1LT Private RallyPoint Member 2882826 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Just notified my scroll was signed for promotion to CPT. I&#39;ve been a company commander since March 2016 and my new DOR is this week. The only explanation I have for that 543 day delay is bureaucracy. Anyone have an idea of why reserve officer promotions are taking 18 months? 2017-08-31T18:23:54-04:00 1LT Private RallyPoint Member 2882826

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The process is a real mess that&#39;s for sure.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Its the FEDREC process which takes so long. Now officers of all grades must go through the same process (with some added steps for COL and above). Plenty of discussions on here about it.

I&#39;m an ARNG officer and I&#39;ve had my state promotion orders for CPT since the middle of April. I&#39;ve been tracking my packet on the ARNG-G1 website and it was awaiting addition to a scroll until a month ago and last week the scroll was ready to start the approval DoD cycle.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Sir I really believe it’s just a way for states to save money. My scroll just got published today after 211 days in the cycle. I lost out on thousands of dollars that I won’t be back paid from a year of SAD.
