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

I've had enlisted soldiers who have done this and it takes a very long time.

Usually, if it's an officer, the approval authority is the TAG (since it will take a while). If you received a GRFD or DEDNG scholarship, that complicates things. If you're not currently fedrec'ed in your rank, that also complicates things.

I would say 6 months on average. The Guard does not want to lose its officers. Depending on where you're at and if you're in a needed MOS, you might get push back.

Shocked they signed it. The first O7 in the chain is the release authority.

It is not unheard of to have these take this long, but starting to get on the fringe of expectations. I would note what time of year it is; lots of people on leave for extended periods this time of year tends to disrupt the staff channels pretty good.

I would suggest sending up an inquiry, as this is a situation that might get lost in the shuffle.

Of course I found unit and did the leg work

When I did it, it took less than a month

NG is more political because it affects the state more so when you plan to transfer to the reserves. Analogy you are leaving a red head for a blond, patience lots of patience.
