Nope it’s not lol. I had a few here in MD that I had to turn down months ago because it was taking sooo long. But I just enrolled in summer classes in CO and was planning to move out there early and keep working on my bachelors until my husband gets out and starts skillbridge in July, but I don’t even know when I’ll be done now.

I feel you, I'm enrolled in Missouri State's computer science program and luckily my first semester I can do fully online but I don't have enough classes to be full time next semester. I don't want to have a gap without BAH so I started in January but now I'm worrying I won't be able to enroll next semester maybe I should see if I can expedite?
You can try. I would recommend once you get past 90 days to reach out to the White House VA hotline, they can dig more than your regional office can.
I just went ahead and emailed my Representative, no reason ANYONE should be on a rater for over 2 weeks let alone 40 days.
Agreed, best of luck!! keep us updated.
Update -
I sent a sharply worded email to my MSC who has been terrible through this process, no communication etc. etc.
I demanded a full report with dates of my timeline so that I could properaly relay the information to my congressional representative. I already had an open case from an inquiry I filed in late January - but I figured this may light a fire if they thought that I was in the process of gathering more information to relay.
I got a call from the Supervisor of my MSC this morning doing his best in the damage control department. I ended up with his direct line and email and all I can say is they know my name now and that I am furious.
It’s apparently been “Assigned to a Decision Maker” which is the next step after being “Assigned a Rating Team” fun stuff.
The Gentleman told me this takes between 1-2 weeks. Once that process is complete it will go into a “Promulgation” stage for 1-2 days to have all decisions legally verified and then onto informing me.
There is no reason that this process should take this long beyond factors that they themselves have control of. I don’t want to hear staffing shortages or Covid Backlogs. The Department of the Navy is the only grouping of cases that seems to be taking so long. Contact your representatives, contact the VA Hotline and let them know this is unacceptable.
* This is just my word of advice for anyone going through this process - do not be afraid to advocate for yourselves. Demand the information you are entitled to. I wish I would’ve started much earlier in this process maybe my case would’ve moved faster had I started earlier, but nevertheless.*

Damn, might as well slap it on the table and tell them to suck it. Hopefully you get progress now!
Got a call from my rating officer today, currently at proposed 90% VA
YES FINALLY. Did your get your DOD yet?
No, the rater actually called me to ask about one of my claimed conditions and I just asked him what I was at currently. My claim just closed on the VA website too so we'll see!
Congrats! May I ask when you were found unfit?
29Nov22
Well.. C&P exam isn’t until March 9th.. so much for me being almost done
I hope it works out for you on the end. I was found unfit on nov 19 2022 and haven’t heard diddly squat myself.
Thanks! Yeah I’ve only heard news from my MSC. They told me it would be quick to redo a C&P exam but it’s taken a week and a half to schedule and it’s almost 3 weeks out. At this rate I won’t be out until end of May or June. I have no idea how long it takes once the exam is done.
I’m navy so for some reason ours is the slowest of all branches. I was expecting to be out around then as well. I keep hearing even after proposed ratings they there’s months until your findings then even longer until your orders are received. So atleast you’re not navy.
Hate to break it to you but I am AD Navy lol
Ooof I thought you were a marine.
Haha nope. I am getting the same terrible experience as y’all.. hoping it’s not months. Had another sailor at my command get proposed ratings, sign a week later and then get orders 10 days after that. That’s the timeline I want
Yea that would be pretty nice. Quick question, why did the need another exam and who was able to tell you that
