I have completed the 70B Direct Commission process and signed my DA71 and contract about a month ago. I am still waiting for the HRC orders. Does anyone have an idea of how long it normally takes to get orders back from HRC?

SGT L J,
Mine took about two months after the paperwork in 1998. I was commissioned in the Staff Specialist Branch (Chaplain Corps) ARNG. Good luck on your process. Blessings.

I am going on exactly 3 months since my commission date. My recruiter just told me today that I've been approved for orders and should receive them in the next day or so. Good luck!

I was commisioned as a 72 D and it took about 3 weeks to get my orders of Commission and another week for my orders to my first unit. So if it goes as what it happened to me, in about another 3 or 4 weeks or so you will get an email from your branch manager with a list of places where they have positions where they need 70B's. They usually will give you 6 options and you must rank then from the one you like the most to the least. You will wait for about another 2-3 weeks and they will send you orders, with which one of the six you will get. I got my 3rd choice when I was a Direct commission.
However, because 70B is a large group of Officer's it may take longer to send orders.
You need to contact your recruiter if you haven't heard by 3 months. But read your letter and see if it says the date of your Officer leadership course.
