I have a Specialist that just came into the Army. He was prior Marine. Does his prior service count towards TIS for primary or secondary zone for promotion to Sergeant? I am having trouble finding the answer in the regs.

Ok I'm a prior service Marine. My TIS DOES count. TIG did start over from the time I joined the Army. But you have to make sure the PS guy has all of his paperwork to take to schwaun (S1) to make sure everything is right. He is also authorized wear of any and all awards he received from the USMC. Hopefully this helps some.

I was in the same situation. A 1506 will fix his TIS, however he date of rank will be his first day of army active service. If TIS is incorrect his pay is incorrect as well because the 1506 fixed both.

The answer depends on how long the break in service is and it's found in 350-1

AR 600-8-19 covers enlisted promotions and reductions. Your best source would be an Army career counselor or recruiter.

It's not covered under AR 600-8-19. I am a Career Counselor and it's located in AR 600-20 under the section that covers enlisted time in grade.

the answer does not depend on length of break, it clearly states that from other branch to RA it is date of RA enlistment.
