I just signed my DA199 on Monday, how long did it take for the PDA to put you on the TRANSPROC system and then recieving orders? Elvin

Mike, I want to thank you. You have been of great help. I have a better understanding an now I am better prepared when I sit down and talk to the PEBLO before I sign my any paperwork. Elvin.

Mike, Also, with those ratings will I be employable or unemployable?

Got it. Thanks. Now, what is LOS retirement?

Also the my PEBLO is calculating 11 years with 11 months of service.

Mike, My VA combat related ratings are 90%.

Sorry but I am a little confused on the offset poriton. So in other words I don't have an option to choose VA if I wanted to? How would that work out if you can explain that to me and let me show you what the PEBLO sent me on friday: DOD 70%= $2666.00 Non-taxable VA 90% = $1992.00...

Tony, Mine did the same thing. I spoke to my MSC and he informed me that when the IPEB sends the VA the SM's packet they have to resubmit a new claim in order to initiate proposed ratings. Understand that does not mean that the time frame for your proposed ratings is going to take any longer...

Invictus, Thanks for the reply. My only confusion is I am still currently on Active Duty. So what I am thinking is that the process for final award is now prior to retirement. Correct? Elvin
