I'll vouch for that. DS in the Marine Corps just got his promotion to Capt back dated. I told him not to spend all the money in one place.They can backdate promotions. Back pay goes with it.
CPT board can be done virtually: 1. Have pulse? Yes or no. 2. Have GOMR? Yes or no. If yes and no then promote.
It’s a mix of time, needs of the service, performance, jobs held, professional courses... other factors.Interesting about “the promotion board”. Not knowing that much about things military related other than the fact that my daughter is now going the NROTC route, this was an interesting take.
Very different from my own personal experiences with promotions, both receiving and giving in the private sector. I generally have had a rhyme or reason for promotions (though not always) but this sounds just like everything is length of service related.
Does this change for ranks higher than captain or is there merely a lot of card punching during the career with time of service basically equals rank?
FYI - I did have to look up GOMR.

CCC May be delayed or incorporate a distance learning portion or other options. It will get waived for promotion requirements etc. depends on how long the travel ban holds and if classes can resume at the same size or have to be reduced to maintain social distancing.
