I could request a formal board but they have the ability to deny it...which at this point I'm sure they would and honestly my nerves can take the bad news. I completed all my C&P exams before my board was packaged and sent to DC on 20 October. No, ultimately my package was not forwarded to...

Venting-----My package was sent to the board on 20 Oct. This morning I was notified that I was found Presumed Fit--Fit to continue on active duty. As disturbing as that finding is to me it's the paragraph on the second page from the board which makes my blood boil and steam come out of my...

Update on day 50. Notified by my PEBLO that I was Found Presumed Fit.

I'm a Marine and I'm at 49 days, still don't know if I'm fit or unfit.

Thanks for the replies but I should have clarified PFIT. I'm certainly not an expert in any of this so if my verbiage is wrong, I apologize in advance. In some cases, the determination of PFIT given by the PEB to service members with over 20 yrs of active duty service. PFIT means "presumed...

Hello, I'm an active duty Marine officer with 20 years of service. I just met with my PEBLO on Camp Pendleton. My PEBLO stated that the PEB was "no longer giving the PFIT finding" and "giving the service member the benefit of the doubt" that they would have stayed on AD longer if medically...

I must be nutty, I swear I read in your post that you were a Marine. Ha. Ok. I feel the same way about getting help. I've been in treatment since Feb of this year but I wish I went back in 2011 upon my redeployment. I have to say that I still struggle to see the light at the end of this...

Just taking a chance here but...If you are on Camp Pendleton try the Warrior Deployment Health Clinic (or something like that??) located over near the old Naval Hospital or go to mental health at NH Camp Pendleton. Both places take walk ins. If you don't click with your provider, ask to see...

I'm a Marine being seen at the Naval Hosp. My Dr. placed me on my first period of limited duty in April of this year and started my MEB in Late May. Apparently she believes I will never be well enough to continue on as a field grade officer...I agree.

I'm no help whatsoever because I'm still finishing my C&P exams but I just read your post and I feel for you! Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry to hear about your long wait. Hang in there!!

Hello All, I don't have an answer for this one but I have a second question on TheBears question. I'm still confused on how the over 20 AD medical retirement pay works. I currently have 20 years of active duty time. Say I'm medically retired with 70% DOD. Is my military retirement pension...

Hi Jason, 1. I am currently on active duty. I have a total of 8 months of reserve time and I have 20 years active duty time. 2. I have been struggling with PTSD and depression since a major event in Nov 05, further complicated by a 12 month deployment to OEF from 2010-2011. I dissociated...

Hi All, I'm a 20 year plus Marine being boarded for MDD with dissociation and PTSD. I started my C&P exams a few weeks back but the psych exam was a huge trigger for me, I had a big setback and I wasn't (physically or mentally) able to complete my physical exams. So, to get to my question, a...
