Yes Ron. It’s $3602.40 The SMC is for ED. I can’t remember the numerics. It was somewhere around $112 a month. Thank you for the help. I’m so glad this is finally over.

Got the second best call yesterday. Last day in the Army is 22 Sep. I might be done 11 July PTDY depending.

thanks. I was surprised and relieved.

PTSD, MDD, degenerative disk disease, patella-femoral syndrome left knee, migraines, radioculpathy. redstone arsenal

80% DOD 100% VA Referred Oct 19. MEB exams 9-12 Dec 19. C&P 10-14 Feb. PEB determined unfit 1 May. Notified by phone today 10 Jun of ratings. Get the packet tomorrow. I’m quite pleased.

And won the IMR. They didn’t have migraines as a DOD disqualifying condition. It is now. My paralegal advised as did the lawyer to go for it. When they did my numbers I was 60% DOD. This will bump it to 80%. now off to the PEB and see what they decide.

its calculated with 18 years in the calculator. I’ll have a couple months over 18 by the time leave etc plays out.

I got my NARSUM Friday. 5 DOD unfit conditions. PTSD, MDD, degenerative arthritis in my back, same in left knee, plus patellafemoral syndrome. Migraines listed as retainable. In the legal brief I remember the lawyer saying in certain instances they can be a DOD disqualifying. I sent an email...

I got my NARSUM Friday. I want legal to review it. They are teleworking and asked my PEBLO for a copy of everything around 9am yesterday. The PEBLO finally returned a call after the paralegal cc’d the PEBLO’s boss. When I left work at 4, legal is still waiting for my C&P. tomorrow should be...

I’m in a similar boat. Got my NARSUM yesterday. I’ll 18 active in May. I’m considering COAD if it will make better financial sense when I see my ratings.

I really don’t know. I have always looked forward to retirement and having retired pay as an offset so I wouldn’t have to work full time, or if I did, I would be able to do what I wanted to do. I’d like this to drag out so I can have my regular retirement secured. I didn’t ask for this. I...

I’m tricare prime remote, so I have a civilian PCM. All 2500 or so pages of medical records I sent were all civilian. My PCM doesn’t have a clue. No idea what my commander thinks about it. He’s a COL and knows I’m hurt and I’m certain he will do a favorable memo for me. I’ll discuss what I...

Thanks Ron. That sheds some light on it for me. I’m thinking real hard about applying for COAD depending on what my results are. I nosed around in this site until the wee hrs of the morning and I don’t have a great feeling about what the outcome may be.
