DA PAM 635-40, Chapter 2, Section 2-2 states for Active Duty timeline
2–2. Timelines for Active Component
a. The installation retention office, through the career counselor, provides the Soldier’s unit commander, or the first commander in the grade of O–5 or higher in the Soldier’s chain of command, a copy of the Soldier’s Department of the Army (DA) Form 3349 (Physical Profile), hereafter referred to as P3/P4 profile. The MAR2 process must be completed within 28 days after the battalion commander receives the profile, unless the commander extends the time for reasons listed in paragraph 2–2b.
b. The commander has 14 days to complete and forward the MAR2 packet to the installation retention office. The commander may extend this time by 14 days to consult with the profiling medical officer. The commander notifies the installation retention office when the time is extended. Extensions are not to exceed 14 days.
c. The U.S. Army Human Resources Command (AHRC) Retention Reclassification Branch (RRB) enters its decision into the Retention/Reclassification System within 14 days of receiving the Soldier’s MAR2 packet.
d. The installation career counselor forwards the decision report to the unit commander within 1 day of receiving the decision report. The unit commander notifies the Soldier of the MAR2 decision within 2 days of receiving the decision report.
e. If a unit commander grants a Soldier an extension of time to prepare an appeal, the unit commander notifies the AHRC RRB of the extension.
f. When transmitting an appeal to the appellate authority, the installation retention office forwards only the AHRC RRB’s decision report with the appeal and any supporting documents.

I’m tracking that it’s supposed to be only take 14 days but it’s going on 3 months now I’ve still yet to hear anything back. I got with my retention and they’re saying it’s at HRC. Has anyone else’s taken this long?
