I just wanted to provide a quick update and thank everyone on this site for all of their help. This site is not just a source with a wealth of information but it is also extremely supportive and for that I will be forever thankful. Now to the update: I am being medically retired, I took the...

I go to Texas in the next couple of weeks to appear before a PEB board. Is there anything that I should be aware of before I go? I have been trying to find a list of bases that a service member with asthma can PCS and deploy to, but I haven't had any luck.

Thanks for your response. The thing is it doesn't interfere with my job. I am just on a C2 code and a no running profile for now. In my Commander's letter it states that it doesn't affect my primary duties in my AFSC. The thing my Shirt brought up was that I can go and meet the formal board and...

I spoke with my new CC and he doesn't seem very helpful. I told my CC and 1st Shirt that I plan on going to the formal board and he warned me that if I went that the formal board can reduce my current rating " I now some people who wen to the formal board with 20% and came back with 10%". Is...

Sorry about the late response... I am going to the formal board to see if I can be retained.

An officer at the Airmen Counsel. Jason, what are your thoughts?

I am being advised to wait until after my formal board to request a VA one-time reconsideration.

Thanks for the information. I have had the vapor form of prednisone and the tablets.

Okay, just wanted to make sure there any other supporting documents that I needed.

Mike, What exactly do you think I would need to provide as evidence?

Pebble, I am requesting a consultation on the very matter you addressed.

This is what my AF Form 356 says: Category 1- Unfitting conditions which are commendable and ratable: 1.Lumbar strain. 20 2. Moderate Persistent Asthma. 0 Sorry for any confusion

Thank you all sooooo much for all your advice. I will definitely keep you all up to date. I have gotten in contact with the Airmen's Counsel and I am going to apply for both (FPEB and VA re-consideration). I really want to stay in but I don't think I can take anymore rejection and disappointment.

If I ask for a reconsideration and the VA changes it will that automatically up my percentage on the military side? Secondly, can FPEB decrease my rating for back if I fight for the asthma? I'm just wondering because I know people have been screwed over with this whole process?

Am I suppose to do a one-time consideration or a formal board. You can't do both, can you?
