What would happen if a USAR SMP Cadet gets commissioned into NG before their conditional release from the USAR gets approved?

Commissioning on May 12. But the conditional release package is not yet signed by the USARC. Would this prevent me getting commissioned on time?

I agree with COL Williams. Paperwork can often lag behind action. I was in the same boat a while back, I don't remember needing or waiting on a conditional release. As a cadet your expected to leave once you get commissioned.

Once you graduate ROTC (the day prior); they'll do a separation memo from USAR. Then your gaining state will just do a commissioning packet. It's recommended to get with your recruiting command for the gaining state and speak with the coordinator there. That's at least how PA does it... Good luck!

You actually belong to Reserve Officer Training Corps first. You would be commissioned on time but still belong to your current unit until the conditional release was approved but you would be commissioned into the Reserves on time with your class with future assignment to be determined.
