. As a newer SGT, having non-rated time is not a big deal.
