In my short career I've seen a lot of SM ETSing because of the lack of chances to get promoted. Last one I saw was a 25B being Promotable for 6 years and he told me he couldn't wait anymore so, he left. In the other hand, I've seen Soldiers getting promoted pretty much after passing the Board.
How long have you been in (P) Status? How long did it take you to make the Rank you are holding?

I'm Guard now so my experience is a little different, but I've been promotable for over 5 years now. Just waiting on a spot to open up in my unit. I've had many chances to transfer to other units and fill an E5 slot, but I truly enjoy where I am and who I work with, so I'll stick it out here for a while longer and see what happens.

The national guard is slot drivin. I've been promotable for about 5 years now, was first in the promotion list with my MOS and still I can not get promoted until a slot opens up. I've been looking at other units for the slots but it all depends on how far people want to drive for the promotion, if not your looking at a 10 year SPC.

SPC (Join to see) in the other hand, a guy that went to BCT after me, he is in the Reserves in PR, made SGT even before I made SPC. Incredible...

SGT(P) (Join to see) - Reserves makes rank faster. All the ones I was over seas with have made rank and they promoted all the SPC to SGT before they left to go over seas.
