Don't start a new one. Having two packets will make the confusion worse. I'd follow up, first through channels, and then through open door policy. My tactic would be "can you explain where we are in the process and what I can do to resolve any questions/issues?"

Keep in mind that a conditional release is not just a "paper drill", all parties have to be good with it for it to happen. Just like a voluntary TPU to TPU transfer, any party can kill it.

Hold tight.
Phrases, such as, "very quickly" and "forever seems like," provides those who may have been through the process zero ability to compare their experience with your experience.
Definitely don't submit a second request, and don't complain (yet).
Definitely do exercise patience, and continue to perform.
If you want better advice, provide a timeline so those with experience in this matter can provide their experiences, even though each request will have it's own timeline.
Do remember that the state doesn't have to agree to release you, so if it is denied you need to be prepared to continue to perform so a later request will have the support of lower echelons.
I would gather more information before requesting use of any open door policy.

No, just wait and prepare to file an extension of the approval with your recruiter (just in case the 368 expires before you are released from your unit for active duty).

The TAG is the actual approval authority

Did you do anything to get it through TAG? Or you wait it out?
