What is too long for a conditional release to be signed?

The Guard moves at its own pace. 3-4 months is normal. That said, the squeaky wheel gets the grease! Never be afraid to be your own best advocate!

SGM Mikel Dawson - Before you "go nuclear" start by asking if the paperwork has even left your unit PAC and if so ask you S-1 or PAC NCO to bird dog it's status. If it's stalled somewhere, let folks know that you are READY and WILLING to walk it through....As the CSM said make sure the packet is complete and IAW the regulations and policies before you show up in a MACOM HQ! It won't help your case to have things fouled up and the G-1 sending you back to your unit after "counseling" you on the paperwork. Good luck LT, and as you climb the ladder in your career, remember this and make sure that your troops don't get left hanging with personnel actions.

SFC Clark Adams - I'm just saying keep on them. don't let time take it's tole. I've found the phone and e-mail a good road to go, have used them many times to get responses.

CPT (Join to see) - NO , if your COC has signed off on the packet, you are not "jumping" anything, you are delivering documents they approved of being sent to your higher higher.....
