Anyone else on scroll P05-17 for promotion?

Our S1 offers reps, our G1's at state and this scrolling process....on top of going through vacancy review...is an incredible injustice to our soldiers. I've been in the promotion process for almost two years. Still a 1LT.

Happy 141st day sitting in the dusty queue with nothing going on, no updates and no hope of it moving either. Awesome. This promotion will be ongoing for TWO YEARS for me in August.

.....and we have an update:
Awaiting Off of Sec of Defense approval; P06-17; 141 Days in DoD Approval cycle

NGB orders posted in IPERMS yesterday for P06-17, effective date of promotion 9 Aug 17

1LT Christopher T. - I have not been able to contact anyone.

SFC Chrissy Palmer at NGB. I'm not sure of her number and I'm not near my computer, but she's in global. I talked to her a couple of weeks ago. My state deputy G1 also talked to someone. Apparently, 4 officers are being pulled off of the scroll for various issues in CID or DAIG checks. It was supposed to have already happened.

MAJ (Join to see) - well considering I have a recent TS and haven't broken the damn law, I should still be on the scroll. My G1 hasn't given any update. This is ridiculous though.

This is a problem with the scroll process that needs to be addressed. Everyone is held up because of someone else's background.

Thanks for that info. If P05-17 were to take the same amount of time (191 days in the scroll process), our approval date would be 12 August 2017. As we all know, no two scrolls have taken the same amount of time to get through the pipeline, but I think we can all agree that it'll still be a while. Hopefully we'll see another update to the tracker soon.

LTC (Join to see) - Too true. I also think that the transitions between administrations definitely impacted the process. I'm sure more so in some cases than others. I think mine, P02-017, was at JAG so long simply because the DOD had not completed their transition yet when it should have gone to the SECDEF's office. Purely conjecture, but it fits the timeline. According to the NGB FEDREC packet manager, SFC Palmer, once signed by SECDEF, it usually takes two weeks to get it back to NGB and for the orders to publish.

Looks like P05-17 is moving faster than recent scrolls. Today's update shows it at Office of the SECDEF as some others have mentioned, and we are 111 days into the scroll counter. I hope we might see something within the next month. Good news for everyone on P05-17.

It's just the standard Green, Amber, Red scale to show how something is progressing compared to the "standard" timeline.

1LT (Join to see) - Sybil, all promotions for 1LT and CPT will be back paid. Any promotion from CPT to MAJ and above are not back paid. The official DOR is when the SEC DEF signs off on the order. Because that is the official DOR, any promotions to MAJ and above only get back pay from that date. However, all 1LT and CPT promotions are back paid to the official scroll start date. Lucky you! Furthermore, if you would like to contact someone, this is my POC at NGB... [login to see] . I've only left messages because she hasn't answered my calls. Good luck trying to make contact.

Correction to comment regarding back pay: Promotion to CPT is not back paid. You are only back paid from the official date of rank (i.e. when SECDEF signs off).

Hello,

I spoke to a CW2 Brad Stockham and explained the process of what could be the reason of the delay.

Please see the attached message.

Hope this helps...

LT. H. Anderson

MAJ (Join to see) - Thank you for the update. A very frustrating process so say the least.

Background checks? That doesn't make any sense. Since when do officers go through a background check during a promotion?

So if a few packets get sent back for corrections the entire scroll is put behind?

212 days now...this is absurd!

OUR SCROLL MOVED!!! HOLY COW I CAN"T BELIEVE IT!!!
