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

Hurry up and wait!!!

"On the command to stand still..." "Ready; MOVE"...or not.

*Checked tonight and still no new update

31 MAY: No Update

MAJ, any updates as of late? I'm specifically interested in U06-19. Thank you.

CPT (Join to see) - Wow that's nice, your date of rank is almost a month prior to it showing up on iPerms.

Congratulations to all of us...here's to hoping the issues get resolved so it's not so painful the next time around.

Congrats. Praying P11 follows suit....

Yay for us and best of luck to all the other scrolls lingering..

A couple of things might affect this process.
1. Primarily, NGB has been working with DA to get a lot more of the prescreening done. It was felt this would really help move things along.
2. I dont know exactly when the process "went digital", but that will help as well. I read somewhere on here that it was mid FY17, but not sure.
3. Going digital on TMT also helped improve status reporting. In some cases, it may be that improved reporting just made it seem like things are catching up.
4. Finally, and biggest, as I have said before, this is just normal staffing of documents. NOTHING gets put under the boss's pen or passed to the next office until it has been put under the microscope. The recent article in the NGAUS talked about parallel processes. I dont see that ever happening. There are some, like JAG that might do a little. But fact is, nothing goes to SecArmy until the CSA chops, and nothing goes to the CSA until the VCSA sees it, and nothing goes to VCSA until the Director of the Army Staff approves. Those things will ALWAYS be serial processes, because thats how Staffs work.

Along those lines, in my case (U01-18), I noticed that the above report showed us out of JAG at DMPM. The image says it is as of 1 Mar, but two of the scrolls say "published 2 Mar", so its off a little. Still, it wasnt until 20 Mar that my info on the G1 portal updated to show that. Its expected, not a problem, but one more anecdote about how all the databases operate at different levels of accuracy because of manual updates.

CW5 (Join to see) - In your opinion, which is the longer wait? JAG or DMPM? I am on P04-18 and was very surprised that we were only at OTJAG for around 40 days. I have seen several folks post here that in some cases they have been at OTJAG for 150 days or more. Perhaps they are starting to streamline the process. I have been in for 22 years, prior NCO / WO, so these long waits are discouraging because I am hoping to retire as a LTC and everyday this process drags on makes that less likely.

Is there any correlation between the wait times of Scrolls for O grade officers versus U for Warrant Officers? just curious if it's faster or slower?

CW5 (Join to see) - Chief, do you have any guesses as to why your State hasn't sent you the regular updates they have in the past? Thank you so much for sending out all of this valuable information as often as you have. I'm on P10-17 and it's starting to feel like that YouTube video of the kid after his dentist appointment: "Is it going to be like this forever?"

I expect (hope) we get an update this week. The person that generates the report has been at school for 3 weeks and today is his first day back...

CW5 (Join to see) - Thank you!

Does anyone know if there is a mechanism in place, let's say going from T-32 to T-10 for a deployment that can be leveraged to make my promotion faster? I'm eligible now and I have just switched to T-10 and was wondering if something I can do. I am on a scroll already U04-18 say's on the counter 67 days in yellow, but my packet has been at NGB for 200+ days any ideas? one other question, is it the total days a person's packet has been at NGB that people are counting or what the counter is saying theirs is at that people are commenting on? because if thats the case I'm F--CK if my counter is only showing 67 i got a long way to go based off the current number most people are getting promoted at.

CW2(P) (Verify To See) - I guess the main question is, when or how long will it be until SecDef signs off on the packets once it reaches to SecDec.. Ah man. I am losing out on so much pay because of the delay but fingers crossed chief. Congrats on your promotion!

No updates since 20 October and looks like the person providing them is out of the office until November 4. I wanted to give everyone interested a heads-up so they aren't continuously refreshing this post. lol

LTC (Join to see) - lol thanks for the update. Been refreshing this page every single day for an update since G1 hasn't updated in over 7 days. I'll check back Nov 4-6th for an update.

CW3 (Join to see) - Chief, apologies for what it may seem like a stupid question but how exactly do I receive backpay with this memo? Do I simply attach this memo along with my promotion orders (still waiting on SecDef) to my unit S1 or bring it over to the finance office?

It has been there for awhile, that's for sure.

Any further updates on this list CW2?

Sorry, I haven't seen an update since 13 MAY.

CW3 (Join to see) - Thanks for looking!

Congrats to you all on 05-19!

CW2 B B - The 9 APR update (see previous thread) is the most recent one posted. Normally this is the best/most up to date place I've found

MAJ (Join to see) - I agree, these are the best and most reliable updates I've seen.

Any updates on P13-19 would be appreciated.
