How long is the process of approval for a religious exemption?

I was wondering if anyone could give me guidance or insight on the process and timeframe. I'm Heathen. I'm requesting to grow a beard. PFC Private RallyPoint Member SFC Joe S.

It will depend on the approval authority. The higher the climb, the longer the wait

You will need to be more specific.

Why would you need an exemption, unless you converted to Adventist, or Islamic?

If you are going to bring this question to class, I think you should specify what it is you are seeking an exemption for, and why.

Damn Cody, you are a pot stirrer for sure. Not enough info- exception for what in religion? And then it depends on how high it was to go for approval. Get on the stick-son.

Your post lacks specifics. Exemption from what? It isn't enough to say religious exemption.

Maybe your CO, Captain Zhang or his senior NCO can answer this question. He's on Rally Point too.

Everyone wants exemptions now, huh? Let me guess, you discovered you were a Heathen after you volunteered to join and abide by the current regulations? I can’t wait to retire.
