I’m in the USAR and just turned in my conditional release/ DD368 form and was told it could take up to 6 months because once the paperwork traces brigade it takes a while. I’m really eager to move forward with my military career . Is there anyway I could speed up the process on my end ?

There is no way to speed it up on your end. I've seen them take 6 months. I've seen them take 2 months. There is nothing you can do except wait. Patience, young Padawan.

I just completed this process. From the day I went to the recruiter for the 368 to the day it was signed by the CG, it took 7 months. It’s a long process and can be frustrating. My advice would be to establish good contact with your unit S1 as they will be the only person able to inquire as to the status of your release. I emailed my S1 monthly to check the status. It actually took the longest at the battalion level for me. Just be patient (easier said than done) and check in regularly. Good luck!

I also completed this process and its took about 4 months. It completely differs for the person and their chain of command. Just keep up with it and asking your Chain of command about it and make sure its not lost on your leadership
