How long does it take an ETP to be approved by G1, DCS and HRC for ADOS? https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/how-long-does-it-take-an-etp-to-be-approved-by-g1-dcs-and-hrc-for-ados <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Can anyone know the required time does it take an ETP to be approved through G1, DCS and HRC for ADOS? If know things are slow. The ADOS unit informed me that they’re waiting for ETP. Tour of Duty stated it has been uploaded and waiting for next level.<br /><br />However, HRC seems to take its time. Process is strange.

If that&#39;s the case, they are determining if they need you enough to approve someone qualifying for a full AD retirement, which can be a big investment, depending on how old you are.
