Class sizes growing, tuition going up, WAY up, and have been way before this "crisis". Simply put, the cost of some of these "rock star" faculty and staff that they have to have in order to stay prestigious has more effect than anything. Sad stuff. Money trumps everything I guess.

Good stuff man! Definatley post what they rated you for, etc. Its all in the details brother! Us hunch-backs gotta stick together :p!!

I'm sorry to hear about your husbands injury and that you guys are having such a tough time with the system. Its hard enough without having to struggle with what should be obvious to the military. PTSD is a hot topic right now (as are TBI, which might be a factor when an IED is involved as...

I need some help Hi tmp, Welcome to the site! Short answer on both your questions is no and no. If you are reffered to an MEB, they will usually hold you in one spot until you are either found fit, or are out. Being a term of service retiree (hit the 20 year mark) is the goal I would think...

Hi Laura, First off, I just wanted to say that I can see your frustration, and I know it must be painful to struggle with this system we have, especially when you are also watching your husband struggle. Just know that you aren't alone and there are lots of people here and elsewhere that...

The calculation should round up if you have over 6 months....that is to say if you have 9 years and 8 months, you should be counted as having 10 years of service for this purpose. If you have 9 years, 5 months and 29 days, as I understand it, you are counted at having 9 years for serverance pay...

Thanks for the well wishing! I'm feeling pretty good about the whole thing so far....we shall see! The new PEBLO I was assigned for the PEB portion said its taking about four to five weeks to get the packets back from Walter Reed right now. Works for me! Thank you Rob42 (Tucci) for the impact...

Just got a call from the MEB- they have my packet back from the DCCS signed, and I have been referred to the PEB. Gotta be there on Monday at 1600hrs to review everything, sign some stuff and then the clock starts. I can hardly believe it, after all this time, that I finally get my "day in...

After more than a month of waiting, I'm finally starting to see some movement! I'm waiting on my NARSUM to be blessed off by the DCCS, and my PEBLO just faxed me an updated Profile (added left leg radiculpathy, no standing more than 20 minutes and no weights over 20 pounds). She also needed a...

Figures I had to be DA selected for the WORST three years EVER to recruit, and then it all goes to pot and now its a banner year. Like they say, if it wasn't for bad luck,...etc. :p

Diver, You are correct, they did not conduct the range of motion IAW the guidance given. There isn't any part of the ROM that has them doing a "partner assisted" version....the point isn't to assess how far THEY can get you to go. I would discuss with you PEBLO at least and make sure you...

Welcome! Very sorry to hear about you situation, and I hope with time, things will come along and you can see some relief. You're in the right place for information. Don't be afraid to ask ANYTHING- guaranteed somebody here has some experience with it and can offer some advice. Again, welcome...

Been a while since I've posted here, although I have lurked for quite a while. I've been trying to wrestle this DES for a fit finding for over a year, and have finally decided that I'd be better off moving on. My narrative summary was completed last week and is now being reviewed by the DCCS at...

The methods of torture,...er, I mean treatment are numerous :) Started with a basic exam, "Does this hurt when I doe THIS!", and then x-rays after my second 30 day profile/mortin routine. Finally had an MRI after five months that showed one screwed up spine. I have been through the physical...

Deep breaths man, deep breaths. At least the PEBLO seems like he's on it. Sounds concerned for your situation and willing to point out the parts of the system that he sees are broke. As for the unit,...I don't know what to say. Some times I wonder if I am the first med board my unit has ever...

Hi and welcome to the site! The My MEB takes a little while to update fromt the time data is entered,..maybe a day to three days. I think the PEBLO has a lot to do with what goes in there, as far as consults, date whoever was notified, etc. It helps a little, but I would say honestly things...

Welcome! Stick around and ask any questions you might have,...lots of smart folks around here who have been through the ringer a couple of times. :)

I was at work today, and had some down time, so I stopped in the see what was new on the board. One of the things I noticed was that if I am not logged in, I can still read everyones posts- I basically have all the same rights except for posting I think. What I was wondering was, how do people...

I think I've seen this on CNN about 40 times today. These barracks still exist on Fort Bragg,...I drive by them every day on my way home from work. The fact is, I drive by the other 95% of the barracks that are either built or being built as well. I've been in the new ones,...and I challenge any...

B72, I don't really have anything to add, but I did want to welcome you too the site, and hope that things get worked out for you. This process is sometimes frustrating and you are in the right place to talk with others who can honestly say that they know what you are going through.
