I just did an Active to Active transfer from Marine Corps to Army as a sergeant. I’ve been told that I will retain my Time-in-grade/time-in-service by some other Soldiers I’ve run into and others have said that I will not. If anyway has insight I would appreciate any guidance. Thanks!

The answer is in AR 600-20 Army command policy, under the section called enlisted time in grade.
Your time in service is federally recognized no matter what branch you're in

Your TIS counts towards pretty much any federal job. TIG you're kind of SOL on.

Find the right source! Other Soldiers unless they did the same thing aren’t going to know. Talk to the counselor that you did all the paperwork with for the Transfer. You should find the correct answer.
