HUMS orders

I submitted my HUMS package about 2 weeks ago, although my chain was NOT happy about it, what is the expected timeline to hear if it got approved or denied? (per the order I do meet all requirements for the package to be accepted)

Inquire. Squeaky wheel gets the grease.

If you, in fact, do meet all the requirements, this should be simple.

How far is your COC from the approving authority? For an example, awards guidance is 30 days at each endorsing level with 60 days at the signature command.

How dare you prioritize the health of your family?

Your command is right to be upset.

The green weenie shall remain thoroughly moistened at all times.

Please enlighten this ignorant person, what is a HUMS?

Are we referring to that thing that involves my package and a wet mouth? Asking for a friend

Humanitarian orders. I had a friend get them approved because she was a single mom to a kid that had special needs and she had no help. She was able to PCS to a command that was within driving distance of several relatives that could help her.
