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

I don't believe NGB has a clue once it reaches SECDEF (and likely wouldn't ask). They likely wouldn't even want to trouble the Pentagon with such a trivial inquiry. This marks day 175 which equates the total number of days P01-17 spent in scroll (according to the previous forum posts). It's like holding your breath under water. We can now celebrate we went longer than the last group.

CPT (Join to see) - My order was cut at 162.

1LT (Join to see) - Do you have contact info for SFC Palmer? I tried looking in AKO, but no luck

Hope this helps!

That's great news...congrats! Hopefully U01-17 is not far behind. From what I recall my scroll was about 2-3 days behind yours based on the ticker count.

I have not commented on any of the posts, but I have been reading the posts and experiencing the pain with you all. I am on P02-17 and have been patiently waiting along with the rest of you. I work as an aide for our TAG and I will say this issue has been getting A LOT of attention as of lately. I know the CNGB has been made aware in a very "blunt" way from several of the TAGs. The downside with us Guard and Reserve is that for a lot of change to happen for "us" it has to be initiated through our congressional delegates. With that being said here comes the dreaded "Write your congressman" speech. But, seriously take 20 minutes to sit down and write a letter to your governors and congressmen. Include the details good or bad of the process, the being kept in the dark about why it takes so long, families having to wait 10 plus months for a pay raise because of the process, the 13 or so offices it has to go through for whatever reason. We wonder why Soldiers leave the service bitter and upset... This process has been broken for a long time and it is even worse for you Warrant Officers out there! No one at NGB or higher is going to fix the issue themselves. They aren't on scrolls like we are so they aren't waiting to be promoted. I want to congratulate all of the ones that just had their orders published! Hopefully this process will be streamlined in the future. In the meantime we will wait and see what the tracker says tomorrow.

Good addition. That was going to be my next move was to write my congressman. If we all take the time to do that, we stand a chance at getting this fixed. Of just a few say something, nothing will happen.

1LT (Join to see) - Well said! I plan on doing so once my orders get published so I have a clear "it started here & ended here" tale for my reps.

Thanks for the update!

thanks

This could make it better...Esper is a former Guard Soldier.

One can only hope.

This will definitely thrown a wrench into the process.

The system is either down or is not being updated. Scroll 09-19 has been sitting at "80" days for three or four days now.

Scroll P11-19 just changed today from O days in cycle to, "Awaiting Dir of Mil Pers Mgmt; P11-19; 84 Days in DoD Approval cycle."

System updated: Scroll 09-19 still at OSD, but now "85 Days in Approval Cycle"

My tracker updated today as well. U06-19 is at OSD with 129 days in the approval cycle.

1LT (Join to see) - No, it's just part of the process.

Thanks CPT...I was worried there for a long minute!

CW3 (Join to see) - Thanks for the response Chief. My S-1 is trying to track it as well, but they esentially told us it would take 3-6 months for it to play out, but that I wouldn't be able to track it. Just seems like its a way for them to avoid accountability on tracking it. The last update I got frm HRC was over two months ago saying it left OTJAG and was back at DMPM. Nothing shows up on the NGB fed rec portal either.

This process was supposed to be sped up, no?

Sir, do you have an update?

Any updates?
