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

Can anyone tell me why the process takes so long for RC officer/warrant promotions to run through the FedRec cycle? I'm an ARNG officer and I've had my state promotion orders for CPT since the middle of April. I've been tracking my packet on the ARNG-G1 website and it was awaiting addition to a scroll until a month ago and last week the scroll was ready to start the approval DoD cycle. Thoughts?

do you have a clearance if so that could hold up things , and then there is a matter of pay and they have budget issues they hold up on that as well only so many slots

In past, there was no delay for Reserve Officers. This must be a NG issue (or new within the last 10+ years).

I think for many of us, the 10+ years is an adequate timeline for our scrolls to make it through the FedRec process.

I am tracking from historical data on this post, that 3-17 and 7-17 scrolls published over 3 months ago. No other scrolls have published in that time that are being tracked on this thread. So my question is, did they wipe their brows, slaps some high fives and take the rest of the fiscal year off.

Just checked the G1 Gateway. There is movement...it is now "Awaiting Asst Sec Army, Man, Res Affairs appr; P08-17; 183 Days in DoD Approval cycle."

Sir, I think the process would move faster if promotions were tied to the various levels of approval to their advancements.

I am in L03-17 the clock stopped ticking at 140 days and says awaiting Sec Def. Does anyone else have this issue or has it not been updated and anyone from L03-17 receive a published FedRec?

CW3 (Join to see) - Today it is at 160 Days, I am at 268 Days since my State Order. I just left our State Rep who submits packets to NGB. According to DPRO it was kicked back by SecDef on the 28th of AUG and will have to be submitted once the issue which was caught is checked estimated 2 more months. This kind of reminds me of punishment of the masses for the mistakes of the few but that is just me I guess. Since Compo 1 and 2 do not have to go through this process I ask myself why are we not bringing our promotion processes in line with that of COMPO 1/2 so that COMPO 3 is not scrutinized and put through this process. I know the back pay is a blessing for me and I cant imagine what agony will exist when I am waiting on CPT and further. I would probably be making waves if I was in your shoes Chief. All and all, I don't agree with this process one bit and never want to hear another individual tell me " Well, it is what it is sir. At least you get back pay." There are devastating 3rd and 4rth order effects that this process has on all Officers at all ranks. I've been mentored by enough Warrants to know that, and after 12 years of service come next month I can say this isn't right. I could go on but I think I am going to stop for now, less I get diagnosed for high blood pressure and hypertension at my next PHA.

Anyone know the status of scroll U06-17? I am currently tracking it on G1 portal at "Awaiting Asst Sec Army, Man, Res Affairs appr; U06-17; 202 Days in DoD Approval cycle. State orders published since Dec 2016.

Yes Sir, and when I talked to Renea she had no info. She said wants it starts the scroll she can no longer track it and that is taken 6-9 months once it shows up as a scroll; which U06-17 didn't show up until 2Mar17. So maybe by fall 2018.....

I got my state orders 27 June, and it showed up with a scroll two weeks later. Then September 1 I get an update that it is at 32 days and at JAG. I didn't expect to be a day 1 for another couple months so they have made a huge leap forward it terms of efficiency since they reduced the number of personnel on a scroll.

Either G1 site is down or my laptop is disagreeing with government sites (again). Does anyone have ability to see current status of P09-17? Thanks!

MAJ (Join to see) - I'm 08-17, I have not heard anything. My unit won't request an update, I'm too scared to email anyone at NGB...so I just wait in misery.

I could be wrong, but I don't think a scroll has been approved since August 2017...

Talking to Ms. Marshall the FEDREC section chief, of course she did not give a timeline or any valuable information of when P08-17 would be signed but she did confirm that the scroll was at OSD and pending signature....Just hoping it is signed before I redeploy, smh. Would hate to go an entire deployment waiting on a promotion.

I have a question for you, did you receive your commission through your state or were you federally commissioned through ROTC or OCS at Fort Benning be. I believe if you are state Commissioned there's some extra steps that may be required for federal recognition. Since all reservists receive federal commissions we do not go through a recognition process.

MAJ (Join to see) - Sir, that is why its easier for officers to move between active, reserves, and NG. You may have heard of "state orders" being cut for officer promotions. This is just the initial process before NGB starts the FEDREC.

Update on L02-17, Day 209, now says "Awaiting selection for publication of order; L02-17"
Sounds like this could either be a quick step, or an indefinite one.
