This may have changed, however when I served....
E1 to E2 was six months time in service.
E2 to E3 was one year time is service, six months time in grade.
E3 to E4/SP4 was eighteen months time is service, six months time in grade, and recommendation of an E5 or higher.
So no less than eighteen months, provided you earn good reviews and have no disciplinary action.

How do you abbreviate army specialist RANK?
SPC is the abbreviation for Specialist. Currently, there is only one grade of Specialist - E4. Specialist grades used to go all the way up to E9 (although the Specialist 9 or SP9 was only theoretical - nobody had ever actually been awarded that rank). At that time, the E4 Specialist was abbreviated as SP4. However, all the Specialist grades above E4 have since been done away with, so there was no need to indicate the pay grade with the rank, thus the abbreviation became SPC.
