Greetings, Promotion question here:

I am potentially reclassing from 98J to 33W, which has an approx 40+ week AIT.

Can I be promoted/boarded during this long AIT?

For example go into Tradoc as a Specialist, and leave a pinned-on Sgt?

I am quite sure if this was possible, my next stop on the road would be the NCO academy.

Thanks,

Jason

That is a NEGATIVE!!! You must complete your AIT into your new MOS before you can be boarded for promotion to the NCO ranks..... Reference this in AR 600-8-19 --> Enlisted Promotions and Reductions.....

Thanks, G*d forbid that I check the reg.....
