I can’t speak from a space force perspective but I can from a federal agency, which space force is. I received a verbal offer in late August but didn’t receive a written offer until the last week of September. The offer is for FDA. The time line can range because of the humans in HR either overloaded or most likely not working
Productively. For my current agency I onboarded one full month after expected simply because of human laziness.

I don’t know much about space force or their HR so it’s really hard to estimate but can be days to weeks. If you have the contact info of the HR person covering you case I would reach out. Otherwise the recruiter.
I wish you the best success with your new role.

Air Force employee here - I interviewed March 31 and didn’t get my official start date until June 14. But it was about a good month (maybe more)between the initial offer and then the official. Welcome to the government and lack of urgency 😂

For the few agencies that I have been part of, once a selection is made, the tentative offer comes pretty quickly, maybe about a week or two max, on average. But every agency and organization is different. The real wait is between the tentative and final offers, depending on background checks, salary negotiation, and a number of other factors. It's a very long process most times, especially if hiring from outside of the agency or government.

It is common for civilian onboarding at federal agencies to takes months for many reasons. Even inter-department hires may take months. The background investigation(s) may be a large part of the delay.
