I just spent four months of my life serving as a recorder on a FEB and know way more than I care to admit.
After the board adjourns, much time is spent waiting for the court reporter to produce the transcript. Then both the senior board member and recorder have to audit the transcript... blah blah blah
Then a multitude of legal reviews commence, beginning at the Wing level up through the chain before it is dropped on the desk of the final authority. My MAJCOM/CC has delegated final authority down to his DO. (Not sure if this is standard)
So yes, sit and wait. It does take time.
Feel free to PM.
