Should I be concerned if I am 150+ days waiting for the FedRec cycle (promotion orders are from May 2016)?

May of 2016? There might be something going on there. Have you talked to your OPM?

Not enough info. If you're in the promoted group, you should check and see where you are in that zone. They try to clear everyone through by the end of the next FY unless they're bumping up against a body count problem at the next higher rank (doesn't make sense for O-2). If you're in the group but your individual promotion is being held, that's a different story. A call into the S-1 and HR shop is in order.

I wish I could say that this was an isolated event, although orders from May 2016 sounds extreme even by these standards.https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/why-is-there-such-a-long-wait-for-reserve-component-officer-and-warrant-federal-recognition-promotion?page=4&urlhash=3002950#3002950

Why is there such a long wait for reserve component officer and warrant federal...

Can anyone tell me why the process takes so long for RC officer/warrant promotions to run through the FedRec cycle? I'm an ARNG officer and I've had my state promotion orders for CPT since the middle of April. I've been tracking my packet on the ARNG-G1 website and it was awaiting addition to a scroll until a month ago and last week the scroll was ready to start the approval DoD cycle. Thoughts?

Don’t sweat it brother. They are incredibly backed up right now and most fed recs are taking that long. You should see something come through in the next 30 to 60 days.

No man. Your promotion will be backdated and you’ll get back pay.

Thanks everyone for the responses. Guess I will revisit this in another couple months. based off the responses it may take that long
