Why is there such a long wait for reserve component officer and warrant federal recognition/promotion?

U03-19 check IPERMS, got mine, DOR 14 March

Come on Update

It's funny waiting for this, because it's pins and needles every day and then once it comes, its on to the next thing in life and mostly forgotten.

Where are you getting these updates? CPT (Join to see)

MAJ (Join to see) - gotcha, no I've been glued to the most recent posts showing the scroll updates hoping for good news before the release from my state expires. Maybe I will and they'll make me feel better about all of this haha

ALCON,
I know this is not the best pic but here is the latest update as of 07 DEC.

Any updates on this from Jan 19?

Thanks for letting me know that the Fedrec tracker was down! Jesus.. I've been showing packet acceptance since November 30. I got scared that it was showing at that level.

Thanks!

Ma'am, would you mind emailing your contact about scroll statuses? I was just wondering if there had been any movement in the last 2 weeks.

MAJ (Join to see) - Anyone have their orders post in IPerms for P10-18?

Would you mind sharing your POC to get scroll updates? If they have an out of office message active, we won't even have to bother them. Someone needs to keep the updates coming!

CPT (Join to see) - I believe MAJ (Join to see) would have that info sir.

MAJ (Join to see) I get the info from someone's out of office response. They updated this as they receive the information.

UPDATE: Awaiting Off of Sec of Defense approval; P10-18; 178 Days in DoD Approval cycle

Believe it or not but the G1 portal tracker says that too. Only took a solid month plus to update. Hopefully the Sec Def approval only takes a few days, if that.

So, probably another 4wks before we see anything...

Vice Chief of Staff of the Army.
Its been a while since this was posted so I'll just refresh...

T09-18?

Wonder if this will hold me up going Reserve AGR. I submitted my App on HRC site and will be in the August board. Can anyone enlighten me??

1LT(P) Q J. - Yeah I was hopeful to get on Active Duty under the CAD MILPER 18-56, because it didn't state that WOs had to have WOBC complete. It simply stated that we needed to have experience, education, and training in our field. Well that Milper message has since been updated and now it states WO1 have to have WOBC complete before being considered. I am not even scheduled to start WOBC until March 2019, so now I am hopeful for the reserve AGR option.

Does anyone have reference to S01-18. I did not see it on CW4 Bruce's screenshot. I checked the G1 FEDREQ tracker, but it appears to be behind based on scrolls that have published over the last week?
Thanks!

.

On "My AKO/ORB/FED REC status" tab, does anyone know what the colors (Red, Amber, Green) represent when it's filled in on top of the "number of days in the scroll"? Today, mine shows "120 days in the scroll" but it just has the white background without any color. Yesterday, it was amber/yellow with 119 days. Just curious.

Sir, on day 121 it will turn red. There is no significance that day 120 is white. Probably just a glitch, it happened to me too.

How about P05-18? any eyes on that?

It would be awesome of your reliable source could give an update to P15-17 before the weekend?

Any word on the status of P05-18?

LTC (Join to see) - Did the LTC ever respond to you regarding the status of your scroll? Thanks.

CPT (Join to see) - Yikes! Thanks for the info. Now I have somewhat of realistic target amount of days to expect. 2-3 more months I guess. I'm sure the holiday season threat of government shutdowns didn't help us out... smh... thanks again tho.

Chief,
Any chance you can get the screen updated reflecting current status S01-18 and other current scrolling packets?

Sir, pick the option above the posts to "sort by newest" and there will be updated info near the top....

Any way you can get an updated list for almost 2 months later? Im on L04-17 and my FEDREC G1 page says JAG, but this says DMPM so Im curious to what this list would say now. where do you find this? 218 days in the process for us 04-17 guys and gals.

Negligence, apathy, and overall complacency are traits that cause systems to deteriorate to the point of utter disrepair. Unless the NGB purges their workforce and replaces them with government and contract employees who truly care about this country and the military, the NGB will continue into perpetuity to be a symbol of ineptitude at its worst. If I was the NGB, I would be embarrassed to stand before the SECDEF's desk, after which he may suggest they close the door behind them to receive a..ahem...good ole fashioned talking to. What the NGB did is not how SMs are supposed to be treated. Disgraceful, utterly disgraceful.

Word on the street U06-17 was signed by SEC DEF

I am U06-18, I know ...I know... I need to be patient right? This process is ridiculous when you consider all we are required to do to get promoted. Normally it would not be such a big deal but since I am deployed it is a big pay difference. My Fed Rec status has not changed in more than a month. If anyone knows of another tracker please point me in that direction.
Thanks brothers!

CW3 (Join to see) - I'm on U06-18 as well for promotion to CW5 and I have been checking the tracker probably more than I should because it is really depressing to see absolutely no movement. I checked it this morning however and it has finally made a move. My packet was submitted to NGB on Feb 1st, 2018 so I'm prepared for an end of the year order being published. CW4 David Morrow

CPT(P) CM
Your story sounds just like mine. My order was published October 21st. It was over 90 days before it appeared to start moving in the scroll. I understand that Army wants to ensure it promoting the right people and no one slips through the cracks but this is become silly. I am just hoping the scroll publishes before August (AT).

What was the total days on your counter when it was all said and done

No wonder the NG has a retention problem.

1LT (Join to see) It's good to see you again, even if its because of the same issue when we were 2LT's!

It seems like the scroll process is getting faster once you are on one. NGB took 4 months to get me on a scroll.

CW3 (Join to see) - Where are you getting the updates? Can you post another one?

MAJ (Join to see) - Ma'am, I get them from a Senior Warrant in my state or an email message, but I haven't seen anything since the 13 May update.

CW3 (Join to see) - Can you post another update?

The updates above just means you are complete with that process. As you both note, yours says awaiting, so yours is in between offices.

CPT(P) (Join to see) it made me happy to see that it had updated when I looked at it today.

Sure are a lot of scrolls at JAG

Do you have an update?

Thank you so much for posting this!

U(d) 11-18 - Check iPerms for Orders <----update that is what I was waiting for thank you so much Chief.

P12-18 orders were published on 14 December.

D11-18 Published 14 December as well.

That would be great! Currently pre-mobing so I'll be in theater when that happens and looking forward to it!

Any word on when a newer update will be made available? Thanks!

CW5 (Join to see) Do you have any more recent updates?

Sorry, I havent forgot!
No updates in a while. I hadnt realized it had been so long. I'll see if I can nudge for another....

Conrats!!!! Appreciate your support on this blog!

Glad to see so many scrolls published this week. I hope this is the new trend moving forward.

Chief,
Was wondering, usually Warrant scrolls go pretty quick through the process but I have been noticing that all the P0-18 scrolls have been going through super fast compared to the Warrants? P04, P05, P06, P07 are all I believe at the SecDef already. I am on scroll U04-18 and still sitting at (Awaiting Off of Dir of Mil Pers Mgmt) Just some thoughts.

I have been watching U04, have a couple of people in my Bde on it. I really dont think there is any hard effort at making one or the other faster. I think it is mostly based on the number of people on a scroll, and just when it hits the desk. U04 is a little exceptional as it has 112 on the scroll, vs 63 on U01 and 77 on U02.
The good news is that at least on my report from NGB CCWO, there was not a U03. I dont know why, maybe it just get left off the list I got back in Jan, but it may well be you guys are next, and its just the size of the list thats taking a little extra time...
Good news is DPRO is showing U04 at DMPM about 32 days. U01 was there about 31, 10 days at SecArmy and 52 at OSD. Although, dont go exactly by those numbers. I firmly believe that scrolls are processed in each office on a schedule, rather than as they arrive. That means they may get done, for example "every other Friday" or something, and it just matters when yours hits in that cycle. It could be 2 days if it arrives at the last minute, or 2 weeks, if it comes right after the cutoff.
Pentagon offices LIVE on routine. There's way too much going on to just drop everything. When I was at G2, we had to have read-aheads in something like a week or two ahead. What I hated was that usually what I was briefing had totally changed in the time between the read-ahead and the meeting (especially because the meeting usually got pushed back a few days). But, I learned to live with it.
I'm not implying it was chaos. Only saying its the way people handle things. 3 & 4-star signatures require a lot of work! More than any Reservist can usually imagine, if they haven't done a staff tour.

MAJ (Join to see) - Congrats again!! Well deserved. Did P11-17 gain the longest scroll count crown, or does P10-17 still own it? :)

CPT (Join to see) - No, unfortunately, P11 only got to 330 days so you guys still own the title of the most highly vetted officers in the history of the Army FEDREC system.

MAJ (Join to see) - It's a dubious honor...I'd say with just 3 days in between, we're tied. ;)

MAJ (Join to see) - HA!! Can I put that on an OER bullet????

Anyone have a pub or reference for this process?

Hello

Here's another issue to this lengthy and idiotic process. I'm currently sitting on scroll D16-17 and am now at 210 days as of today for promotion to CW2. For me, I get my DOR backdated and the difference in pay. For CW3's and up, they don't have that luxury. So, those folks now have to stay in for another year to get the full benefits of retirement at that rank (if they choose to). One of my fellow Warrants in my unit was looking to retire out of the Guard and had plans set up once he picked up CW3. He now has to put those plans off for another year or more just because of the scroll taking as long as it is. Not only is this an issue, but morale is also suffering because of it. To make matters worse, the scrolls behind me are at the same point I am in far less time.

I've heard, but cannot find, there is legislation currently in Congress at the sub-committee levels to address this issue. I personally now a CW3 that was on the scroll for over 400 days which is border line criminal! I fully understand that we have Soldiers getting promoted with issues in their past but we're holding up an entire list of people waiting to get promoted because of these people. Why does the Army insist on punishing the masses over the few? That question has always baffled me.

Might be a dumb question, but I cannot find anything telling me what the (d) stands for? anyone know?

WO1(P) (Join to see) - The (d) refers to W1-W2 promotions. They are scrolls that are not in the same priority category simply because W1-W2 can get backdated orders to the time of eligibility.

Anyone have any info on scroll U23-20? There seems to be nothing on it, and it has been showing "0" days in the tracker for a while now. Its weird because there seem to be later scrolls already ahead of it (I know they aren't always in order though).

CW2 John G That is not encouraging. The only thing I know about U23-20 is that on the individual fedrec trackers it still shows 0 days. However it has said that for almost 2 months I believe.

Anything new as of Today Chief? I heard these were updated every Thursday as long as you receive a status update from the fed rec folks. My scroll has been at OSD for about a month now.

CW2 (Join to see) - Just checked Andy and still see the last update as 7 Dec 18. I will continue to monitor it.

MAJ Kahren Aydinyan - I was on P01-18 and my DOR is May 4 ... so now I out rank folks on earlier scrolls (P15-17) than me ... system is sooo jacked.

MAJ (Join to see) - Yes it's super jacked up.

210 days

Here is mine:
Awaiting Secretary of the Army (Day 0 forever)
Awaiting Chief of Staff (Day 0 forever)
Awaiting Off of Judge Advocate General (JAG; around day 141) - took 41 days in this stage
Awaiting Dir of Mil Pers Mgmt (DPMP; around day 182) - took around 33 days in this stage
Secretary of the Army (Day 215) - took around 11 days in this stage
Secretary of Defense (SECDEF) (Day 226 - Day 247) - took around 21 days in this stage - although date of rank was about 7 days prior to publishing.
