Ok here it is again for those of you looking for a timeline once you meet the formal board. For those who have not seen my previous posts... Aug 30th I met the formal board and got 70% DOD from original 30% 25 September recieved my retirement orders stating my retirement date is 28 November...

Here is an idea of what to expect at the formal board. I am sure others may be different, but it seemed pretty orderly. The people working at the Airmans counsel as well at the FPEB have all seemed very nice and acomodating. SO I arrived at Lackland for my formal board on Monday. I met with...

I just declined the IPEB decision of 30% Airforce and 100% VA, and have elected to meet the Formal Board to attempt to get my AF rating to 70%. I got 30% for my neck--less than 15degrees forward flexion. The VA gave me 50% for my thoracolumbar (back) for anklyosis of the entire thoracolumbar...

OK here it goes, posting in spine and back, as this was my main reason for MEB. DOD 30% and VA 100% My unfitting service disabling condition was cervicalgia---my neck Claimed as neck condition (referred to as antier cervical discectomy and fusion with persistant pain/weakness---30% So that...

Meb started in October 2011, you can look back at my other posts for a history, but just checked e-benefits today and it said my decision notification was sent. I am on leave right now, so I called the VA to see what info I could get, an the kind lady informed me ( read the letter the sent me)...

My main reason for my MEB was for Cerviculgia? sp? but I had many other claimed conditions to go to the VA. One of those being my right knee. I had an MRI that showed torn miniscus and basically that was annotated by the VA C&P Dr. Well since that time of the exam my MEB has gone forward and...

Ok i just spoke withj my PEBLO a week or so ago, and She stated the only thing I can contest is the "Fit" or "Unfit" rating. She said they no longer allow anyone to fight for better ratings or conditions.... Is all this true? I think she is just trying to push me through. My package is...

So I have been going through the whole MEB process and I have had my VA medical appointment, and my PEBLO has now sent off my package to AFPC for a fit or unfit decision, from there she said it will go to Baltimore for ratings. What I need clarification on is this: I only had 1 condition...

Just got informed by my PEBLO who was at some PEBLO meeting this last week that the Air Force average time from start of MEB to being retired or seperated is about 414 days. She said AFPC admitted to being the ones who were behind and they still expected all the people in the IDES follow the...

So I have started the MEB process, and I have met with my PEBLO. I am Air Force for those of you who have not seen any of my other posts. So my PEBLO informed me of my upcoming process with the VA etc. She gave me a sheet stating what I needed to bring with me for my first interaction with...

Ok, I met with the MEB processor and my PEBLO, and they did my initial (rough draft) NARSUM, on there it only lists Cervicalgia (c-spine) as my chief complaint. In other words this is what I am being boarded for and as it was explained to me is that this is the 1 and only condition that will...

Just curious if anyone knows the possibility of getting C coded? My commander got the message from the base MEB case manager saying he needed to write a letter for my MEB. He asked if there is any way the Air Force can put me on a C code to prevent me from deploying etc. It also would entail...

My profile was updated today and on my af form 469, it now states that I am being meb'd vs the box being checked saying I will be tree in 31-365 days. I didn't notice it until I was back at my office. Does this officially mean they have started the MEB process, and if so will my PCM be...
