<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Things are a bit different for officers vs. enlisted, Under DOPMA (Act that tells Dod how to manage officers), and subsequent regulations, reserve officers are typically tied to the running mate system where zones are established to mirror the active side by designator. You can see the angst if promotions don&#39;t align between active and reserves. There are some exceptions where something must be done to fix a big hole, but the Service has to get permission from the Secretariat. When I was still in the Reserves, that was tough usually preceded by questions like who mismanaged things to allow this to get to this point. Not fun. Guard is a world of its own and isn&#39;t comparable, so don&#39;t use anything from that side.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>In my experience, I was promoted on the same time frame as active duty, however I had to find a position pretty much on my own. Up until the 20 year mark, I would get a promotion and had to find a position. In my case, I had assistance by the Corps of Engineer Human Resource folks. After the 20 year mark, if I hadn&#39;t been able to find a position, I would have been retired by the Army Reserves. It really helps to get to know senior soldiers in other units before you come up for promotion.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>A Milper will go out announcing the upcoming promotion boards. For example when I search Milpers I search on &quot;APL MAJ&quot; which is for branches other than Medical, Legal, Chaplain, etc....<br /><br />The last MAJ promotion Milper came out last November. The TIG to be in the zone was 5.2 - 6.2 years at the time of the Milper. <br /><br />Which means............ if you are TIG 5.2+ years and your CCC is done, and you are not flagged you should be looking for an O4 slot ASAP. <br /><br />As well........... the latest MILPER for FY22 for CPT knocked off an entire year from the TIG zone from the previous boards. So hopefully the same goes for everyone else come FY23.
