Was almost maxed out on points to get Sergeant but I'm not eligible until next month....but I did get promoted to Corporal



aside from the "points" issue that i'm having a hard time reconciling.....if you just got promoted to cpl how will you be eligible for sgt next month? i assumed all branches(like the marines) had a time in grade requirement before being eligible for promotion

Because Specialist to Corporal is a lateral promotion. Same pay grade, thus, time in grade doesn't reset. I'm not eligible for Sergeant because I don't have 3 years time in service until next month.

lateral promotion = oxymoron

I think you should be assigned Permanent Latrine Orderly
