So it depends on when you get promoted. Normally when you are promotable and your receive assignment instructions, it’s usually in your promotion grade. I highly recommend you call your branch manager to inquire about it, doing this may help you to get a new assignment as an E5 to the same location. Good luck to you....

Promotion of Soldiers to MSG and below will not be the sole reason for a PCS. However, Soldiers selected for promotion will be considered for assignments in their promotable grade.<br /><br />So if you reenlisted for the assignment or came down on assignment instructions while promotable they projected you for your promotable grade (assuming e5 in this case). If you attained the promotable/promotion after than you should see your career counselor or call your branch manager.

If you were promotable when you replace on assignment, then you were placed onto an E-5 slot<br /> If you requested the assignment through reenlistment, and you were a non promotable E4 at the time you requested it, HRC will attempt to put you into an E-5 slot at the same post.

The unit I went to had me slotted for Brigade PSD when I arrived since they didn&#39;t need any sergeants I was re-assigned to another battalion within that brigade. It is very easy for a unit to adjust fire but it never hurts to ask your branch manager.
