What is the promotion timeline after a reduction from a FG Article 15? Should I automatically be promoted since I have 7.8 years TIS?

If I was demoted to E-1 on 04MAR21 for an Article 15 and my flag was lifted 20APR21, does that mean I should have been promoted to E-2 automatically considering I have 7.8yrs TIS?

Since you exceed the RCP for your current grade dut to reduction, your new ETS should be 03 September 2021, six months from the date of your reduction. You will not be able to meet the TIG requirements for each rank to make it back to SPC (P) prior to your new ETS.

Go see your Career Counselor with your reduction paperwork to get your new ETS. The last thing you want is to wait another two months before someone catches it and you only have a month or two to clear and ETS.

You will now have to meet all required TIG standards for next advancement. No waivers are allowed. You're looking at either September or October, depending on when the new DOR was in effect.

Per AR 600-8-19, 2-3

You'll have to complete the TIG requirements again, E1 to E2 is curious though as the regulation does not have a TIG requirement only a TIS requirement. I would seek out your NCO and see if they'd be willing to send up a 4187 to promote you to E2 based on the TIS mentioned in the regulation if you're unflagged.

E1 - E2: 6 Months TIS
E2 - E3: 12 Months TIS, 4 Months TIG
E3 - E4: 24 Months TIS, 6 Months TIG

Check with your local JAG or personnel office. To be busted to E-1 it must have been a serious issue.
