Does anyone have any idea how long missing awards packets take for review?

I submitted a packet of missing awards to the Us Army Human Resources Command at Ft Knox, does any one have any idea how long they take for review. I submitted quite a few missing awards.

Count on about thirty days. Did You make copies of what You did have? Try to contact the units and ask about those awards.

It usually depends on the amount of awards and the documentation that you have to be processed. Plus if they are backlogged it can add a few weeks to the process, if you look at the FAQ page for just requesting documentation alone from HRC it may be several months depending on the time frame the documents are from. They are very helpful if you have questions and submit them through the POC listed on the section concerning awards.

Its not enough to submit a list of awards that you feel you deserve. You have to provide documentation that you were in the correct time and place to receive the award. There are also awards (like the ARCOM and AAM and even the Good Conduct Medal) which you have no "right" to but have to be recommended for.
