How long does it take to approve an age exception to policy for a 153A flight packet?

So my flight packet is G2G, everything has been approved minus my Age ETP. The USAREC site says allow 4-6 weeks, and I expected that to be a long shot; however, it has been 11 weeks. The warrant that gives me my updates just keeps telling me it's pending approval. Has anyone dealt with an age ETP, or any other ETP taking this long? Or is anyone dealing with it now? This has already caused me to miss the May board, I am getting worried it is going to make me miss the July board as well. Any suggestions, or am I just out of luck and stuck in the good ol' waiting game with the Army?

I had a medical ETP and it does take a while for the approval. I don’t see why it’s taking much longer than what the normal wait time is though. Just remember no news is good news. Patience is the key here, especially now because they have a ton of applications coming in.

Yeah I've been watching the selection boards, and they have been picking up quite a bit. I appreciate it Sir.

I am about to submit an Age ETP for 153A, how long did it end up taking for you to get a response? Do you have any advice on writing the AGE exception memo?
