So, a non-idle question....
What is the longest it has taken for YOUR evaluation to reach you?
This seems in my experience to be a chronic problem in the Reserve components. Please select an option or if you have one of the epic > 1 year ones, would love to hear it.

I chose 181-365 days because you didn't list "indefinite." I retired in November of 2012 and I never did receive my final/retirement evaluation!

I had one languish in nowhere's ville for three years before it was illegally put into my iPERMS. It was put there without my signature, so technically I am still waiting to sign it.
It was a referred OER that my senior command did completely incorrectly. Unfortunately, my behavior supported the referred nature of the OER. One instance, one night, one time - is all it takes, regardless of how the rest of the time for that rating period had gone. However, Jag told them that it had been done incorrectly and then they still found a general officer who would sign off on force-feeding into My iPERMS. A 29 page DA level IG investigative report and a MFR signed by that same two star later, and it is now out of my records.
On active duty I rarely had to wait more than 30 days for any evaluation. After I joined the Guard it typically went 90-120. However for the most part all of my evaluations have been very timely except this one where a senior commander that did not like me found the ability to try to crush my career due to a very poor judgment on my behalf.

On Active Duty, I have seen Officer's wait up to around 18 months (in some cases) to receive a completed OER signed and blocked of by the Senior Rater.
But, as I told the officers' that I rated, that the delay (at least on Active Duty) was often based on a Senior Rater delaying it so they do not break their Senior Rater Profile as it pertains to Above Center Mass (Top Block) ratings. I would often explain to them, a delay is a good thing because a quick turn on an OER by the Senior Rater (minus the officer going up to a board) normally meant you were getting a Center of Mass or worse rating. I would counsel them, if they wanted me to go to the Senior Rater and demand the OER as soon as possible I would, but a Senior Rater can not bust their Senior Rater Profile, so if they are at risk of busting their profile, you can kind of figure out what you are going to get. "if you want it bad, you're going to get it bad".

I had 2, back to back, that took 6 months to make it to me for signature.... maybe that's why it took me 9 years to pin SFC?

I will let you know. I have an eval that was due at the beginning of June that's not in yet, and it's preventing me from being able to get a complete-the-record OER for my first look by the CW3 promotion board......

Usually on time, now it is another story for when it properly is posted to IPERMS. I know have an AER that is going on 9 months without being properly posted.
