Don't ask when you're getting promoted. Bad idea, trust me. Ask your General HOW to get promoted, what you should do. Do whatever he tells you, and more. If you go above and beyond, he'll notice. Do whatever you can find that needs doing. Make it a point to talk to newer members and make them feel welcome, show up for all of your clan's meetings/squad practices, even if you don't have to, help run a squad, even if it's not your own. Anything that shows you're a hard worker and a good leader will reflect well on you. Above all, be patient. You might have to wait a few months before a spot opens up, even if you and your General both know you're ready for it.
