It's a long and very stressful process, trust me. I know you are probably tired of being told that they are working on them but they are. I was just notified my 199 was awaiting signatures and that was a few days ago. I mean, I don't know how long it takes to sign something but okay. My wonderful 1SG decided he wanted to do a "100%" H/W and now I have been flagged and placed in the ABCP. Best part is my ENTIRE office is on mission in another country. I just asked if taking my retirement award away for 14 years of service was really worth all this.....
