How long does it take to get promoted from 2nd Lt. to 1st Lt. in the U.S.Army

Question

just like a rough estimate

Answer 1

It is all time based now until you hit CPT. I was promoted to 1LT in 18 months. Yes I too was at Bragg. Then CPT came a little more then three years. I was commissioned may 1999 and was a CPT by OCT 2002. I believe all Junior officers are time time based until you reached Major. Unless you really s***w up then you should be on the same path.  

Answer 2

18 months to 1LT, 36 months to CPT. It used to take like 48 months to make CPT.

Answer 3

2 years from date of commision approx.

Answer 4

you shouldnt throw yourself away quit the army life is to short and you dont want to spend it in the army.

Answer 5

It was 18 months like clock work in the 82nd. I can't speak for anywhere else, but it seemed to pretty much coincide with their duty rotation. They usually promoted them and then a few days later sent them packing to their next post or assignment.  

Answer 6

It depends. If 2nd is better than 1st. He will get promoted soon.

Answer 7

18 months is the correct ancer
