My husband told me this week, that Congress has approved the promotion list. It was approved last Friday. Now, we are waiting on PERSCOM to get that approval and to post how many and when they get promoted. From, that, he'll know when he'll pin on. 1 May would be good. I'd even take 1 June. He will have to get his orders amended to reflect the promotion, and thus the increased weight allowance. As long as I know we're getting the increased weight allowance, I can almost wait for my tablet and PSE 5.

Promotion Pending Congressional Approval -update Now, we are just waiting on PERSCOM

My husband was selected for promotion to major in January. He was always told that the list could not come out until Congress approves it. Well, apparently it came out without Congressional approval. So, we are waiting for indefinite period of time.
If Congress had approved it before it came out, he should have been promoted this spring. Spring is perfect timing. It gives us a bigger weight allowance for our household goods going overseas. And, we want our presents. I get a tablet. He's getting some XBox stuff.

Good luck with the promotion. I know that one paygrade up sure means a lot more weight allowance!

Saying a little prayer that you will receive news of the approval soon. Hang in there, the waiting is always sooooo long with the military.

Hopefully your wait won't be too long!
And might I add-thank you for being a military family! I know you deal with a lot of "junk" in the military-but I am truly thankful for those who are in the military. I know my freedom isn't free-so THANK YOU!

I'll keep my fingers crossed it's all worked out before your move. You'll love the tablet, too!
The one thing I hate about the military is the waiting and constant change of plans. It drives me nuts!
