Hello, sorry for the silly question. I was shown the g1 self-service portal and that was the extent of the knowledge given to me about promoting from O1 to O2.
"Awaiting scrolling and DoD approvals; L02-23; 0 Days in DoD Approval cycle"
Could anyone break this down for me? From researching online, I gathered that there is a delay in the process.

This article explains it pretty well. In short, since you are not a federal Soldier your promotion has to be approved by the federal government. You name gets added to a scroll and has to be approved by congress. This can take months. The article said it can take up to a year. If you are promoted in your state you can wear the rank. If you were activated in a title 10 status you would revert back to you federally recognized rank. Luckily, POTUS is trying to address this delay. I was in the Guard as a officer for a while and this was an extremely frustrating system that doesn't need to be.

New law to reform Guard officer promotion process, federal recognition
Soon Guard officers will receive backpay when their promotions are delayed.

Thank you, Sir, that was very helpful. I have been mobilized with my unit since Oct 2022 and my 18-month mark since commissioning was in last month Jan 2023.

2LT (Join to see) - In that case this would affect you. I was title 10 and 32 when I was in the Guard. Luckily, 1LT is the only one that you can get back pay for. I was in Ranger School and thought my state would hook me up. After, I got back with my tab I thought I was going to get pinned right away. Nope, they forgot about me. In a few months I was promoted and I got all of my back pay from when I was in Ranger School due to my promotion date being when I was in Ranger School. After 1LT, they don't provide back pay.
