I'm considering switching to the National Guard but I was told that promotion in the Guard comes slow. Any truth to this?

In my area, it seems people stay put more often in the guard so there is less movement and less opportunity for a slot to open up for promotion. In the reserves most just take the promotion to another unit that has an open slot and stay the required time. I know I was a 92L made the SFC list for promotion and unfortunately there are very few E-7 Lima slots. I just got back from a tour in Afghanistan and my unit had the only slot within 300 miles but was deploying in 3 months so HQ promoted me down the hall as a 92F, I decided to retire than stay the required time in a unit I did not like.
