It varies. Generally 4-5 weeks.
It's really a timing issue. The Recruiting Command needs to submit the list with a certain number of names so they don't inundate the Secretary of the Service concerned with multiple "scrolls". Sec Army wants to see a consolidated list on something like a monthly basis. Exactly what that number of names is, I have no idea. But when I've asked this question in the past, this has been the answer.

Hello all, I got selected for AF HPSP and I am also waiting for scroll process. I just wonder why it takes so long? I (i'm from NC) and my buddy from Utah got our selection on the same day (Feb 17th), but he already got scroll approved and swore in, and I am still waiting. His recruiter has been out of office for a few weeks and he has been working with his flight chief. My recruiter refused to do anything for me and told me to keep waiting, it's congress job and he can do nothing about it (not sure if its true. My friend's recruiter was nice enough to keep checking on his status). Does anyone have any idea?

There is the reason. Keep in mind that this is for Clin Psych for the Army, but I received word that I was selected on February 8th. I had to wait until April 14th to hear that my scroll was approved and waited until April 20th to sign my Oath of Office and get the paperwork ball rolling. 10 weeks in total if my count is right. Keep in mind that every person who is being promoted or commissioned in every MOS goes through the same process. Couple that with the fact that you are waiting on the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of the Designated branch (both very busy individuals) to sign off on your paperwork. The bottom line is that although it is frustrating, they'll get to it when they get to it. If you're told you are selected, there is nothing to worry about, just takes some time. From my experience I've learned that it doesn't help to compare yourself to someone else who is selected, as there are tons of human factor errors that may occur with individual recruiters.
