My application for direct commision in the Army was sent off in September and I was notified that I was approved by the board at the end of October. All I am waiting for now is my scroll to come back from congress and I&#39;m getting stir crazy with the wait. Anybody have any idea how much longer I have to wait for the scroll to come back? How long is the usual wait time for a direct commission scroll to fully process? 2020-12-09T17:09:12-05:00 Private RallyPoint Member 6566271 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I graduated PA school in August became board certified August 31st.

With all the delays from government shut downs I would imagine months is the correct answer. If you log into the Army HRC website does it show your rank and other personal data? That might at least let you know they are working on it. Best of Luck!

I just kept myself busy and finally got in. It’s worth the wait in my opinion. I’ve been to Iraq and experienced so many opportunities I would never have in the civilian sector, plus pay and benefits is better. I am in the Nurse Corps, I imagine PA would be similar. Also made many PA friends downrange, your AOC is gold in Army Medicine. Hopefully you won’t have to wait as long and congrats.

I applied for 71B. Got my board approval mid November and have been waiting for scroll process as well. It’s the “hurry up and wait” moment. My recruiter said it could be anywhere from mid December to March that I hear back.

I was approved by the board in October. Received scroll first week of December same year. Just be patient. It’s an election year and also due to covid stuff is probably moving slower. The important thing is you got selected and got moved on for scroll approval and you have a slot.

It&#39;s hard to find a job right now due to my state, Kentucky not being PA friendly and more Nurse Practitioner dominated. I am just anxious to serve my country and finally put my training to use! Again the responses and personal references to your own situations is very very appreciated!

Just keep in touch with your recruiter with a call or text once a week.

The G1 tracker can be delayed by about 2-3 weeks. As the other posters have stated be patient, it will happen, you are on the scroll. My recommendation if you are going to Reserve or Guard is to start working on your credentialing packet. This is the next big step once you receive your commission along with BOLC and basic course.

Congratulations on your selection. I am a NP and was selected to go Active ( Currently reserves). I got promoted to CPT in the reserves, and so they had to submit a new scroll, and it was submitted last month. I’m really hoping I hear something by April. Congratulations.

I commissioned via FAP for 60W general surgeon (I&#39;m a PGY 3 in residency now). I signed my contract back in June 2020. Had to go back to MEPS because the process up to that point took so long that my original physical had expired. Everything was sent in back in September. Now it&#39;s February 2021 and still haven&#39;t received orders, stipend etc. Is this usual?
