Hello,
I am currently awaiting orders to DCC/BOLC and permanent duty station. I spoke to the career manager about DCC/BOLC dates as well as my next duty station around 5 weeks ago. However, I am still currently waiting for the actual orders to be cut and sent to me. Being prior service, I know that the Army can move at a slow pace, but I am needing to hurry and complete an overseas EFMP screening for my dependents since my duty station is OCONUS. How long does it typically take to receive orders after speaking with the Career Manager?

You can probably expect your orders to be delayed until late September, as the Army and Army Reserve are freezing personnel actions while they transition from eMILPO to IPPS-A.
Regardless, DCC and BOLC are long enough for an EFMP screening to finish.

Need a little bit of background.
1) Have you Scrolled? You need to get a date if you haven't
2) If you have scrolled, have you at least taken the oath of office and have a DA-71? You should've at least sworn into the reserves until you get your active-duty orders where you swear in with a DA-71 for AC orders either at the recruiter or at DCC ( heck I saw people Swearing into Active duty at bolc, getting a new DA-71)
If 1 hasn't happened. You will be waiting until congress meets for scrolls and when that happens, its pretty much a toss up.
2) Hasn't happened. Talk to the AMEDD recruiter. HRC can't cut orders until you are processed in as a officer.
3) While speaking to the career manager, did they confirm with you the dates for DCC/BOLC? if they did, usually you get orders cut within 2-4 weeks from DCC (regardless of AC/RC , as HRC cuts these orders) . But as SGM (Join to see) stated IPPS-A transition will cause delays in getting orders.

Thank you for the response, Sir! I have read that in the past new Direct Commission Officers swore into the reserve, but I believe that recently changed. I was advised that we do not swear in anymore with the recruiters and that we only swear in and sign the DA71 once we get to DCC. As far as my scroll, it was thankfully completed prior to my board date. DCC/BOLC dates have been confirmed as well as my duty station. I am now just waiting on actual orders to come from HRC. I do believe the transition to IPPS-A might be causing this delay.

Update: Originally I assumed the transition to IPPS-A is causing my orders to be delayed. The Career Manager informed me that the transition is being pushed to the right for the time being and the timeline to receive orders will not be affected. However, I was also informed that he “should have the orders started” this week. Hopefully I will not lose my course dates and/or duty assignment since it has been over 6 weeks since we discussed these details.
