I am currently deployed and got picked up for SSG in September. I found out on my own that i have to have 12 months to have my orders cut. My re-up says that I cannot extend or re-enlist till the first day of the next fiscal year. This was because of a freeze of all re-ups so i've been told. As far as I Know if I do not comply with the SRR by either reenlist or extend by the end of September I will be dropped from the promotion name list and not be able to be promoted. Is this right not to allow me to extend for a promotion regardless of a freeze? Can I comply with the SRR by just initiating the reenlistment prior to the end of the month and officially re-up on 1 October?

Did you talk to a Career Counselor or a reenlistment NCO? There is a difference.

Yes thats who told me this. Now i was suppose to do mty ceremony on the 1st of Oct and she wasn't here to do it!

Now that I have finally re-enlisted on the 10th of october i am waiting on my Orders for my promotion. How long does it take to change my rank in the system after i comply with the SRR?

My re-up NCO told me if i do a DA form 4856 to lock in my reenlistment before the 1st of October then that would be enough to hold my promotion orders till the re-up date. Now that i have said yes and did my re-up they are taking a long time to change my rank and cut my orders.
