You need to read new PT reg. PCM is in charge of everything. I should have never tapped because of being diagnosed with extremely low T. Everything is just getting weird to me

Yes, they didn't do anything. On another note, failed a PT test after I was told not to test at all by my off base doctors. I got diagnosed with low T and this neck surgery coming up. They said I didn't have a chance. Lol they where right. My 108 came back the day my CC was going to give me a...

Wow we sound almost like that same person. Minus the ankle issue. I have DDD of the cervical spine, getting fused c5/c6 here soon because of almost total numbness down both arms. I gets worse when I am running or hell even biking nowadays. Is patellarfemoral pain the one they diagnose because...

I was on advair and abeuterol. then it was singulair 2 puffs twice a day. now it is something different, dural or something 2 puffs twice a day. Add in albuterol basically as needed, 2 puffs twice before excersise and two puffs after are manitory. I was found fit for duty when my MEB came...

I have 13 years in at the end of march. Since my last post I saw my second opinion for neck surgery on the 12th. The first gave me a bad vibe. This surgeon agrees with the doctor that said I needed ACDF C5/C6 back in 2009!! I have had my 108 appt today and I feel that was less than productive. I...

When I was at my last base they had me diagnosed with degenerative knee. Now it is just gone. I have looked myself and it was confirmed by my PCM. Kinda weird since I have had two mri's and multiple injections. Lol I guess obesity is in my medical records. I've never had administrative action...

How is it that things have disappered from my military records? Odd, is there anyway to fight that? Also, they have in my records obesity. I am 225 at 71 inches. So I am military obese LOL does that benifit me in any way or does it do more to hurt me?

I am ADAF 2A373 aircraft mechanic. I am now in a special duty. I tried to get a profile for all components. They would not do a waist measurement exemption. I am talking to my Det chief who is talking to the commander. I was told that the unit commander can request the fitness for duty eval...

I am seeing BH, they are as surprised as I am that the process has not started yet. I have been through multiple MEB's once when I first was diagnosed with OSA. then when I got diagnosed with Asthma and apparenly they have to do full MEB's every year for OSA that has a Bipap. But on the last MEB...

Quick background. I have DDD with shooting pain down both arms, also causing horrible headaches. I suffer from migraines anyways but these just plain hurt. I also have OSA, RLS, I guess a form of PTSD(enough to have to have counceling), anxiety, Low T, sports induced asthma,had RT shoulder...

Well because of the long wait, I was put on a dead mans waiver. did my PT test and failed. Waist measurement was one inch to much. I was told because I am all components waivered I go up against the DAWG. Will this initaite the MEB or will they just wait until after I see the surgeon on the...

Yes that is true. You may not see an MEB or you may not. If you are on waiver for a years time for PT then your UFPM is supposed to refer to the DAWG. then they will decide if an MEB is required. Did your PCM not generate an MEB for the diagnosed sleep apnea or the asthma?
