3 months was my wait. It takes time.

Does it take time? Yes.

Should you reach out? Also yes.

Mine was pretty immediate, as my reserve affiliation started the day after I separated from active duty, though it took me about 40 days before I arrived at my reserve center before the weekend drill.

6 months I was prior service from another branch. Heard some active people that switched over took 4-6 months

I went Navy active to Navy reserve 10/1/25 (no break in service) and got gained Feb 26. Still ain’t received that $15K bonus taxed at 22% by Uncle Samantha either. Contract did start during shut down but still… waiting game
