Well, like I said above, it started with being denied reenlistment. And the reasons cited were entirely symptoms of my fibro. So I called my doctor, told him that, and asked for an MEB outrighht. I never saw a specialist off-base. From what I understand documentation from that can be used...

I'm not sure what a 199 is, but I got my documents yesterday. Both AF and VA. I have to get my leave and PTDY calculated and submit a requested retirement date, and my PEBLO says I should get my orders NLT 2 weeks after that.

Not yet, but I have a pretty active PEBLO and a supportive First Sergeant so I'm pretty sure we can make it happen without a ridiculous delay. Also I am like...REALLY aggressive. I had to fight for this medboard(they were just not gonna let me reenlist. I found out less than 6 weeks before my...

About 7 months from my Code 37 date.

SO I got 40% DOD for a permanent medical retirement. And I don't know the breakdown, but I do know that I'll be getting 100% VA disability. SO THAT'S EXCITING. I'll be out of the military by Halloween. I'm a little in shock.

UGH my claim page on the VA page has 3 items. The bottom-most one says "Claim for compensation updated on September 22, 2021" and the status is still "evidence gathering, review, and decision." The middle one says "updated September 23" and the status is "closed." Then at the very top it says...

I had rather the opposite--I was supposed to get a medical hold/extension for 6 months and medical standards refused to put it in, so I had to submit a normal extension request myself in order to get my MEB worked. My PEBLO said 6 months would work, but I threw in a year just to be safe and...
