The good news is that my status was finally updated to received and under review on Monday (4/8). The bad news is that there was also a big red "Proof of Special Condition: Unacceptable, notice sent to applicant" there too.
I haven't received their letter yet but the only special condition I claimed was as a veteran. And I've been out so long that I had forgotten there were different DD-214s. And naturally I sent the wrong one.
But I called before leaving the office at 4:55 yesterday and was only on hold for a couple of minutes. I spoke with Rebecca who was extremely nice and helpful. Once I receive the letter I'll just fax it along with the "Member - 4" version of my DD-214 and all will be right with the world.
I didn't bother Rebecca with it but it would be helpful (judging by the results of a search on "Proof of Special Condition:...) if they would specify the DD-214 version needed.

Re: How Long Do I Wait Before Re-Sending Packet?
Thanks for the replies! Makes me feel better that I'm not alone in this.
I'm surprised that our instructor didn't recommend sending the packets via certified mail. And I didn't even think about the personal data that's in the packet if it were to be lost!

How Long Do I Wait Before Re-Sending Packet?
It's been six weeks since I mailed my packet (regular mail unfortunately) and according to the web site they are still "waiting on the receipt of required materials." I tried to call to see if I might need to re-send my packet but I kept getting the 'all agents are currently busy please try again later' message.
So I tried the email route and this morning received a canned reply. It basically repeated information from the web site; "Applications typically do not show up online or in our database records for four weeks, at which point they are processed by a specialist." And giving me a link to the status check web site.
I understand there are only a few people processing an unbelievably huge workload. But if I can't speak with anyone how do I know if I need to re-send my packet? How much longer should I wait before I re-send it?
The wait would be a lot easier if I could at least see that they have received my packet!
