CH (CPT) Private RallyPoint Member Mon, 16 Oct 2017 20:31:21 -0400 2017-10-16T20:31:21-04:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/where-can-i-find-the-maximum-time-in-grade-for-officers-such-as-for-below-cpt-officers-with-no-slots-to-promote-into?n=3005280&urlhash=3005280 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Since you talk in your comment about RC promotions in particular, you&#39;ll probably want to look at AR135-155, which has a table specifically listing minimum &amp; maximum TIGs and other requirements (Tables 2-1, 2-2, &amp; 2-3). That covers the initial question, but the comment also mentioned auto-promotion without a vacancy. You&#39;ll want to check with your branch personnel at HRC to be 100% sure, but my understanding was that, once selected by a board, if you didn&#39;t find a vacancy, you&#39;d be auto-promoted on the day prior to the next anniversary of your previous date of rank, and would then be given 6 additional months to find a vacancy. If still unable, you get involuntarily transferred to the IRR. (If you are already IRR, then it&#39;s always the day before your next DoR anniversary.) I&#39;m sorry that I don&#39;t have a reg to point to for that part, hence the suggestion to confirm with HRC.

While command slots can be tight if you aren&#39;t in an Infantry, Armor or Engineer Unit, there are generally lots of staff slots where they can park you as an O3 until a command slot opens up. Have you talked to personnel people at your state headquarters yet? An S1-S4 are not Branch specific.
