When should i get promoted to SPC?
I’ve been in for a little over 2 years. I’m green on my Medical i have a passing pt test and no negitive counselings or Article 15’s. My last promotion to PFC was more than 6 months ago. Who should i talk to about this?

Sometimes things take longer in the USAR. Use the NCO Support Channel and ask if you can speak to the Unit Administrator about it. If you're doing all the right things, you shouldn't have any problems.

AR 600-8-19 Section II
Task: Processing Enlisted Promotions to Private E–2, Private First Class, and Specialist, page 14 Rules • 2–3, page 14 Steps • 2–4, page 15
I want to empower you to read, and research the regulation above and your answer is right there. Please ensure you speak with your First Line Leader, once you find the answer for further guidance. E1-E4 Promotions are automatic, but you also have to earn it, or your Commander can and will delay it, if you demonstrate otherwise of course you should be counseled on the reason, should this be the case, but read the regulation first.

Thank you for the reference. I will read through it and bring it to my first line leader when able.

Wow, 2 years and still E3? I am really surprised. In 1968 I started basic training on 23 Mar 1968 and by 23 Oct 1968 I was E-4. I think during the Vietnam era rank was much easier to attain. Good Luck to you.

I think it's because in Vietnam you might not have survived long enough to pick up rank if it hadn't been!

Promotions are always quicker during war time. With the current promotion system, where promotions through E4 are completely automatic, 2 years isn't unusual.
