I enlisted as a PFC right after I graduated college. At the MEPS, they could not promote me to SPC because my diploma was not generated by that time. After I got the diploma, I submitted in the middle of my BCT. I received DA 4187 that indicates I am now E-4 and my LES got updated to E-4.
I am not at AIT and when I checked my AKO and ERB, it still said I am PFC. On my iPerms, my diploma, transcript, and 4187 were missing.
I gave a copy of 4187 to my drill SGT couple weeks ago but it is still not updated.
What action should I take?

Hard charger....great question. First thing you should do is get in touch with your first line supervisor and use your chain of command. I wouldn't recommend going outside of the structure but if things continue lagging and taking a long time, ask your first line to speak with your PSG and go from there. Make sure you have all the documentation in your hand before you do anything this way, they don't have to ask for items and you aren't in a sense wasting their time. Keep checking these systems however as they do take time to update. One takeaway from this whole experience is get yourself a notebook binder and keep copies of everything. This way if somebody says your missing items, you can produce them rather quickly.

Best of luck!

If you have a 4187 and your LES reflects, you are good to go. Yes the others need updated, but those are secondary as the pay is the one that needs inputted correctly. The ERB essentially a living document, as it can be outdated and it won’t affect much. The AKO is purely cosmetic. Definitely keep following up to ensure mostly your ERB gets updated and the 4187 hours into iPERMS, but like I said as long as your LES reflects you are getting paid and are good to go.
