    How To Play My Hand

    Please excuse my discrete candor. Yes Sir, I would like to retire with at least 20 active years now that I have made it this far (18.5). I have been rx'd meds for anxiety but told if filled I will be unable to perform my duties for 6 months then reassesed and if still needed a MEB is in order...

    How To Play My Hand

    Thank you all for the support of the wonderful forum. In 2011 I faced a MEB, I was returned to service and promoted in 2012. I am an AGR now with 18.5 TAFMS. I just received my 20 year letter, hoorah! 1.) I have been DX'd with what I do understand to be service related disibilitie(s). All...

    TERA

    Does anyone "know" or anticipate if this (T.E.R.A.) will apply to AGR's? I somehow doubt that it will as the AGR's were never authorized Bonus's when they applied to their MOS/AFSC. Thank you, Never Surrender.

    MEB Dropped Hoorah!

    I was told last month by a USAF Capt (PA) that he was recommending me for a MEB concerning Chronic Kidney Failure and Heat Stroke. I insisted on an appointment with the Flight Surgeon (MD) first. I armed myself with all of my documents this morning and met with the Flight Surgeon LtCol this...

    New Directive Type Memo on Integrated DES

    http://forums.military.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/672198221/m/5700017482001 I've been reading on the TERA issue Congress passed 15 December 2011. It should cary through 2018. I will likely fall between the cracks if entered into the MEB process. Man I really hope not, I have disproved their...

    New Directive Type Memo on Integrated DES

    Hi TSgt Twitch, thanks for the reply. Could be great news indeed. Link http://armyforums.com/news/5177-woo-hoo-15-year-retirements.html I hope this is not approved too late and I will be given an option to retire with 17 AD years and not have to get involved in the IDES. Any thoughts on that...

    New Directive Type Memo on Integrated DES

    I just finished reading the entire document. It answered many questions I had. It spells out the timeline and anticipated process of events. DOD sure must be expecting to have a huge "Reduction In Force" over the next couple of years. I sure hope this new process works to aid those who...

    Felt Pressured to Clear Diagnosis

    Thank you for the information. Yes I am still under the care of a Nephrologist. AFI 48-123 Chapter 5 states that a Heat Stroke requires an automatic MEB. Never Surrender

    Felt Pressured to Clear Diagnosis

    In Short my issues began in May 2011. Since I have been trying to get back to Duty for Promotion and recently found out that I may be facing a MEB and no promotion. Boss said to promote I need to be deployable but can have restrictions. Scared me. My boss said that Heat Stroke was the problem. I...

    Not too wordy at all. This is what is needed, thank you. Looks as if I need to focus in on the Rhabdo related Chronic Kidney Failure and chronic pain with likely recurrence of Heat Illness/Injury, Pulmonary Issues, accurate dx of Insomnia/Anxiety/Stress and additional Chronic documented...

    Retired Disability Income Estimator

    Very informative indeed, thank you TSgt Twitch. I need to know all I can as I feel the screws getting tight. My kidneys are at about 50% capacity and not improving from the Heat related collapse (out for 15 minutes) Rhabdo suffered on base during my PT Eval in May upon finishing my run...

    Retired Disability Income Estimator

    Thank you. That caused a little confusion but at tis point it does not take much on my behalf. 1.) VA funds are tax free. DOD funds are taxable. 2.) What ever the judgement from both as long as DOD finds 30% or higher, I should/could receive anywhere from 30%-50% of my base pay total comp...

    I was told, No More Santuary?

    Thank you Jason. Your attention to this matter is much appreciated. I have learned much over the last 2 weeks and keep organized notes but somehow missed the Sanctuary matter. Seems that I did read this in AFI 48-123 36-101 (AGR) or Titles 10/38 USC. Some of the disinformation floating around is...

    I was told, No More Santuary?

    This is my 3rd thread in a much as three days. I have learned much so far, thank you all. December 12th I was told by our USAF Medical Guru who attended a new class for the IDES currently in use that, Sanctuary no longer applies to anyone. More rules changing this late in the game? If this...
