Will doing an interstate transfer while in the process of getting promoted delay my promotion? Anyone in scroll L03-17?

From what I’ve been hearing about ISTs, they take a while to go through as well, so your scroll might be published before your transfer is processed. I have a few friends now that have been waiting on their transfers for more than 30 days, and L03 shouldn’t be that far behind. I was on L02 and my scroll published two weeks ago.

Take the promotion then IST. Talk to both states so they are tracking. The receiving state will need to complete an LOA which includes the rank associated with the position you will be going to. IST's for officers do take a while. Enlisted can take half a day with good communication. Officers can take weeks to months. That depends on how much work the officers are willing to put in to help themselves.

Just split train in the new unit, while the old unit pays you.
