Interesting, I am going through my MEB (USAF, just began) and I have the exact same questions regarding just what the AF "looks at" and rates vs what the VA will consider and rate.
My PEBLO says the exact same thing yours does.
I am being MEB'd for chronic PTSD and Intervertebral disc...
I've got the exact same questions! Anyone? I believe it's more advantageous in my case to go the route of total incapacitating episodes in the past 12 months rather than just ROM scores.
Place this in the NARSUM then?
