That 1186 looks the same as the one that I just submitted today, but there is a new copy out there that was just updated in Feb of 2015. The only place it's found is in the PEBLO guide, but that's only released to PEBLOs and somewhat difficult to get. I had the letter for my wing cc written...

I found out through the OAC that there has been exactly one case of insulin dependent diabetes that was allowed to stay in (not on LAS or through TRDL or anything else). They found the person unfit at every level (despite high level command pushing to keep them in) and it eventually went to a...

I would have them check for antibodies if I were you - if the tests are negative, the only other explanation is exposure to something. Doesn't matter much for the whole staying in or getting out thing, but maybe still worth knowing just for yourself. Good luck

T1D, I'm in a similar situation, but only a little over 11 years in. Have you heard of limited assignment status? It's outlined on here and in AFI, it fits your case well depending on what exactly your job is. The catch is, from what I've been told by numerous sources, it's a huge longshot...

Thanks for the info, what you said makes sense although like you said that contradicts the literature about the process. The worst part about this whole process (other than the whole being sick thing...) is trying to figure out what the right info is. You guys and this site are the best info...

So my OAC lawyer just said that because I am complete with the C&P, the VA is already in the process of making a ratings determination and I should get that in a couple of weeks in spite of the fact that my case hasn't been sent to the IPEB yet? So basically no matter what I put in a letter of...

Thank you both so much for the replies. I can't express how much help is appreciated right now. I finally got an Lt at the OAC to call back today and she's going to review the draft letter of exception I wrote tomorrow. She feels strongly that I should request the IMR and submit the letter...

So I just got the final NARSUM, MEB results and C&P results back. There are some inconsistencies in the C&P results, but I think overall relatively minor ones. The NARSUM was just like the draft I saw and I think it is fairly good. So here's the urgent questions I need to figure out before...

I guess I'll wait to see what the final NARSUM says since they did eventually get everything on that 21-0819, just all but one thing on the back. Thanks again for all the great help and advice - it is greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much for the info-greatly appreciated. So who got to determine from my PCMs NARSUM what got put on the 21-0819? And then who will determine what makes the final NARSUM? Should I be worried about the 21-0819 at this point or just wait to see what's on the final NARSUM? And I'm...

Hello, Got a copy of my NARSUM that my PCM wrote that went to the IRLO which came back for full MEB. But I had the initial meeting with the VA MSC today and both he and the PEBLO said that the even though the original NARSUM had 4 unfitting conditions, they would only put 1 condition on the VA...
