Not to discourage you or anything, but one must be prepared to have to wait for what may seem forever. Hopefully things work out for you. I was advised in Sept 08 that I was being sent to the MEB/PEB. Took till Aug 09 to get me there- and I am on active duty. I went this past Aug and just...

Thank you both for replying. I had researched these exams fairly thoroughly prior to the board here and as soon as the dr said how it was going to be done and then did it, I was like - what the hell? Anyway, I have had one prior MEB exam (2008) and two VA ratings exams (2007, 2009) and none of...

Howdy all, Had my ROM exam today and now have questions about it. Here goes: In reference to the flexion and extension portion, the DR did something that kind of gets my hackes up. When asked to bend forward i went all the way fwd until it became painful and where the fusion generally...

Are you on CB-WTU?

I do not know how long you have been in or whether or not you will get a 30% disability or more...but The longer you wait the better for at least one reason. If you are eligible for promotion or get onto a centralized promotion list, when you are retired, you retire at the next highest...

That is a very plausible theory, esp since the Army Leadership is inept at communicating even the simplest of ideas. The problem is some of the things they do are obviously problematic so they dont put out marching orders on paper- they verbalize them. This is where the original intent is...

point taken- what good does it do me or the Army to know whether or not I own guns? How is this helping me if this is what they are trying to do? Why not ask if I feel like hurting myself? I dont know- just dont get the point of the questions since there was nothing else they wanted to know.

rikersisland1, I'm not criticizing so much as I am wondering wtf they are up to. If they were so worried about me having guns, maybe they should have considered asking me if I was going to turn one on myself. Instead now all they have is a checkmark by my name (and many others) under the...

I rec'd a call today from my CB-WTU and they asked two questions they say are related to the recent increase in suicides: 1- Do you own any firearms? 2- Are they under lock and key? Apparently everyone is being asked this. I realize there is a suicide problem in the Army, but what is next...

JFYI- I made a complaint to my State IG office about three weeks ago reference this. Resolution is in my favor- The finding is based upon the fact that the PDES system is the only mechanism in the Army that determines ultimate fitness for duty. Until I am rated as "unfit" by the Army, the IG...

I had all kinds of problems w/ it also. Google "army G1 PPG" and the first link located should work for ya. http://www.armyg1.army.mil/MilitaryPersonnel/ppg.asp

Rikers, Thanks for the guidance. That is the hotline I was referring to. I used them last feb in my MEB case... -They boarded me prematurely to clear the books and I wasnt having any of it, I am still on CBHCO and would have been drawing Social Security and getting spine surgery at the VA...
