How Soldiers Get Promoted In The Army
Вставка

- 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.

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
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?
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.
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
Can you make this for officers?
Working on it now!
Matt Ward Thanks! I plan on serving as an officer and I’m currently filling out my ROTC scholarship admission form. Looking forward to your video
Please do Matt!!
Also if I might suggest something, can you explain how basic pay works with time in service? For example, you're a captain ,and your TIS is 4 years, once you become a captain does the pay reverse back to
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.
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.

How was it going through the green to gold processes. Cuz my primary goal is to be an officer.
ROTC is probably going to be the easiest thing for you imo, unless you already have your degree
@@sirslam2414 I'm enlisting first that's why. My associate degree is not enough for commission
@@panfordnoble806 my buddy I served with during just cause and desert storm went green to gold. Made captain and hated being an officer. Resigned his commission and went back as an E6. Retired as an E7 three years ago, but with captain pay. (you get the highest rank you recieve for retirement).
Remember guys. A 21 yr old can get his cdl and make $2400.00 a week. You see ALL of the US in 5 yrs. ALL of it. A passport costs $125.00

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.
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!
I would love for you to talk about the TSP I’m shipping out agust 5th and I’m really trying to more about it
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.
Another useful video! Thank you Matt!!
In my unit,
You need to kiss a lot of ass to get promoted 🤷🏻♂️
I'm a Career Counselor for the Army Reserve in Texas. If anyone is currently in the IRR in Texas I can show them what's available in the Army Reserve.
SOME GET AHEAD BUY KISSING ASS (AT LEAST BACK IN MY TIME) DIDN'T APPEAR THAT YOU HAD TO KNOW ANYTHING SOMEONE LIKED YOU, YOU GOT A BETTER DEAL. A LITTLE DISGRUNTLED.
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!
Signing up for military dog handler guys wish my luck on my journey to E9
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
I’m a cook so I get promoted fast
Really how fast do you get promoted as a cook its not that fast for combat medics to my knowledge
Justin Smith cooks are in high demand no one wants to do it! Lots of people are combat medics so promotions take longer for that! I made first sergeant in less then 7 years
I should've been a cook instead of 31B which is in low demand
apparently there's a group in uh roblox(a game) that uh is roleplaying military stuff yeah uh i kinda learned about the us army by that way, kinda cool. I'm E2 and trying to get into a division mainly army special forces
Cool
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.
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.
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.
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.
Hey Matt I was talking to my recruiter near where I live and he said I can get promoted to private second class when I join if I send him people who wanna join as long as they enlist before I ship out.
I like the idea of that but I don’t know if any of my friends would like to join
I think you mean Private First Class. 🤣😂😉

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

What dictates whether u get specialist or corporal and which is better?
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!

How do i figure out if i made e3? I cant find anything on ako
Check your LES on mypay.
hey matt i was gonna be promoted in the 11th a.c.r. in the 80's but too much politics! i stayed a 94b!
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
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.
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 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 🙄🙄🙄🙄.
In the Wisconsin army cadets we just have to take a hand written test
Tf E4 Mafia for life!!!!!!!!!!
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.
Im enlisting bc im poor but im gonna be taking advantage of the green to gold program to get a degree and comission up asap.
In terms of money, A fresh faced butter bar iirc makes roughly the same as like a Sergent with 8 years of service.
LT’s making UA-cam videos about enlisted promotions? Did you bother talking to a senior NCO beforehand?
Great video E4 given by Time in service...
I’m leaving June 25 to fort Jackson as a 25Q
How long after joining do you go to basic training?
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 😅
You have to explain L.E.S. to civilians..I know it is Leave & Earning Statement. All acronyms should be explained if you want civilians to understand.
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-
just wanna say thanks for putting out real good informative vids to bad theres not to many people out there
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.
Knee pads and ductape.
Your welcome for my service.
Do they still do RIFs (Reduction in Force) for being too long in grade/being passed over for promotion? Or is that fiction?
What If you're a Sargent and you're staff Sargent died Do you Get promotion?
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.
NEW VIDEO WOOOOO!
Hoping to get that e4 waiver next may.
The thing is for me in 4 more years well now 3 more years I'm gonna be training in fort sill oklahoma gotta love the red people
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
The way to get promoted is basically the same as with a job, do your job and have a positive attitude.
Corporals should be team leaders, Sergeants as squad leaders, and Staff Sergeants as platoon sergeants.
From e1 or e2 to e4 if you don’t get a waiver you gonna wait a hot minute I’ll tell you that
Should be promoted to e4 before your first contract finishes
2-4 years a a fresh boot lower enlisted is not long at all...ESPECIALLY if you get deployed...I went through my four ranks in a breeze and barely remember halve of it. You have to mess up alot to not even hit E3 let alone E4(P)
Is TIS only active duty time? Or does it also include IRR time?
I ship out for Basic at Fort Benning July 22nd
Jordan Masters me too bro
What mos did you pick? I'm going to fort jackson on august 20th I picked 15D Aircraft powertrain repairer.

goodluck it is going to be fun for you😂😂
lord liftzalot For real bro? That’s awesome. I’ll definitely see you down there
I'm curios. Why does a 2nd Lt. fresh out of OCS get to order a Sgt. with years of combat experience? And why does the 2nd Lt get paid more?
(Sorry I know it's probably a dumb question but I'm literally curios about it)
it's possible to make it to e5 just two years. you have to have a degree before you can be comissioned as an officer.
at least 2/3rds of the army are support/logistics troops, so there's a good chance that the sargeant may have years of practical experience,
but it might not be in frontline combat.
Great job with this explanation Lt. Thank you so much

@@like_a_boss3105 Rangers are great for direct warfare, but i want what the Green Berets offer, superior unconventional warfare and behind the scenes missions.
Hooah!
How do you enter as E3 besides referrals and college degree? I’m 31 and don’t want to be an E1/E2 too long 😂, and never went to college, just did certifications/soloprenuer (fitness/health/Jiu Jitsu instructor).
I got everything I asked for from my recruiter just a few hours ago. So I agreed to enlist Friday, ship out November!
I’m in the army
Reserves and national guard don’t have to go before a board ?
Hey I'm hella confused about something, do you need to be able to do like 40 pushups and sit ups to get in? Like do they test that at meps or? Just someone please tell me.
That isn’t a requirement at MEPS

@@iimonsteruk5911 that is very good!
This may be a random question..but... how long can someone stay within one rank - E5 for example with 11b?

I don't know but I think in today's Army (supposedly years ago someone could stay an e5 for 20 years and actually retire there), at some point after a few more years they would make you try to rank up to e6 and try to push you to do Advance Leadership Course and e6 board. In the Army you could be an e6 after like six to eight years.
Depends on your mos, theres a limit though and if you refuse to go to further leadership courses or the board you’ll get get discharged from the army
15 years as a e5
20 years for e6
Like 10 years e4
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
veteran was the best promotion I ever got
Shipping to fort wood July 29th, anyone else?

How do promotions work in SMP (simultaneous membership program) I was informed you get promoted to E-5 and work on leadership skills within your unit while also taking ROTC. Thank you for ya time.
You don't get promoted to E5 you become a "cadet" with E5 pay. You will get your 2LT once you finish ROTC.
Rich B gotcha seemed a bit high responsibility wise for someone with not much time
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
Anyone here have the mos 15D? Aircraft Powertrain Repairer. I'm shipping out in August and would like to know more information. Thanks.
15T here. Good luck @ Ft. Eustis
@@GMannLaHood How hard is the AIT? Do you regret signing up for that mos?
Luke NoFluke As a 15T, some maintenance test you will do can be pretty difficult. So can the written. Don’t regret it just get it done. If I can do it so can you. Aviation is the best field in all military imo
Thank you sir
You’re welcome!
