As to OER - she had a change of rater OER a few months ago. As to a new OER, who can tell.
Actually, in my case, My OER was due a week after I filed. (not particularly good timing) but I still received a very fair writeup. However, instead of getting top blocks from both rater and Sr. Rater, I got center of mass.
As to moving forward or getting thrown out - it’s anybody’s guess at this point. I’m hoping and praying. I know - hope is not a plan, but it’s the best we have right now.
He should hand down his ruling on Wednesday
Do you have enough time before MRD so that you will come into the zone for LTC and still have 3 years to serve if selected? If not, then like myself, getting center of mass is OK. I will hit MRD before I come into the zone for USAR LTC consideration. I will actually encourage senior raters to give me center of mass so they can use the above for those that have time enough left to promote. You know they have limits on above mass percentages.
Now if you will come into the LTC board zone soon, having a center of mass rating could hurt...especially for LTC in the USAR where it starts getting competetive. The big thing will be your having at least completed ILE(CGSC) and other mil and civilian education. Also, the types of assignments you have held makes a difference. Have you had Battalion XO or S-3 time...etc. I think boards tend to view DIMAs as lesser forms of USAR existence (I’m a DIMA also).
The CPT though is in a more precarious position. Should she decide she wants to stay in the regular army, she could be hurt when she comes up for MAJ. However, she may have no intention of staying in, so this may not be a fear for her. What I’m more concerned about is them charging her with conduct unbecoming an officer because she said derogulatory things about a POTUS. That would be an “atom bomb” approach, but it could be used if the current POTUS decides he is tired of dealing with this issue and pressures the SECDEF and SECARMY to push prosecution. Especially, if the judge does not grant her an injunction. Because she bravely challenged a sitting POTUS....she could be made an example of. I hope this does not occur. Do you think it could?
You can probably forget Lt. Col. But as a reservist, as I was, so what? We aren't/weren't in it for the money anyway.
