How long does it take to get a response from the Army Discharge Review Board?

I am trying to get back into the Army but first need my Re code changed from a 4 to a 3. I was advised sending a written request to the review board and they could do so possibly. My application was accepted to be reviewed but haven’t heard anything further. Curious to know what to expect.

Anywhere from 3 to 5 months, if through channels. You can walk it through each signatory, reporting at attention, explaining why, receiving approval/denial, action on next step/appeal, etc, etc...

Don't hold your breathe, we /they discharged 22k non-deployable folks last year, this is the start of the new year, money wise, no need for many waivers to keep numbers up.

Well, we all know that the armed forces are diligent in what they do so my guess is....... standby, stand down, stand at attention, stand in the corner.... Im afraid you have to wait...Gotta luv the hurry up & wait theme. Their doing it all over !!
