Don't be
THIS and you can get promoted.....
FYI - it took me 36 months to pick up E-4, and 11 months to get E-5. That was in 95 (when I got Sgt). Picked up E-6 beginning of 99 (selected in 98). This is, of course going in Sept 90. Not too bad for having office hours at my first duty station (within 2 months of being there). 45 days restriction, 45 days EPD, 1/2 months pay for 2 months, 1 month of that suspended. Just for flipping a govvie doing donuts
Anyways....it doesn't matter where you are in the war....when its your time, its YOUR time. Just don't expect someone to hold your hand. You man up and deal with it. Part of the job......
