My Soldier has been to the promotion board already and has received his "P" status. Were sure he will make points next month but my 1SGT is wanting him promoted until then. Which I agree.
If the DA 4187 is signed by the Company Commander the lateral promotion remains with that organization. If the DA 4187 is signed by the Battalion Commander (O5/LTC) then it is a permanent promotion which will go with the troop in the event he to she is slated to PCS.
