1LT Private RallyPoint Member 4235582 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I&#39;m currently deployed and received State orders for CPT. I have yet to populate on a scroll. I volunteered for the deployment and am currently holding an O3 slot (which I have been officially transferred into rather than attached). I transferred in to that spot in March (eligible for CPT in FEB). I had heard a rumor that being that since I&#39;m on Title 10 and in a slot for the next higher rank, that there was a way to bypass the dreaded FEDREC process. The only info I could find that would justify this is in 10 USC 14316. However, I can&#39;t find anything in AR 600-8-29.<br /><br />Just hoping somebody could shed some light on this. 2018-12-26T03:13:19-05:00 1LT Private RallyPoint Member 4235582

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Don&#39;t think so. We had guys on the scroll while deployed, some went almost the whole time w/o fedrec. The deployment did not seem to affect the promotion process. sorry...

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Oh, and our Chaplain was in a higher grade slot just like you, and still waited.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Ask your CDR to frock you. That applies whilst deployed, and CDR dependant.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Your Chain has the ability to give you a vacancy promotion. My BDE &amp; BN CDRs wanted to do that for me when I was in your position. G1 incorrectly came back said, yes/no/yes/well/hold 1/no/maybe/etc. Your BN CDR has that authority to pin CPT on provided 1) you are in an O3 slot; 2) you have the time in grade; 3) if your name is not before the board or is pending the board (the later you withdrawal from the board). If your BN CDR does not wish to give you a vacancy promotion, sit and wait. Wait some more. Then wait again because CPT&#39;s lists take longer than the MOB processing lines.<br /><br />A friend was given a vacancy promotion downrange. Unlike frocking, this is not a temporary promotion. You only get one vacancy in your career.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>No. I&#39;ve been deployed since June 2018 (state order June 28) and still waiting on fed rec.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If you received state orders for CPT - you are roughly 9months out - and it will likely take 9 months for you to backdoor anything else. Just ride it out - I know this time sucks - but it will pass.
