Has anyone heard anything on exemptions on DOD hiring freeze?

Has anyone seen any exemptions? How long did it take? I have a GS-13 position and I am on final step of onboarding. They told me they have no data but have submitted exemptions but waiting on more clarity. For context, this is in the NC2 / nuclear weapon enterprise.

If you’ve seen them, who did they go thru? How long did they take? What’s the odds of national security exemptions to go thru prior to May?
