Thanks popa_top2000, Wow, your story sounds scary but familiar. I've seen/heard a lot of horror stories. I have a decent PEBLO. She calls when things change but in between those time I don't hear from her. That's okay with me. At least she isn't leaving me in the dark. Hopefully it doesn't...

Thanks carnelli53, My NARSUM was returned because the doc mentioned a residual issue but didn't say if it was fitting or unfitting. After he fixed it my paperwork was "lost" while waiting for signatures for about three weeks. My PEBLO let me know and the next day it was hand-carried to get...

My packet was returned to have my doctor clarify some things he listed/failed to list on the NARSUM. The packet was sent back this week. My question; will it go to the bottom of the pile as if it were a new case arriving at to the PEB or will it get put in at the top? My packet originally went...

I'm not an expert but it doesn't seem as if you are able to be retained.

mrperfect: It depends; can you perform your assigned job with little to no problems? Can you wear your protective gear and deploy? There is a list of task that every “Soldier” (I'm not sure about other branches) has to be able to do in order to stay in. If you cannot, you will most likely be...

mrperfect: It seems you are on the IDES. You said on the NARSUM they only mentioned your back and ankle, by that do you mean they only wrote unfit for those on the cover sheet? If that's the case then don't worry. They will be the only things that the military look at to determine if...

If the doctor who wrote your NARSUM wrote that then it seems he is contradicting himself. I would ask him or your PEBLO to explain. It seems he said with rehabilitation you will get better and it is acceptable and followed that with it's an unacceptable condition. Get clarification.

According to the DoD Policy Memorandum Implementing the 2008 NDAA, the IPEB has 40 days to return your packet. With said, it could be longer. It all depends on the board. If you are found unfit, agree with the IPEB, your paperwork would be sent to the VA to assess a rating. That timeline...

Hopefully that works out for you. It all depends on where you're stationed. We have a lot of folk going through the program here and there weren't enough doctors for us all. By the way, are you in the DES pilot program? It sounds like you may be under the old system. Did you meet with a VA rep...

latasand, I believe your husband needs to pay a visit to his PEBLO if he can't get an answer on the phone. Also, if your husband has the number for the doctor who wrote the NARSUM I would contact her. Be advised that the doctor who wrote the NARSUM doesn't have the last say on it. It has to be...

For those who are just getting started, the time it takes from start to exiting the military depends on many things. My case has taken a while although my issues aren't that complex. I was told it could take up to a year and at this point it may exceed that if I am found unfit and have to wait...

I'm going to bump this because I have the same thing on mine and would love the answer...

Thanks Jason. I'm so glad you have this forum. I would have lost my mind with all of the uncertainty of the process. Although, I am a fan of the DES program because I would hate to have to do all of the VA stuff after I got out. Now if Army beats Note Dame this will be a great day!;)

I have my NARSUM packet and I would like to know how to understand it. Well, the medical part. I am trying to compare what the doctor wrote to the VASRD but I can't find the numbers the doctor used on the rating page anywhere. Am I missing something? Or am I supposed to just read the...

I know I'm a little late but if you haven't gotten any information yet this may help. Your P3 will have to be reevaluated every five years. It says so in the permanent box. When you get to your new duty station and go through SRP ask the doctors there. They will reevaluate you when you do your...

Update, signed NARSUM finally... That didn't take too long did it? Now I wait some more. The packet should be mailed off tomorrow and I'll update when I get it back. Jan. 29 Date of Physician's Notification of MEB Action Feb. 9 Date of initial PEBLO Counseling July 9 Physical Exam...

Thanks Jason. I just wanted to be sure that I wasn't being set up for failure. Two months just for the dictation seemed extreme. I would hate for my test to be outdated by the time the doctor finished his dictation or that it took too long and i had to do the dictation over. I was told the...

Now that it has officially been two months since I met with the doctor who is supposed to dictate my NARSUM and he is not finished yet is there anything I can do about this? All I got from my PEBLO is that this is not unusual but that seems rather vague to me. All of my information was pretty...

Josh and Marine, Thank you. Whenever I sign my NARSUM, I'll post the information form the doctor and keep my time line updated. Thanks again and Josh I hope they give you what you deserve.

Jason, I am in the DES program and here is my break down: Jan. 29 Date of Physician's Notification of MEB Action Feb. 9 Date of initial PEBLO Counseling July 9 Physical Exam Completed Sept. 13 Date of MEB Physician Appointment: I have maxed out care. I broke a bone in my leg during...
