As already mentioned, communicate your desire to delay with your PEBLO. If they are any good at their job (not guaranteed apparently), they can help you slow things down. I had my IPEB in June and my PEBLO made sure my FPEB was not scheduled until December! Then talking to legal was able to get...

I have been told that service members are always separated on the last day of the month. Is this not accurate? Can anyone personally confirm or direct me to an official reference which would cover this?

Not applicable for everyone, but CRSC is also not divisible by a former spouse

Apologize if this has been covered previously...I did a search and could not find anything directly related. Is the fact that I am in IDES enough to exempt me from the ACFT or would I need a standard profile?

My lawyer is telling me that in order to reuest a VARR of a condition it must be one of the unfiting condidtions. Is this true? I thought you could request a VARR for any condition. Am I wrong???

Talk to your PEBLO and make sure they are tracking your 20 year mark. I understand that every PEBLO is different, but mine was more than sympathetic about trying to help me delay as long as possible. My PEB met in June and my IPEB was not scheduled until December (and it apparently may not be...

I was notified of my MEB in FEB23 at 18 years and 10 months. My informal board met in early June. They did not schedule my formal board until December and when I contacted legal at Sam Houston they offered to move it as late as February. Use all the usual delay tactics if you need it, but if...

If you are in IDES you can start a skillbridge at any time.

Does this depend on service? I am Army. I thought I would have my DD-214 prior to final final out...

I really need some advice on how to plan my transition. Based on my FPEB date, I am confident that my final out will be in April 2024 (20 year longevity). I am in the process of setting up a skillbridge program. Hoping to do a six-month internship. How does my out-processing work? When will...

Just FYI, for anyone curious about current wait times. I received my IPEB findings 1JUN and requested a FPEB. I just got notified today that the FPEB will be held 12DEC23 over zoom. Good news for me as I am trying to delay till APR24. Not so good news if you are in a hurry...

In my C&P exam for my neck it says: "The condition started 2005. The condition began when carrying body armor, helmets, and rucks sacks and sitting in vehicles for long periods of time." Do you think that is enough to justify CRSC?

Thank you for the response. AD Army So Army will make a completely independent decision on CRSC eligibility for each claimed condition? And it is up to me to supply concrete evidence?

I got my IPEB results today. 20% DOD 100%VA. I have a few issues with the actual breakdown which I intend to address through FPEB and VARRs. I have two questions...first, is there any way to get my V codes prior to separation? I am mostly concerned about my CRSC at this point and would like...

What was your experience requesting the COAD? I will not hit 20 years until April 2024 and started IDES in February. I think I can just delay but have COAD in my back pocket.
