I'm not sure what happened to the "unofficial" FEDREC status board that had been periodically updated with scroll status' but it seems to have been retired, missing, or removed. In any case, please feel free to use this new thread to ask questions and post updates to our little '"Promotion Purgatory Support Group". I do not work for NGB so I will not be able to get you answers, but at least we can re-establish the forum.
Best of luck to y'all!
Recommendation from previous comments-
STOP! Please read: If you are here, you want info on how long scrolls are taking or to see the status of your scroll. Help the next person by posting your experience. Once your orders are published, come back and make a new response to the original post with your scroll number, date your FEDREC was sent to NGB and the date your orders published.
If we get more people to post, the data gets more reliable and useful. You can then see if your scroll is an outlier and you can raise a flag with your command.
I'm sure people come by and read these posts without adding to the discord. Join the community and help the next person!
If you agree, VOTE THIS UP so it's one of the first responses people see when they stumble in.
Best of luck to y'all!

First and foremost; if you are on this thread; congratulations as that means that you have entered the final step in advancing to the next grade and should be commended! Now comes the period of ‘I have to wait for….. how long until I pin?’ where I think I speak for 99% of us when I say that going into this (for me a UVP FEDREC) I had little to no understanding of the FEDREC process and what to expect timeline wise.
Setting the background; I’m a T10 AGR with my touchback being the SCARNG JFHQ, I was already T10 PRR select became O5 eligible when I PCS’d 17JUL23, and want to share my experience to 1) help those who come after me avoid some of the pitfalls that result in delays and 2) build better expectation management. NOTE: this is 100% an ‘individual (board) experiences will vary’, so some may apply… some may not.
BLUF: Total days eligible for promotion to O5: 199 / Total Days in DoD Approval Cycle: 83
On 17JUL23 I PCS’d and entered an O5 PARA/LIN, making me O5 Unit Vacancy Promotion (UVP) eligible. 7 days after this SCARNG JFHQ received my packet (24JUL23), and it wasn’t until 59 days later (21SEP23) that it was returned to NGB. This was WITH regularly reaching out to voice my specific concern about being pulled into the DA Board process and its deadline; despite this, the JFHQ S1 POC assigned to work T10 Officer packets did not know 1) what to do with packets, 2) the DA Board pull dates (19SEP). By pure luck, I happen to talk to the SCARNG SR HR Warrant on 21SEP who realized the issue and through a huge individual effort that day, was able to get the packet pulled from the DA Board to back to the UVP. HUGE Shout out to CW4 L. and SSG S. of SCARNG for the effort and save on this one as had they not, it would have delayed the promotion by an additional year plus!
Key take away for the State Level Portion: Per SCARNG G1 NGB no longer requires State CMB Minutes (do not have an official reference for this, just email traffic) therefor this step should be an extremely quick state level turn. (e.g. 5… not 59 days)
Once my packet returned to NGB I included a graph / break out of how long it took to move through the process. Finally, have seen a few RFIs on the date colors in the G1 portal, I had the following Green: 0-59 days, White: 60-61 days, Yellow: 62-83. I have heard it rolls red after 100 days… cannot verify though.
Final Note: I was told in no uncertain terms that my DoR would be backdated to 17JUL23, the date I was first eligible… yea.. that didn’t happen. Was told it’s the later of either: The board posting date OR The date you’re in the Para/Lin for your next grade.
