I completed the 60W (Reserve) Direct Commission process and signed my DA71 and contract in August 2020. Still waiting for HRC orders. I was assured by my recruiters back in August 2021 that they had been sending inquiries to their higher command a few times a month, but not sure of the status now since I’ve had no further communication.
Anyone have any suggestions of anything I can do at this point? Just wait I assume?

So are you actually in the USAR? Are you a CPT, do you have a CAC ID saying as such?
I'm confused by the time line and your use of the CPT rank.
I'm equally suspect you simply were never informed long ago and missed your orders in your mail and or e-mail. Have you checked your iPerms documents? It would be there, and once you log into HRC and iPerms it will identify you as a CPT.
Do you even have mil mail, and a CAC ID?
Otherwise.......... are you even in the USAR?
Yes, the direct commission process is a pain in the ass. I did so myself. But I was a SGT at the time, so I was already in the system. So I could see all my personnel statuses. After submitting the DA71 it was a few weeks still, NOT AN ENTIRE YEAR!!!!! and poof I was a 2LT with orders to my new unit.
Who are you attending battle assemblies with? Ask them..............

If she signed a DA71 and is a provider then CPT would be correct. The rest is interesting.

You may want to contact your recruiter AND HRC poste haste. Like, yesterday call them. Because I am betting that you are on the books for some unit only they, for what ever reason have not reached out to you. Being that you are a 60W, do you know of any Reserve Medical unit near you? If there is, make contact with them to see where the nearest 60W slot is to you (if it ain't them), and see if you can chase this fox down to find your unit.

Specifically the S1 of that unit if you don’t belong to them they can figure out where you go. I’d also call the S1/G1 for the USARC for the area you live in. If all else fails call the reserve component branch manager at HRC.

Doesn't sound normal at all.
Have you contacted the recruiters commander?
Maybe one of our recruiters here in RP can help you out.
