How long does it usually take for a DD 368 to get approved for a soldier going from the Reserve component to active duty?

This all varies on the individuals unit. Anywhere from a few weeks to a few months.

So I submitted mine back in December 2017 and It got approved in June. Now just yesterday I got to my first Duty station at Fort Campbell.

I started my process in November 2017 and I finally received the release in July 2018. Make sure to keep following up on the status. Best of luck!

It really depends on your chain of command. If everyone is on the ball, it could go pretty fast, but it only takes one step, any step in the process to slow it down. For example, if the last signature required is from an official who just singed out on 45 days of leave, and no one left in charge has the authority or willingness to sign, 45 more days have been added. There are any number of senairios that can hold it up. Just be patient. It Will work its way through

I put mine in around the end of February and it was approved middle of April. I checked in with my command almost every other week. After the release I was back on active duty in two weeks or so. 3 months into my 3rd MOS school and about to graduate in a month and head to The Great Place!

It took 4 months for mine to be approved. It takes longer for Officers I think because each BN CDR has to explain why we are loosing each officer. For Enlisted, it's probably a 2-3 month turn around. Just keep checking with your unit.
