Currently waiting in Ft.Lee , My separation packet was submitted to Soldier Support for my orders, they had told me 72hrs to 5 days, it’s been two weeks... is there a delay they didn’t tell me about?

The delay is that you are the very lowest priority at a training post. There are thousands of Soldiers training and receiving orders. Those orders have deadlines they have to be cut in time to meet. You are literally able to be pushed to the back burner for months if necessary while the MPD catches up to all the urgent problems. If there is a delay the MPD isn't going to contact you either. They'll cut them when they have a chance to.

72 hours to 5 days? I've seen administrative separations take months. I'm not sure why they gave you such a silly timeline.

So this whole process started about 10 weeks ago. That's moving at light speed for the Army. You'll get your orders when you get them.

I'm going to assume that
1: they're backed up because - you guessed it COVID and most HR are teleworking and civilians who don't give a crap about timelines
or
2: they're in your mail.mil along with 34,986,234,875 other emails E4 and below never log into to read
