What is the wait limit for promotion from PFC to SPC?

So I came from the army reserves a month ago. I have time in service requirement. My date of rank for PFC was 20180215. My question is when will I likely see SPC. I am also curious how transferring to active duty do I get credit for time in service and grade for the time I was in the reserves?

You are getting paid (getting credit) for the number of years you were in the Guard/Reserves. As your Date of Rank was recalculated to what you have now, you will have to meet the TIG (24 months) requirements to advance to SPC unless you get a waiver for early advancement.

So my date of rank was 20180215. Now correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it 6 months TIG without a waiver?

It's 1 year TIG, not 6 months. You can find it in AR 600-8-19. As for your DOR, you came from the USAR so you will keep your current DOR. You can find that in AR 600-20 Army Command Policy under the section called enlisted date of rank. Often the DOR gets reset to the day you joined the AD. That can be corrected at your S1 as long as your DIEMS is correct.
