When does a soldier's TIG start after an Article 15?
UCMJ
Promotions
Also, the Soldier is not eligible for waiver for the next rank, meaning:
SPC Joe gets Article 15 on 1 Jan, reduced to PV2 (suspended).
Punishment is vacated on 12 Feb, therefore reduction is effective 1 Jan (date of Article 15)
PV2 Joe must become fully eligible (without waiver) to PFC before promoted.
Once promoted, PFC Joe may be promoted with waiver to SPC, when eligible.
SGT H, His TIG started the day of reduction, he is eligible the day his flag is lifted, but most times the Command wants the Soldier to prove s/he is trustworthy enough to be moved back up the ranks again.
I had a scenario similar to this back at Fort Sill in the mid-80s, a Soldier was reduced from SPC to PFC in August, did his punishment, had his flag lifted and was promoted back to SPC in December, that was not the norm, it just happened to be that this was a great Soldier, he just had a bad night of judgment one night, and continued to perform at the level he was prior to the incident, and the Command felt that he was worthy of getting it back that fast.
It all depends on the Soldiers attitude. performance and remorse for whet they have done to warrant the ART 15, on how the after effects will be and how their career will progress and move forward after the events.
SGT,
As I mentioned in my first response, his actions since and continuing on will reflect heavily on whether the command will be willing to look at and listen to recommendations from you as his 1st line supervisor, and also with your NCO COC being on board and of the same feelings towards this Soldier, that is something you also need to consider and talk to your NCOs about as well, are they of the same thought in regards to this Soldier.
