When they are published, they are supposed to be backdated but that may be wishful thinking. <br />If they do backdate, you'll receive all the back-pay but that's only if you should have already been promoted. <br /><br />You should check with your ARA or S-1 and ensure your PPRL entry has your correct mileage and points.<br />If there isn't a open position with your MOS and your next grade, within your radius, you won't be promoted.<br />If you do have a decent radius, 100-300 miles, it should just be a matter of patience.Response by 2LT Private RallyPoint Member made Oct 15 at 2019 7:49 PM2019-10-15T19:49:43-04:002019-10-15T19:49:43-04:00LTC Stephen F.5131441<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Well my friend <a class="dark-link bold-link" role="profile-hover" data-qtip-container="body" data-id="139752" data-source-page-controller="question_response_contents" href="/profiles/139752-12b-combat-engineer-lynchburg-1o-richmond">SSG(P) Private RallyPoint Member</a> promotion requires both authorization [successfully meeting the requirements to be promoted] and appropriation of sufficient funds to cover the pay increase.<br />A significant factor is end-strength ceilings. In other words sufficient number of NCOs need to retire or separate to "make room" for other soldiers to be promoted into or within the NCO ranks. In times of high retention that can delay promotions. <br />The key factor in a promotion is the effective date which can be before you are actually promoted [but never after you are promoted.] <br />You may well be entitled to back pay if the effective date is months before your actual promotion.<br />Any corrections to my post?
