Hadn't heard or seen anything, so May 27th I called them for a status update. I was told that they can't read my character of service on my DD-214. They said that I will need to resubmit a cleaner copy or anything that would show I was honorably discharged. So that same day I sent them a copy of my Honorable Discharge certificate and a card from the county secretary stating that I filed and Honorable Discharge with them. I called today to check the status and to make sure that what I sent over was readable and that I wouldn't need anything else. The lady on the phone said that the new paperwork would do. I then asked how much longer it would be, she told me that it could be up to 12 weeks.

So all in March 22
Status change late August early September maybe?
Total time six months

Some of the wait times seem to be getting really short.

The skeptical side of my brain wonders if maybe they are "fast tracking" some of the very recent apps through to get their averages down considerably.

I wouldn't be surprised. I'm on Day 73, fingerprints and BC still "under review". I think stuck in someone's desk drawer is more likely, but they don't have that as a category....

Maybe that is the default answer and it will be much quicker. Good luck.
