Making Recruiting Great Again
Not officer, but enlisted I worked a Marine IRR wanting to go Pilot. Took a few days to get the approved 368 back - seems like an easy process.

I just completed this process from Selected Marine Corps Reserves to Active Duty Navy JAG. I'm a Captain (O-3). Supposedly the DD 368 only needed to be routed to the first CG in the chain of command; but, for whatever reason mine was routed to HQMC for approval. Ultimately it took almost 6 months for mine to be approved as it was kicked back for petty corrections or additional information multiple times. I also had to request mast over some retaliation issues that arose after I expressed interest in switching branches.
When it was all said and done, I got my approved DD 368 with a 6-month window to commission in the Navy. I had to go through MEPS all over again. But the deed is finally done and I couldn't be more relieved.

When I was in Navy IRR and was looking at AF Reserve, the AF Reserve recruiter had me fill out the 368 at his office and he dealt with PERS 911 directly.
I am currently an enlisted IRR Marine in the process of going Navy Pilot (among applying a few other places). Getting a Conditional Release (DD-368) isn't too hard in the IRR. You literally just email the USMC-R down in New Orleans a filled form and they send you a response within 3-6 business days.
If you're active duty or a traditional reservist, it needs to go all the way up and down your chain of command which can take 2-3 months depending on how much your command cares.

Some Navy Communities have more say over the release process - I needed a release from enlistment to commission and it also took at least 6 months to get the release approved - Intel chain needed four levels of approval because it is a managed community. People in other rates or communities can get it done in days - so both stories are true. Best of luck!
You will get it but I can be slow or fast depending on the process you have to follow and how many layers of approval it has to go through.

Sounds like you had some cowards in your midst back then. Unfortunate.

Do you have an email for USMC-R, where I can send my request for conditional release?
If you are currently in the IRR: MCIRSA_IMA@usmc.mil. In addition to the 368, they mailed me a letter template to fill out as an official request for conditional release. The DD-368 I forwarded to MCIRSA already had a recruiter's signature from the unit I am transferring to.
