I wanted to update all of you. I just received my DA 199 and I am being medically retired 80% Army 90% VA. time line: passed out on multiple PT tests summer 2009 implanted cardiac loop recorder Jan 2010 emergency appendectomy July 2010 Catatonic seizure July 2010 while in hospital 20 days...

Good news, just got my preliminary and I have been found unfit by the PEB. It only took 775 days for them to figure this out. They found me unfit for 2 out of 15 conditions. Sinus Node Disfunction/pacemaker and what they are calling irritable bowel disorder/disease. Jason, I have a question...

they are more inclined to get me into the CBWTU at this time. I have a good 1SG. If I were to add the last 3 months were I wasn't being boarded and added the last failure of a board to this one I would be at 660 days... I have no illusions...

SO GOOD NEWS... After speaking with the NRMC IG again today, I saw that I got an email from him when I checked my phone as I was leaving work. My profile was finally approved. Now I can move forward with the paperwork to get into the CBWTU!!

an out it an out...? what does that even mean, is that a grammatical error. I am sorry if I offended you, I just ... I can't stand people downplaying some of this stuff. Yes, that is awesome that you can run marathon's. There is a woman who raised money for "wake up narcolepsy" who ran the...

This is the same garbage I have listened to for years. I am lucky. I am a SSG and most people respect me and don't lump me into the "problem soliders." But I read a post that Jason wrote a while back that spoke about the low low percentage of malingerers. Now as for Narcolepsy; if someone...

Well this is not my first rodeo, I just went through a huge battle with my last MEB that ended with RTD in March. My last MEB physician said she was positive I did not have syncope, and yet I did have concrete proof in my chest, on an internal loop recorder. So now, as I have stated, I just...

I was recommended for MEB/PEB in August of 2010, the MEB was stopped in FEB 11', it was restarted in April 11', VA confirmed 12 conditions in JUN 11', 4 were unfitting, waited for NARSUM from 30 AUG 11' to 1 DEC 11', 333113 was changed to 131111 and in MAR 12' was RTD. Two weeks later John's...

My command is working with me now to get into the CBWTU and my congressional is also formally requesting my acceptance into the CBWTU-VA, so hopefully this all will work out

Oh I agree, with my MEB back in Febuary I went to JAG, had a full appeal that was air tight, NOTHING. I went to ombudsman, NOTHING. I went to my Post IG, who sent me to the Northern Regional Medical Command IG, NOTHING. I went to my congressman, and sorta NOTHING, but more than anything else...

Your right, my mistep. But I have not been unsatisfactory, I have been on profile preventing me from doing this task. It is not my fault that the IDES system is so inept.

A bit of hillarity just occured. I just came back to work after my con leave for my pacemaker surgery. My doctor is in the process of submitting paperwork for yet another MEB and we are trying to get me into the CBWTU-VA. I was just informed this morning that my brigade is trying to chapter...

My Congressional Inquiry has had some legs. Obviously this was spurred on by the fact that the inquiry pointed towards an incompetence of medical care and the entire cardiology department at John's Hopkins agreed that the best course of action was to implant a pacemaker. So I just had the...

If you are separated with severance than the commander has the discretion to approve/deny your terminal leave. If you are being separated with 30% or more than you are being medically retired and they must allow you to take your full retirement leave plus 20 days permissive tdy for job hunting...

I was found fit for duty in Feb '12 by the MEB; my case didn't even make it to the PEB. It was as if they were trying to prevent a PEB from happening. The MEB doctor had never met me, wrote a variance memo against 4 unfitting conditions that the VA had confirmed. I had a heart monitor...

you said that your evals and APFT were good at the time of your separation, that might hurt you. If you were unable to perform your duties than your ABCMR would have a greater chance of siding in your favor. As for Landstuhl, both the PEBLO and MEB physician are really great there. I had...

The ombudsman was useless, my appeal was elegant and heavy, it too was useless, the Northern Regional Medical Command IG was useless, hopefully the inquiry from Congress will help. The funny thing is my PCM is putting me in for another MEB as soon as I send him the results indicating my need...

Jason, I just got diagnosed with POTS and I am getting a pacemaker because of unexplained asystole events that I have been having 3-6 times a year since 2006. I have other conditions as well. Currently I just recieved my MEB decision of my appeal after being in the IDES system for 18 month. I...

wow what crap is that, well at least it is 10% and not nothing, Jason is it still the standard that you get put on TDRL for 18 months after a pacemaker?
