One point- the regulations of the military branches do discuss this issue (I am not going to do a deep dive now and provide specific cites to each service's regulations). However, this option is a requirement of Federal Law- 10 U.S. Code § 1209 - Transfer to inactive status list instead of...

Two main points- You already have a thread about your grandson's issues and I responded to it earlier. So, keeping to one thread is the best way to get good input. Second, the main issue seems to be that your grandson chose to accept a voluntary admin separation. Any other issues are going...

This seems like a threshold issue- he accepted a voluntary admin separation; if that was his election and he still wants to be out as soon as possible, that is likely the path he needs to take. However, it may not be the correct path or the best path. With the injuries described and their...

There are a ton of issues that you have raised about your Grandson's case that would need to be addressed or answered before providing meaningful input. While most of the rules and processing are similar between the services, there are different regulations that apply depending on the branch of...

Yeah, I guess. Like big Guinea Pigs or hamsters. At the hotel where I was (northern part of Colombia), they were around all the time. Just part of the scenery. Some of the locals said that some folks eat them. Not sure if I would be down for that, but they were definitely common and "part of the...

While this (above) post means to be helpful, my experience has shown that there is little that any local (to the member) commander can do to hurry along with cases that are already forwarded to the PEB. Now, there are commanders and there are commanders that have pull and are willing to dig in...

Many of you know @RonG as a former member of the moderation team here and as a long time contributor to this forum. A few years ago, RonG asked to step back from being on staff. He has earned whatever role he wants to take and we are grateful for his help and assistance to folks on the forum...

There are a lot of issues and possible entitlements that may make it very advantageous for you getting a military retirement . I am not clear at all about all of the facts of your case. And I am not sure at all about the statement by my (great and very knowledgeable friend Provis) that you don't...

This response is before your direct questions. But, seems to me you were unfit when you left active service. You might consider filing an application with the Board for Correction of Naval Records. You can do this on your own. You might be better served by having the assistance of a lawyer...

And, while I am HOT on this topic, let me hit on the most immediate error in the AFI: "1.1. The Line of Duty (LOD) Determination and its Objective. An illness, injury, disease or death sustained by a member while in a qualified duty status is presumed in the line of duty (ILOD). The burden of...

Quick note- I am sure there are other instances in AFIs where this happened, but the above cite to AFI 36-2910 is the first regulation I have seen in the disability arena that specifically references the US Space Force and Guardians.

Not sure if you are tracking this update to the regulation regarding LODs, but either way, here you go: https://static.e-publishing.af.mil/production/1/af_a1/publication/dafi36-2910/dafi36-2910.pdf

I wish I had more direct help for you on your immediate issues. That said, I am very interested in this issue of the military branches refusing to do LOD's on members and referring cases as Non-Duty Related (or not referring cases at all based on "someone" (not the right authority) thinking...

Not sure what your question is here. if it is about the timelines, I have no recent data for that (in a case with additional exams ordered). You might check with your PEBLO for updates.

I completely understand the frustration that the whole medical disability process can cause members (or Veterans fighting for redress). None of this is to take away from your frustration. It is not very clear exactly what you are asking or arguing about in your post. Though you did not...

True, however, it is the mods and the members that make this site more than just a blog.
