Why is there such a long wait for reserve component officer and warrant federal recognition/promotion?

It seems like the scroll process is getting faster once you are on one. NGB took 4 months to get me on a scroll.

CW3 (Join to see) - Where are you getting the updates? Can you post another one?

MAJ (Join to see) - Ma'am, I get them from a Senior Warrant in my state or an email message, but I haven't seen anything since the 13 May update.

CW3 (Join to see) - Can you post another update?

The updates above just means you are complete with that process. As you both note, yours says awaiting, so yours is in between offices.

CPT(P) (Join to see) it made me happy to see that it had updated when I looked at it today.

Sure are a lot of scrolls at JAG

Do you have an update?

Thank you so much for posting this!

U(d) 11-18 - Check iPerms for Orders <----update that is what I was waiting for thank you so much Chief.

P12-18 orders were published on 14 December.

D11-18 Published 14 December as well.

That would be great! Currently pre-mobing so I'll be in theater when that happens and looking forward to it!

Any word on when a newer update will be made available? Thanks!

CW5 (Join to see) Do you have any more recent updates?

Sorry, I havent forgot!
No updates in a while. I hadnt realized it had been so long. I'll see if I can nudge for another....

Conrats!!!! Appreciate your support on this blog!

Glad to see so many scrolls published this week. I hope this is the new trend moving forward.

Chief,
Was wondering, usually Warrant scrolls go pretty quick through the process but I have been noticing that all the P0-18 scrolls have been going through super fast compared to the Warrants? P04, P05, P06, P07 are all I believe at the SecDef already. I am on scroll U04-18 and still sitting at (Awaiting Off of Dir of Mil Pers Mgmt) Just some thoughts.

I have been watching U04, have a couple of people in my Bde on it. I really dont think there is any hard effort at making one or the other faster. I think it is mostly based on the number of people on a scroll, and just when it hits the desk. U04 is a little exceptional as it has 112 on the scroll, vs 63 on U01 and 77 on U02.
The good news is that at least on my report from NGB CCWO, there was not a U03. I dont know why, maybe it just get left off the list I got back in Jan, but it may well be you guys are next, and its just the size of the list thats taking a little extra time...
Good news is DPRO is showing U04 at DMPM about 32 days. U01 was there about 31, 10 days at SecArmy and 52 at OSD. Although, dont go exactly by those numbers. I firmly believe that scrolls are processed in each office on a schedule, rather than as they arrive. That means they may get done, for example "every other Friday" or something, and it just matters when yours hits in that cycle. It could be 2 days if it arrives at the last minute, or 2 weeks, if it comes right after the cutoff.
Pentagon offices LIVE on routine. There's way too much going on to just drop everything. When I was at G2, we had to have read-aheads in something like a week or two ahead. What I hated was that usually what I was briefing had totally changed in the time between the read-ahead and the meeting (especially because the meeting usually got pushed back a few days). But, I learned to live with it.
I'm not implying it was chaos. Only saying its the way people handle things. 3 & 4-star signatures require a lot of work! More than any Reservist can usually imagine, if they haven't done a staff tour.

MAJ (Join to see) - Congrats again!! Well deserved. Did P11-17 gain the longest scroll count crown, or does P10-17 still own it? :)

CPT (Join to see) - No, unfortunately, P11 only got to 330 days so you guys still own the title of the most highly vetted officers in the history of the Army FEDREC system.

MAJ (Join to see) - It's a dubious honor...I'd say with just 3 days in between, we're tied. ;)

MAJ (Join to see) - HA!! Can I put that on an OER bullet????

Anyone have a pub or reference for this process?

Hello

Here's another issue to this lengthy and idiotic process. I'm currently sitting on scroll D16-17 and am now at 210 days as of today for promotion to CW2. For me, I get my DOR backdated and the difference in pay. For CW3's and up, they don't have that luxury. So, those folks now have to stay in for another year to get the full benefits of retirement at that rank (if they choose to). One of my fellow Warrants in my unit was looking to retire out of the Guard and had plans set up once he picked up CW3. He now has to put those plans off for another year or more just because of the scroll taking as long as it is. Not only is this an issue, but morale is also suffering because of it. To make matters worse, the scrolls behind me are at the same point I am in far less time.

I've heard, but cannot find, there is legislation currently in Congress at the sub-committee levels to address this issue. I personally now a CW3 that was on the scroll for over 400 days which is border line criminal! I fully understand that we have Soldiers getting promoted with issues in their past but we're holding up an entire list of people waiting to get promoted because of these people. Why does the Army insist on punishing the masses over the few? That question has always baffled me.

Might be a dumb question, but I cannot find anything telling me what the (d) stands for? anyone know?

WO1(P) (Join to see) - The (d) refers to W1-W2 promotions. They are scrolls that are not in the same priority category simply because W1-W2 can get backdated orders to the time of eligibility.

Anyone have any info on scroll U23-20? There seems to be nothing on it, and it has been showing "0" days in the tracker for a while now. Its weird because there seem to be later scrolls already ahead of it (I know they aren't always in order though).

CW2 John G That is not encouraging. The only thing I know about U23-20 is that on the individual fedrec trackers it still shows 0 days. However it has said that for almost 2 months I believe.

Anything new as of Today Chief? I heard these were updated every Thursday as long as you receive a status update from the fed rec folks. My scroll has been at OSD for about a month now.

CW2 (Join to see) - Just checked Andy and still see the last update as 7 Dec 18. I will continue to monitor it.

MAJ Kahren Aydinyan - I was on P01-18 and my DOR is May 4 ... so now I out rank folks on earlier scrolls (P15-17) than me ... system is sooo jacked.

MAJ (Join to see) - Yes it's super jacked up.

210 days

Here is mine:
Awaiting Secretary of the Army (Day 0 forever)
Awaiting Chief of Staff (Day 0 forever)
Awaiting Off of Judge Advocate General (JAG; around day 141) - took 41 days in this stage
