What can I do to speed up the process of getting my DD 368 signed and returned?

It has been sitting at battalion level how can I have it sent up? I am having financial hardships, and I am desperate to go active. I am a substitute teacher and my husband is active duty. We want to be financially stable, we are a young married couple. Financial burden is causing stress. Anyone ever was persistent to get the DD 368 signed sooner than expected? Worse part my unit is RFTX

Not really it has to go up the chain of command and approved/disapproved by your first General officer. Basically just keep on asking your COC about it. Also depending on how long you have been in unit on contract ect can all play a role. Mine got approved pretty fast all the way up to the BG just for it to sit at division and for them to tell my COC it wasn't going to get approved until my Security clearance was approved. So you never know. Hope it all works out for you.

It's a conditional release so you can't actually force anyone. I think mine took a month or two. Contact the commander where the issue is at. Get them on board with your cause and they'll help push it through.
