What are my chances of having my DD368 denied beyond the company level?

@PFC Morgan Komarek Your responsibility is to keep track of your DD368. Your quest, your responsibility to monitor the application.

You are in the Guard, the approval authority for your DD 368 is your state G1.
Your BN and BDE merely recommend approval or disapproval. Regardless of their recommendation, your BN and BDE are responsible for forwarding that request to your G1 in a timely manner, and getting it back to your company in a timely manner once the G1 has approved or disapproved.
Once your company has forwarded your request, it should get to the G1 in about 4 weeks.
Starting on week 5, your company should be asking for updates every Monday until it is at G1.

First, good luck. Second, please remember each case is different and considers a number of factors. Remember that you are a person to your Company (and possibly Battaluon) Commander, but above that you are a number. And each number in the ranks equals $$$ from the federal level for your component. If your 368 arrives near that $$ determination date, it will likely be delayed or denied. Double-slotted in your position is irrelevant if your MOS is under strength across the board - again it’s numbers. And the arguement that “Big Army” is a greater good doesn’t fly since you signed a contract with the NG - and for awhile I saw 368s denied until over 50% of the initial contract time had been met. I saw more 368s denied than approved and some of the “no-brainers” I had to fight hard for. My worst one was a young kid who was essentially homeless and unemployed but denied due to the numbers and contract issue with the added “the Army is not a charitable organization or an employment agency.” Now that was cold!

Again, good luck.
