Is anyone on Scroll L03-17? Do you have any info as to what is going on with it & why did it go back to ASA(M&RA) from being at the SECDEF?

I'm in that scroll. I'm looking at it now and it still reads, "Awaiting Off of Sec of Defense approval; L03-17; 150 Days in DoD Approval cycle"

Scrolls normally take 6-8 weeks once it’s generated but can take a little longer. Lately it’s averaged 8-9 weeks.

I just talked to the J1 Rep who submits FED REQ to NGB we were pending publishing. However on 28 AUG it was kicked back from SecDef to have errors fixed and will be resubmitted back to SedDef. I was given an estimate of an additional 30 to 60 Days this can only be seen in DPRO.

In this wonderful holiday season and the stereotypical fedrec comment, "well at least you get backpay" what is everyone's state order clock? Mine is 303 days

As I lay my head down to sleep last night and my mind slipt away into the abyss of R.E.M I found myself in a grassy field with a knoll in the middle. As the sun began to rise from behind the knoll a figure emerged from this heavenly light riding a gallant stead. I didn't know him but he seemed all to familiar in the recesses of my soul. As he rode by I glanced up. He merely paused, and glanced down at me. Those eyes said to me "Not Yet, Butters" As I awoke I felt under my pillow and found a square piece cloth with OCP and a black rectangle on it. I now knew the rider was the FedReq Fairy. As I clutched the rank in my hands and cried out from the inner reaches of my soul I thought, " I cant believe it's not butter" Then I looked up and cursed the FedReq Fairy and the ethereal gods who sent him.

I'm on this list as well. We're about to hit 200 days. I'm hoping it might publish soon.

Who has a POC in order to get a status update. I hate the thought of just watching these days count up and not even being able to verbally speak with someone. A phone number anyone? Or any guidance as to who I could contact?

I'm going to plan a special celebration when i reach my 1 year mark for promotion eligibility, which is in February if I do not get this FedReq back before then.

Survey: Guardsmen Wait Years for Promotions

Washington Report (November 21, 2017) More than 500 National Guard officers have responded to a NGAUS survey regarding wait times for federally recognized promotions, and several say they have waited more than a year. In fact, a few have waited more than 1,000 days to receive the promotion they have earned.

For those of you who are not S1Net members, I would highly recommend to join. S1NET on milBook, is a community of professionals sharing HR knowledge Army-wide & world-wide, across all components through conversation in context of current operations. One of those topics was "Why does NGB take so long in processing their promotion scrolls?"

For O-grades, HQDA accepts six promotion scrolls submissions from NGB per quarter equating to two per month. Of those six, only one can be a junior grade (2LT to 1LT promotion). While promotions are a function of the state, promotions are not effective until federal recognition has been extended per 10 USC 14308(f). However, your promotion to 1LT is automatic per 32 USC 310. What this means is that even though there is a delay in the publishing of the federal recognition orders for your promotion to 1LT, the effective date is backdated to the date on your NGB Form 78. Considering these facts, pay and "maximum years of service in grade" are not affected by this delay. It is important to remember that your state promotion orders merely starts the process for promotion, but your promotion must be approved by the Secretary of Defense since you are a commissioned officer, and grade changes of commissioned officers can only be granted by the president, which has been delegated to the SecDef and cannot be further delegated. In addition, promotions to 1LT & CW2 are the only promotions backdated to the state orders/NGB Form 78 as this is specifically mandated by law, 32 USC 310.

I hope this helps and if you have questions on how to join the S1Net, let me know.

Well, I found a flow chart and here is what I understand:
SECDEF (OSD)
Gen Counsel of DOD
Asst Sec Def Mil Pers Pol
Asst Sec Def Force Mgmt
UnderSecDef Pers&Readi
Dep Sec Def
Signature
Quality Control and orders preparation: HRP-A
Federal Recognition Order Publication and distribution: HRP-A (Publication)

What I don't understand is, LTC and below are supposed to stop at SECDEF, get signed, then published. Why did ours go past the SECDEF and on to Gen Counsel? This makes no sense. I'm glad it changed, but WTF. My guess is we still have another month to go.
