Can I update my DOR on my erb when I was promoted to Corporal ?

I went from USMC to Army. I did inter service transfer. I enlisted back in April of this year, couple weeks ago I went to S1 to get my ERB fixed as far ribbons and DOR, S1 told me it's not possible. Is there any regulation that states that ? Or they do not know, since not every S1 clerk has to dial with it on the daily basis.

Talk to the officer in charge of S1 - not the clerk.

If you have not been promoted since you enlisted in the Army your DOR should be your enlistment date in the Army, AR 600-8-19 para 1-14a(4)(a). If you are trying to adjust your DOR to include you TIG in the USMC the clerk is correct, you cannot.

It's in AR 600-20 Army Command Policy under the section called Enlisted date of rank. Short answer is no your DOR from any other service except NG and USAR does not transfer. Certain awards, BASD, PEBD, DIEMS, and most military education will transfer though

There is something in the regs about what awards of one service may be worn if the recipient changes branches. For instance, if you had the MC Achievement Medal, that can be worn on the army uniform, but I don't think MC marksmanship badges can be. The reg points it out.
