Report month 201503 (Promotion month) To determine Time in Grade (TIG) – Subtract the Soldier’s Date of Rank (DOR) from the Report month. For example: Report month 201503 (Promotion month) - Date of rank (DOR) 201501 (*20150102) ----------------------------------------------------------------- 2 months TIG To determine Time in Service (TIS) – Subtract the Soldier’s Basic Active Service Date (BASD) from the report month. For example: Report month 201503 - Basic active service date (BASD) 201307 (*20130702) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1 year and 8 months = 20 months TIS * When computing months for TIG/TIS the number of days are not used for calculations.

(*The percentage may vary from time to time). EXAMPLE: PV2 waiver allocation – There are twenty (20) PV2’s assigned and two (2) PV2’s attached.

Check on Learning Q: How does waiver allocation computation for SPC/CPL differ from the computation for PV2 and PFC? A: Authorized strength is used to compute SPC/CPL waivers, assigned and attached strength are used for PV2 and PFC.    Q: What is the variable waiver ceiling percentage and where is this information obtained? A: It is used to determine the maximum number of personnel who do not meet the established TIS/TIG criteria for a particular rank. It is a figure provided by HQDA through the promotion cutoff score message E4 is located in the HQDA message and the E2-E3 is located in AR 600-8-19.   Q: What does line 3 represent on the Waiver Allocation Worksheet? A: Line 3 represents the numbers of Soldiers currently using a waiver with less than required TIS/TIG. .
