It is fed from the Integrated Personnel and Pay System. It will update automatically but it may take up to a month. You should also make sure your mil connect is updated.

Well that makes sense, thanks sir. Its only been 5 days but for some reason I seem to remember it taking a while when I made SGT so I was wondering if there was a way to do it manually.

CPT (Join to see) Hey sir I was promoted to SSG in January of last year, and it shows in IPPS-A and MilConnect that I am a SSG, but whenever I log on to my GOV computer, it shows my rank as SGT. Shouldn't that update with MilConnect? Email shows as correct, but again whenever I log onto a GOV computer, it shows SGT. Thank sir.

SSG(P) (Join to see) - I don't know if you got the answer to this or not, but the structure of your displayed name when you log into a DoD domain-joined computer is stored in your Active Directory account. Put in a ticket with your local S6 or NEC to have your rank updated in your AD account. Once the ticket is in the hands of the technician, it's literally a 30 second process to change your display name and the change will be effective once you log off and log back on.
