That would raise a red flag in my book being that the United Supreme Council AASR in witch I am under is set up as a whole with a Northern & Southern Jurisdiction and states represented as Orients
How long does it usually take from you get the 4th untill the 32nd degree? What degrees are done in full?

Congratulations. How long did it take you from entering the SR till you received the 32?

Monday I submitted my application to the SR. Looking forward to it later this month.
Very good!Getting ready to submit my app
That's pretty much it. I believe, and I may have heard this incorrectly, but a 32 degree mason is a very big deal in Europe with years of progression. Here it's a dime a dozen. I would venture to guess most AASR members in the U.S. can't remember anything about most of the degrees.What is the rush from the 4th to 32nd degree? Do you actually learn anything? , or is it hey ! I'm a 32°mason now. Just curious to know. There are brothers that became master masons and still have no clue on what is going on, and I myself coming on 5 years is still trying to figure out what is what.
I have to agree. I have learned much more about the AASR after I achieved the 32nd degree than I did while going through the process.I would venture to guess most AASR members in the U.S. can't remember anything about most of the degrees.

In the late 1800s in the US the SR decided to be like a pillow or teddy bear - Wrapping first, stuffing later. So they did a few degrees mandatory as an outline then handed Brothers a passport so they could list all of the other degrees as they filled in their list.
That's interesting and shocking!
Same here.In the Orient of Washinton, which is SJ, we are required to put on the 5 terminal degrees:
4th, 14th, 18th, 30th, and 32nd.
We do them in two day reunions.This will spread over 4 months, because usually the 4th and 14th are given on the same day.
