(2) The delay is not the result of a promotion review based on adverse
information pertaining to an officer whose name appears on the promotion appointment
scroll discovered through exemplary conduct screening.

an officer whose name appears on the promotion appointment scroll.

Army will determine the effective date for promotion for ARNG commissioned and
warrant officers on the affected scroll. The date will not be earlier than 100 days from
