I believe you are in your 19th year until you reach 20 regardless of the months in-between. LAS should still be an option. Like others have said, you can probably hit your 20 by waiting till the deadline in each stage to appeal. SECAF appeals are taking nearly 10 months. Best to you.

5237 is Lumbosacral or cervical strain. I don't see 5299 and am wondering if the code is a typo. Do you have an issue with your index finger? If so, they may have meant code 5229, Index or long finger, limitation of motion. Electronic Code of Federal Regulations: I'm not sure about your...

Bit confused. What would you be contesting? I didn't see a % rating so my assumption is you are still considered fit. Are you thinking of contesting the diagnosis'? If so that may result in another MEB with unfit findings.

You can always appeal to the formal board. I just learned that my 30% rating allows me to receive the higher of two calculations. Either 30% or my base pay or 2.5 x years in service. I too have been in a bit over 18. Although my rating is 30% I will be receiving approx 45-47% (not sure if its...

To Jackey: December 2010 Packages Hey Jackey, How much TIS do you have? Is your 30% really 30 or more due to your TIS x 2.5yrs? This may have said or another thread somewhere on here, but my memory isn't too good. Thank you and best wishes.

Heading to Lackland today for the FPEB. Please send positive thoughts my way. I'll update when I return. Take care.

I don't understand the early retirement as anyone can retire at 62. You can always appeal and attempt to gain 30% which equals permanent retirement as opposed to 20% or below which means severance. Best to you.

My understanding of profiles, at least in the AF, is they are merely a docs recommendations. A commander can either approve or not.

I wouldn't recommend you listen to the PEBLO regarding percentage possibilities. They are not there for that. Every MEB is different. Since you were offered severance I think fighting is the best thing. Worst case scenario is what the IPEB already found, severance. I would definitely bring...

And by "normal 20 year retirement" you are referring to benefits right? Or did you get a 50% rating as well.

I'm active duty AF and have been able to take local leave with no problems. I was told that any leave outside of the local area would have to be approved through AFPC.

Thank you to both of you...as long as their transportation available I'm good. I will call for airport shuttle reservations as you noted. I'll update when I return. Take care.

Hello everyone, Going TDY to Lackland for my formal hearing. I'm struggling to get a rental car authorized. Does anyone know the availability of airport shuttle services and cabs to get me to and from the airport and the hearing office? Thank you and take care.

Hey Jeep Freak, I'm relieved to read that you understand. Very few people around me truly get what I'm saying regarding my remaining yr and a half to reach 20. Yes, I would more than likely say the same thing to someone else so close to 20, but from my side...staying in may result in admin...

Received my formal hearing date yesterday. I'm scheduled to meet the board (at Lackland) or at least an attorney on 23 Feb. The wait was not long at all.

Hey Mike and thank you, Yes I'm active duty and have, many times, thought of fighting to return to duty. I understand if I continue to excercise my appeal rights, my 20 years may be met just by waiting for the process to be completed. I'm concerned that my mental state may offer an...

Hello everyone, I've decided to appeal the IPEB finding of 30% Perm Ret in hopes for a higher more suitable rating. I've been in the AF for 18 years and was diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). My MEB process has moved rather quickly in comparison to others. I received my formal...

Did you get another PEBLO? I would imagine there aren't many...we only have 2 here at Hurlburt.

I'm active duty Air Force and had a pysch eval last year. It's called MMPI-2 and consisted of a couple hundred questions on a computer. It took me 30 minutes or so and then a psych doc analyses the results. I believe the program itself also spits out a report. The questions are redundant...

My MEB was initiated on 20 Oct 2010 and referred to the IPEB shortly thereafter. I received IPEB findings 18 Jan 2011. I know the waiting for a hearing, if long, is going to drive me mad.
