There’s no time frame from what I’ve seen. I’ve personally worked with an individual who pinned E5 and ETSed a month later

You cannot attend NCOES if you have less than 6 months time remaining. If you have been to the promotion board and NCOES, you make rank regardless as long as you have the points to do so, but that comes down from HRC. If they have NCOES and still need to attend the board, it’s up to their chain of command if they want to send them.

I was given "Acting Sgt. E-5" stripes in Nov. 1970 in Vietnam over Supply...I received it in May 1971 just 2 months before E.T.S. in July 1971.
