Grizz13 - did you go through Fort Knox? They did tell me the average for most places is 100 days, but their average since beginning IDES is 53.5 days for MEB completion. I have also read on here that they are backlogged, so just wondering if you had gone through Knox or were just stating a...

Update. My packet went to Fort Knox 23 May 12. I reported here 16 July 2012. Orders for two weeks, my appointments and evaluations are going to be during this period. Fort Knox redid my profile from my home state and that is dated 1 July. Knox says the MEB part should be complete in about...

Thanks!

XGIJANE - Thanks, I have used the high 3 calculator before, but not sure if it is 26 years of service or 17 years of service I would use based on this thread. (The calculator will not allow me to use less than 20 years, but I only have 17 active duty years). Still confused, because even with...

OK, now I am confused. Jason said that retirement is either based on your percentage or 2.5% times years of service if over 20 years and that is greater than your percentage. I have 26 years in, 17 years of that active. I thought that I would either receive the percentage or 2.5% of that 17...

Thanks, that does help. I am going to look into that tomorrow.

Well, it looks like my packet was sent to Fort Knox last week. I think...My AGR case manager said that I should go to meet with my PEBLO and start my medical evaluations within 3-4 weeks of Fort Knox receiving my packet. I hope so. My life is on hold until this is all done. Don't know if...

Thanks for the update!

So, I am just beginning the process of MEB, I am AGR and my packet has not yet been sent to my nearest active duty installation to actually start MEB. This question may seem premature, but wondering about my final PCS move. Will the Army pay to PCS me to a different location in the same...

Thanks!

Thought I might post this to help other AGR Soldiers if possible. I know when I first found this forum, I was pleased with all the info out there, but as usual, us AGRs don't quite fit in... Had issues since return from Iraq in 2004, sought treatment right away, but denied alcohol issues...
