After your scrolls are approved, COMDOCS should follow within ten days. Well, they aren't going to release docs if your medical and security wasn't done, so it would have to be done prior to getting onto scrolls list. I was medically approved and my security docs were in prior to selection. So I should have been on the first round of scrolls after July. But they changed the security questionnaire on me and I didn't find out until late September. I was told I didn't make scrolls because of it. Once I filled out the new paperwork, I made the October scrolls.
For what its worth, here's what wikipedia says about scrolls:
Commissions of officers in the U.S. Armed Forces are issued in the name of the President, although officers at and below the rank of captain (lieutenant in the Navy and Coast Guard) are actually appointed by the Secretary of Defense or, for the Coast Guard, the Secretary of Homeland Security. The commission of a newly commissioned officer would read:
The President of the United States of America To all who shall see these presents, greeting: Know Ye, that reposing special trust and confidence in the patriotism, valor, fidelity and abilities of .................., I do appoint ["him" or "her"] a ["Second Lieutenant" or "Ensign'] in the [name of service] to rank as such from the .... day of ........ ......
