A little history about me. Joined when I was 17, boot camp October 2006. Contract PFC and meritorious LCpl. Took me a year and a half to get promoted to Cpl because I didn't do my MCIs. So I get promoted August of last year and did all of my MCIs as soon as possible. I have excellent pro/cons (4.8/4.7) and a nice record. I've been to Iraq for only a year and I was on this last deployment to Iraq but they cut me because of my dwell time.
Well, I went home on RA back in May and referred someone, all was good while I was home, but the guy was actually enlisting a couple days after I came back to Lejeune. Forward two weeks, I'm at Mojave Viper doing my PTP there and my composite score cuts, a 1630. I ask my recruiter is everything is good and he says yes. I was told that the guy was put under me and all is well.
Forward a couple more weeks. I ask my S-1 shop how exactly it works with a referral and they tell me the RSS has to send a fax to my BN and then I have to take it up to IPAC to get it added to my.. stuff (don't know what exactly it's added to), my MCTFS maybe? So For a month I'm talking with my recruiter, calling him almost every day seeing if he can't get me this paper. Well, I'm home on block leave, again, talking to him literally every day, and every day he says he'll talk to the SNCOIC and get this paper I need. Finally, two days before I go home I tell him that I NEED the sheet that day b/c I'm not going to be in town the last two days.. Well I end up talking to the SNCOIC and he said the poolee was never put under me!! I was relatively mad, this stopped me from getting promoted yesterday.
Either way, I talk to my chain of command, essentially what's going to happen is my RSS is going to send a memorandum to my chain saying that it was messed up on their side, and this is going to be put into a package to get my promotion date set back to August 1st. I would have been one of the three people with a 1650 to get promoted.
I'm just wondering if this package to get it backdated will actually work?
Please give me your input.
Thanks
