I've just completed BOLC back in August and had my state push through my NGB 78 form to get the FED-REC process started as quick as possible. How long does it typically take for your packet to get picked up?
I've attached a snip it from the G1 site that shows my packet status.
Can anyone shed more light on this? I was told this process is longer now then it used to be for 2LT to 1LT promos..

I can confirm. At least three per day, morning, noon and evening. Getting mine in 18 months, promoting late Nov.

Promotion to 1LT is pretty much automatic. It will take 24 months but it is waiverable to 18. I got mine in 18 months. Also, this is the only rank were they can back date your date of rank. When you get your FEDREC it will be for the day you first became eligible. I was promoted in April but my date of rank on my official orders were for Feb. So I got that back pay. After that it is much more difficult.

Mcquaid, some states take longer than others. I finished BOLC last year and got my state promotion orders in March (still a month after our promo date). My packet is still sitting at JAG according to the FEDREC Tracker. 7 months in since I received my promotion and I'm still waiting. Haha. Best of luck brother! Just gotta wait it out.
