AFPC cuts the orders....you do not choose your final day. permissive leave is taken before that final date. usually you have 90 days from when you get the retirement order. at least this was my case

Got my final award from the VA and my Spondylosis and disk disease of lumbar spine---50% was lowered to 20% in the final award and my Right carpal tunnel with ulner neuropathy---30% was raised to 50%. I did make a post in the VA forum, but how can the VA lower from my proposed rating to my...

sorry this is a way late answer but. after the FPEB, I had retirement orders within 30 days and the retirement date is set by them. Mine was 90 days, but within that 90 days i had terminal leave, outprocessing etc. if you have terminal leave it has to be before the retirement date given to...

I just met the Formal board (Air Force) this week and was sucessfull at getting a category 2 condition changed to a category 1. With that said mine was dealing with my back. I was given crap info from my peblo on the process so I took it upon my self to get the number to the FPEB Airmans...

Here is an idea of what to expect at the formal board. I am sure others may be different, but it seemed pretty orderly. The people working at the Airmans counsel as well at the FPEB have all seemed very nice and acomodating. SO I arrived at Lackland for my formal board on Monday. I met with...

# 1, if my va % was ever to lower, I would resort back to the AF pay, and 30% just doesn't cut it. #2 , my base screwed me and did not add my lower back on the MEB as boardable condition , when in fact they should of, and if they had, my AF % would be 70 or 75 depending on what would of been...
