How Soldiers Get Promoted In The Army
Vložit

- Here is a quick glance at the complicated process for soldiers to be promoted.
NOTE: Once you want to become an NCO (E-5+) one must build a promotion packet to submit. Therefore, it is on the individual to ensure their smooth and fast promotions.

My father actually had to request, be approved to attend, and complete an entirely different MOS school as an E-6 because his position (Senior Medic) was changed from an E-7 slot to an E-6 slot. In order to be promoted from E-6 to E-7, he actually had to change MOS, so he went to school to be a Forward Observer. Of course, it helped that he was a Marine Infantryman before he was an Army Medic & O.R. Tech.
When my grandpa was in the Army in WW2 if a higher ranking soldier got killed in youre platoon the. The most qualified would get promoted to that rank
thats in time of total war, there is no time to do all that process to get promote
It should still be a meritocracy honestly
@@ayoutubecommenter1827 It technically is.
The *best* gets promoted.
Maybe not as perfect as in other times but it counts as a meritocracy.
@TheChelus they wouldn't do all the paperwork to promote you but you would legally be prompted due to the situation
I love your channel! You have so many videos I have to binge watch!! Everything is here. So much information... thank you!!
I am leaving for BT for the army on July 2nd and your videos have been helping me get ready so I just wanted to say thank you for all these videos and the help
At reception right now at fort Jackson start basic this Friday! Thanks for all the info Matt, appreciate it. You’re also the reason I’m doing rotc at my university this fall. Thanks again!
Damn you still have your phone? Wtf lol
How was basic
How’s the military treating you
I started watching your channel years ago, I learnt a lot and finally joined the army and I’m now at Fort Campbell, thank you.
Hey Matt, just wanted to say I watched a lot of your videos prior to shipping out to bct last year, I graduated back in August. But your videos have helped me out a lot!!
I joined the Marine Corps and I’ll ship out to Parris Island on June 13th, 2022. I get he hottest months 🥲 I guess we will ship out in the same month.
As for E7 to E9. There is a TIG requirement. If your accepted into the 2nd zone you can be promoted in 2 years. Otherwise its 3 before they add you to the list of promotions.
Another useful video! Thank you Matt!!
Love your videos man, you should interview people and have them talk about what their mos is like
This would be an awesome series to start actually.
Im early btw.
Btw matt, thanks for making these videos. I want to become a infantryman or 25b in the soldier, and you helped me a lot with your info on all your videos.
Definitely #1 channel for people who want advice to join the army.
Super Friday

Thanks for the video, your video been helping me. I leave for basic 21 October 2019. I’m a 19k and i’ll be in Fort Benning Georgia
That's Interesting. My reserve center promotes based on time in service. Maybe every unit is different. I put my Sargent packet in today. Fingers crossed. I'm ready to lead soldiers. Oh and if your reading this and you want to join. Don't listen to the people that complain. It has it's ups and downs like everything else. Do it! Hooah! great job Ward I used to watch you before I joined. Congratulations SIR!
Great information , thank you for your knowledge
Long hair enlisted in 71 after getting my draft invitation. Was offered officer school opportunity in basic but said hell no. After less than five years with every school, correspondence course, tactical training , and NCO school taken, and a time in grade wavier I was promoted to Army SSG E-6. That’s even with a MP MOS! Never consciously kissed ass and never was an a-hole to my fellow soldiers and buddies. I just worked hard and stayed out of trouble. ETS after 6 years. It can be done and had a good time doing it for the most part.
hi Matt, I was in long ago and it looks like they haven't changed much. In my mos they froze the rank and put the number at 997. That was a bummer, but I did manage to get 887 points and was still working on things when the dropped the cut of points to 850, did get promoted, nice. You do a good job in helping these soldiers look at things in a positive way, thanks sir
just got outta BCT at Ft. Jackson, i’m at Ft. Leonard wood now for my AIT as a 88M, thank you so much for all the infos & tips. keep it up Sir!
Isaac Duduline
Was it hard? I'm shipping out there in August. How many people didn't make it and got dropped out? And what was the hardest thing?
Luke NoFluke I went last year in August to November. My company started with about 150-160 troops ended up graduating with only 120-130. It wasn’t really hard it’s just depends on how mature your company is. Mine was the opposite so we always got smoked. Wasn’t too bad tho, the hardest thing we had to do for us at least was the last graduation requirement and that’s the forge. It’s 3-4 days long I don’t remember but it’s physically demanding but as long as you keep that positive mindset you can do it bro. Don’t sweat it. Hooah!
@@lukenofluke9687 its all based on your drill seargents on how hard it is just before you go every day do push up sit up drills so 1 set of 2 min situps then 2 min push ups then 1min 30 second pu/su the 1 min then 30sec then 10sec also do a 2 mile run daily you do all of this you should be fine come basic
@@anthonyjr6346 Thanks

Great video E4 given by Time in service...
Wow. 9 weeks and 4 days later it's weird to comment again. I can finally say that I'm an American soldier. Fort Jackson Delta 334 dragons was my home. Fort Lee here I come. All your vids helped me prepare. I graduated today and left POV it's so weird being outside alone with no BB around. Well best of luck to you and the future soldiers reading this. "Reign fire". Btw we got honor company!!!
Zeph Belk how was your experience at basic training and how is AIT school?
If you're thinking about joining. Just know that reception Is a week and basic is 9 weeks and 4 days. Reception was the absolute worst in my opinion compared to actual basic training. If you dont mind getting yelled at and being told what to do and when to do it and are able to hold your tongue then basic will be a breeze for you. But just because you can do the right thing dosent mean others can, police your battle buddies and get a system going and hold meetings with your platoon in order to improve. Teamwork is the DreamWorks in basic. If you work well with others basic is only going to be as hard as you make it. I'm currently in AIT ft. Lee atm, it's like college here. They still have drill Sgt buuuut....they are way more relaxed and some I can talk to like a friend but that's situational. Trust me the grass is greener on the other side. If you haven't picked your mos yet pick one that'll benefit you outside the military because once you go to AIT you gain college credits towards any college you apply to after you get to your duty station!!! So choose wisely. Oh and the scariest thing for me was that I was afraid to fail, here's a friendly tip....everything in the army is an open note test including basic and ait. So keep that in mind while you join.
My 18 yr cousin just graduated from bootcamp and will be leaving for the marines in 2 days. He is one of the strongest people in his division and I hope he will be promoted soon!🥳
GOD bless your cousin, and all who serve the United States of America, the greatest country in the history of the world, with honor !!!
@@ITILII don't wanna be rude but america is not the greatest country in history no country is
@@ITILII 😂😂
Here’s a simpler breakdown of how to get promoted in the army if you don’t wanna watch the whole thing.
1. Kiss a lot of ass.
2. Run fast.
3. Learn to screw over your battle buddies and strive ahead.
Done.
Dam that's easy!!
if you watch your own ass and do what is right and good you won't have to worry about anyone selling you out cause there is nothing of merit...
You can stay in a rank for life?
Before going to basic I used to watch your videos, they were a huge help, specially the Land Nav one. I'm currently in AIT as a 35F. Huge props for your videos and how informative they are.
Moises Villanueva I leave next week for 35F! How is Fort Huachuca treating you?
@@YoungBUG716 I'll be honest. Its dry as hell, and running kills you. When you get here start running everyday whenever given the chance. That's the biggest struggle. Apart from that, is very chill and relax. My AIT specifically is very relax. P.T. is much better compare to basic. And being given the chance to go to the gym is a big plus. It's not bad and it offers a lot of entertainment. If you're into hicking, this place is amazing for that.
It’s kinda cool
How similar Canada and he states are: I did a JLC to advance to corporal, and an SLC for my third stripe qual. Never did get that third stripe tho lol. Thanks for being so detailed , I was curious.
This is why becoming an army officer is the best thing for your military career. Within 4 years of academic studies you get to become a leader at such a young age, that's what i'm currently doing with mine i'd highly encourage you to do the same!
I’m not so sure, depending on the goal of your career. Officers have outstanding leadership abilities sure, and? As far as I’ve been able to discern, commissioned officers specifically are not very technically inclined usually. Is that true for your case as well, or are you knowledgeable in any specific skillset other than leadership?
As for me, I’m looking to make a beeline for WOCS as soon as I enlist after completing my 4 year degree, because I’m after a skillset above all else.
My grandpa has some of his ribbons, medals, and championship badges framed on the wall- I saw his retirement certificate. He was drafted (I think) when he was about 18-19 years old and retired as Sergeant First Class. I want to know more about him because I know he won’t have much time left so i’m here-
My wife's uncle served 24 years in the Mariners. He retired an E8. He was so close to an E9, but he was going to have to wait quite a while for someone to retire.
Please make some tutorials about BLC. Like how's the curriculum. How to practice PRT and D&C on your own for the Reserve Soldiers. It would be of great help.
I transitioned from the marine corps to the army and I’m currently an E6 but just got word an E7 spot opened and that I’ll be picking up next month. I’ve been in for 5 years
Negative, there is a time in grade and time in service requirements from E1-E4 across all 3 Army components. However, you can get a waiver for promotion in all 3 components
To be clear, anyone can take their Junior Leaders Course. It’s usually a pathway to a promotion tho: points!
To take Senior Leaders, you must be an NCOminimul, corporal or master corporal: take the SLC and get promoted to Sgt. from there it’s Master Sargeant (I don’t think that exists anymore however) on to Warrant Officer 2nd, then 1st then Sgt Major. From there it’s officer . Second Leftenant, 1st, and so on
In the Wisconsin army cadets we just have to take a hand written test
Wanna make it above e-5/6? Go to a combat mos. You get promoted. The only MOS that get low enough points to promote.
Just got 12M mos today! Reserve contract of 6 years with GI bill and enlistment bonus! Plus GI kicker. Super excited! Unfortunately have to wait until may for basic....
NEW VIDEO WOOOOO!
I kicked ass and moved up PDQ. From E1 to E4 in 9 months. Less than 3 years later, at 4 TIS, I got my 5.
Oct '99: "sorry specialist, no E5 slots available"
......ETS....
Mar '02: *phone rings off the hook*
Ty brother
When I got promoted to E5 we had to go to pldc and go in front of a board to get promoted.this was in 1990
Can you elaborate on your commander giving you points? I’ve been in over 5 years and I’m a SGT.. I’ve never heard of anything like that nor have I found that in any AR/ADRPS!
I leave for basic in less than a month. Any advice in being fit ? & the preparedness for it ? Yes I’ve watched your videos. But I just need a little more details on readiness
We love you
What do you think is the best way to rank? Go through the Enlisted rank into warrant or to Officer, or do half of the E’s then Officer? My MOS is 31B, and I’ll be enlisting as a FCP. Not sure what path to follow after that
Thank you sir
You’re welcome!
For your information I was previously a Commander
Can you do a video on NCOs? What duties they do, what and who they are in charge of. kind of their roles in a unit.
NCOs (like the name suggest) are officers that was not commisioned, by this i mean they're officially not a part of Officer, but they can act as one, it's just that their responsibility in leadership is still not that big.
NCOs command and lead Fireteam, Squad, and Section group
I think all soldiers(especially active duty) should start going to school as soon as they get to their unit. Especially because there's no longer a 1 year wait to use your TA. Start stacking up those promotion points early ESPECIALLY if you know your MOS has high points!! Good look trying to scrape up 700 points in 2 years TIG as a SPC/CPL when you probably are a team leader and have soldiers to manage or other responsibilities. Play smarter not harder!
Sounds similar to the Navy. There you take an exam for E-4 to E-7. E-4 to E-6, test score, eval, and award points weigh on advancing to the next grade. E-7 you test, if you score high enough, you become board eligible. That board convenes, scrubs records, evals, fitness scores, compares against peers in the same job. You either make it if quota allows, or you are SOL until the next year. Not so much political as it is more highly competitive. Made E-6 in 12 years, after that it gets pretty discouraging. Try year after year, and you either make it to E-7 or don't. E-8 and E-9 are centralized boards only.
I didn’t notice till now but isn’t that a 218th MEB patch? Do you live in the lowcountry?
Are you certain about no minimum requirement for E7,8,9 as far as TIS? Article I read which credits source as US Army direct states no minimum requirement for TIG but did show minimum requirement requirement for ‘TIS
veteran was the best promotion I ever got
Hoping to get that e4 waiver next may.
I’m confused on how the being stationed works? I’ve seen videos where people got stationed after basic training and tbh I love my country, and I don’t want to leave my country unless I’m getting deployed
My dad as been in for 18 years and is a sgt major
Do you have a 75th field artillery patch on your wall???
I’m in the guard and it’s the same as time in service and time in rank. I don’t know anyone that’s been promoted prior. However there’s areas in the guard where it’s a joke so I wouldn’t be surprised
What dictates whether u get specialist or corporal and which is better?
My son went into basic as E1. Graduation day got promoted to E2. After AIT went to his unit and 2 months in promoted to E3. But the E3 promotion on the paper work but not finalized yet. Along the way to E3 He has have gotton some awards. You move up ranks pretty quickly if you work hard. Also I notice with my boy that if you stay close to the sgt or the commander and let them take you under their wing, you can rank up quicker but moves you up in line to get deployed...
It depends on his MOS/ job some are easier to move up in the ranks and others take forever.
@@simply_bree9363 that's after you get to e4
@Quantumfied yes, I myself came in as an e3 because I had an associates. what some people may not realize about coming in as e3 is what you said about "E-4 is also automatic but takes a substantial amount of time to get it because it requires a certain amount of time in the army to make."
Someone who comes in as e3 won't make e4 any faster than someone who came in basic with them as an e1 (though I did get promoted before several people I knew from basic whom I've kept in contact with), and when that e3 gets to their unit, the e2's there will make e4 before they do because they've been in longer.
When I made e4 I had a bunch of others tell me "it's about time, you've been PFC forever" because I came in as e3 so I stayed there for well over a year.
mac burger yeah but I’m not talking about the e1-e3 stage. Some jobs have faster promotions is what dad and Recuiter told me one of the recruiters at my station is a cook so he was able to move up faster. While someone was a 91 C who took forever to become a e5. The points is what takes forever
@@simply_bree9363 yes, the points for each MOS will vary from time to time too, a few months ago (I don't know about right now), cook (92G which is my MOS and a MOS I would very strongly advise against) had like 698 points whereas it's often times like 40 points.
Do they still do RIFs (Reduction in Force) for being too long in grade/being passed over for promotion? Or is that fiction?
Is TIS only active duty time? Or does it also include IRR time?
Would it make more sense to attempt OCS than promoting traditionally?
I just finished my Drill Days for the National Gaurd and got chewed out for not knowing my sargeant ranks oof
When I originally went in years ago at 21 I met a 40yr old who had been in 15 yrs who was an E4
Dam I’m in the 82nd and I’m already an e4 On my way to getting my exams for E5 in less than 2 years well I guess it helped I was in JROTC in hs came out of basic with a promotion already dam time flies but can’t wait to be a sarge 😅
I realize this is extremely far-fetched but suppose you are a PFC and you have the Medal of Honor do you still have to go through all of the schools? Just wanting to know out of curiosity.
How officers are getting the pt test？how are they getting evaluated? My their branching or by the mos?
Are you gonna do an updated one for may 2021 changes?
The way to get promoted is basically the same as with a job, do your job and have a positive attitude.
Nice!
Looking to crossover from the Air Force will I go through a full basic training?
MAtt i have been wondering. Is it possible for me to go to basic training? I am from Denmark and i become a sergent in January. Basic training just looks so interesting compared to the Danish basic training. Thanks and keep up the good work
Yes there are programs that allow you to come over here and be an American soldier there was a guy in my basic that was in the rock army for korea
I'm either the first or the third viewer of this video but either way, still useful information. Thank you very much Matt Ward!!!
Im going to fort benning as a E3 this weekend
I was in the 82nd from 89 to 92. Became a Spec4 and went to PLDC. Got out before promotion and went into the National Guard. I was a two time combat vet at that point, with combat jump wings (Operation Just Cause/Operation Desert Storm). I was passed over for E5 because the dude that got the spot was always National Guard and was able to finish his associates degree and almost his bachelor's when I was just starting college. His college outweighed my rack.. Smh. I decided then I was not staying and got out, even though I made E5 a few months later.
Smarter not stronger. Sucks that you might have been busy with your deployments to go to school but degrees hold alot of weight. Especially over deployments to e5
This is an out of date look, around 92....I have been in since 94 (with a six year break in service) but the promotion system has drastically changed since the 90s. Now the NCOER plays a huge role in promotions and deployments are given more weight mainly because the Guard and Reserve have played a larger role in the fight with deployments. College degrees are still significant but don't necessarily get you ahead. There was a lot more of the buddy system 90s which could hold up a good Soldier. Not nearly as much now with the current system.
It definitely sucks that happened to you and soured you on the Guard and service. Hopefully you capitalized on your military training and made you successful in the civilian world.!
@@waynebrewington4141 yeah well that's bs. That's what I told the retention NCO. I said I have no confidence in the abilities of this light infantry unit if we deploy. I will die with these soup sammies.. Guess the 82nd spoiled me even though it was a constant pain in my ass. But there is a reason we trained so damn hard, because we had to be ready. We went first.
@@caseyvallett8953 I served from 89-97. 8 total years. Yes, civilian world I am making 6 figures a few times over now but I had to earn that over many years. During my guard time, Clinton was Riffing the military, and the guard wasn't quite rolling with the army standard promotion point system. I came to my unit with pldc completed but that didn't matter. Sure they slid me into a team leader slot and laterally moved me to corporal. But that's extra responsibility, without the pay. I was salty, for sure. I was one of two in my guard unit that had a combat patch and the only one with combat jump wings. Permenant Valorous unit citation, and four rows of fruit salad. Expert qualification and PT score was in top 5 percen(not hard to get in a guard unit, some disgusting fat bodies reside there....) . But a book worm gets the promotion and the closest he ever came to combat was taking the wrong exit off the highway into the ghetto at night 🙄🙄🙄🙄.

Issahector good luck and congrats in joining
80% C fund, 10% S fund, 10% I fund.
You can custom tailor between those 3 funds or go 100% C fund if you want, but I wouldn't go below 70% on C fund.
The C fund is essentially an S&P 500 index fund. The S&P 500 index fund is the top 500 US companies spread throughout the whole fund with a heavy portion of it on the top growth stocks like Amazon, Google, Apple, etc.
Just park the money into there. Also make it a Roth contribution. Roth contributions are after tax versus traditional which is before taxes. Just means with a Roth you have already been taxed on that money. With traditional that money isn't taxed until you pull it out and it will be taxed at the income rate of that year in your retirement. You don't know if we will be seeing 50% income tax rates in the next 30+ years so better to just make it a Roth contribution and know when you pull 500 dollars out of the account in retirement that it is going to be straight 500 bucks tax free.
Also, if you can contribute something like 200 bucks a month for the next 40 years into an S&P500 index fund it should result in having well over a million dollars in retirement.
Reserves and national guard don’t have to go before a board ?
What If you're a Sargent and you're staff Sargent died Do you Get promotion?
So do you pick up o-auto.atically? What about o-3?
Is there a possibility that we can look at the army regulations if we aren’t shipped out yet? Or isn’t only for any NCO
Yes you can just google army regulations. I included a few links as well in the description
One thing that isn’t true. I got promoted to E5 and I never went to BLC yet. On my Les it says E5. I am scheduled for BlC and did my online training tho.
