While I can't really speak to the timelines and how they work within the reserves... I can say that as an active duty member, I keep records of everything.

If these things become a big deal, having a paper trail to show proof of your timeliness and the opposite of your superiors, it won't fall on you. Maybe the NCOER part will because its your career and you need to take charge of that, but most command have an open door policy. Try using those at the next higher echelon. Best of luck.

It sounds like you've done about all you can. I'd suggest escalating to a higher command level followed by contacting the IG. If you've done all this and still not had luck, it may be time to look at transferring units. 25U's are usually in pretty high demand so finding a unit to take you shouldn't be too difficult depending on where you are trying to drill.

In regards to AGR, there's always another board if you miss this one. Not the answer you want to hear I'm sure, but unfortunately at the lower ranks you're at the mercy of the system until you can get to a level to influence said system. I hope you find a solution and/or a unit that is better at taking care of people than your current unit appears to be.

This is some next level Reserve BS. On the active side, I stuff like this was almost always solved with a combination of persistence and going to the person's office, in person.

I will say, however, that EVERYONE has a boss. If a particular individual or group of individuals is failing miserably, and it is affecting you, find out who their boss is and make the boss aware. If the boss fails to address the issue, well, the boss has a boss, too. It may end u[ taking WAY more time and effort than it SHOULD, but eventually, you will find someone who gives a F. Maybe even gives two Fs.
