Matt, You have a few choices in regards to cross rating. You have a certain time (I'm not sure anymore what it is) to apply for different jobs that you may want. The problem is the community has to take you and lots of the other rates are drawing down. You can choose not to re rate and you'll be...

SIgned DD 214 today. Then had to go back so the supervisor could sign it. Amazing how hard it was to get my paperwork done. It's not like I'm the first person to get out of the navy. At least I got my pw to the VA today.

Sorry I've been off. Had some stuff to get done. Moreno- They have you relax and move your joints around, feeling for smoothness of motion, catches and pain. You need to tell them when you get pain so they mark it correctly. I'm lucky? because my wrists stop about the pain area. It's not too...

Got the message today. Separation on the 31 of August. Trying to finish up getting leave approved so I can get out of here and head to my new home. Looking forward to finishing up all this paperwork.

Got the message today. Last day is Aug 31, 2012. Trying to get finished up by tomorrow.

FUnny how there's a rule, but PERS thinks it doesn't apply, right? I don't think they're giving me any more time since the message should get to me by next week/week after and my 60 days runs out about the 9/10 of september. I'm pretty sure that "they" think I'm getting my message plenty early...

PERS might actually send my message next week! Or not. Definitely not holding my breath.

Talked to the PEBLO today and she told me that PERS has my paperwork and is number 594 and they're on 590, so maybe next week. At least they're moving. I think. So ready to be done with all this.

It's been almost 4 weeks since I signed my results and I'm getting impatient. I called PERS and they are waiting on the index from the PEB. (After about 30 min and 4 phone transfers). He also said they usually get the index 6-8 weeks after it's signed and then PSD has 60 days to separate me...

Still waiting for orders. It'll be a month on the 10th. Sigh...

I was rated for limited motion if in the left shoulder at 20% and for pain in the wrists since I don't have enough limitation in ROM in them. I also was rated for limited ROM in my spine at 10% since I also don't have enough limitation in it. Here's the list of my conditions and ratings: AS...

I had my right wrist attributed to rheumatoid arthritis and left shoulder due to degenerative arthritis. Nothing was attributed to the spondylitis. I also had patellofemoral disease in both knees and my right elbow had some greek word, but I can't extend it all the way. I have a lot of 0% that...

Mike, There's no evidence (yet) of any joint damage. I have minor calcification of the bones in my wrist, but nothing in any of the other joints that shows up on X-rays. My MRI of my SI joints shows normal, no damage. My rheumatologist told me that I'm early in the disease and haven't had much...

My command is actually being helpful, mostly. The real problem is I can't set up a move until I get orders and that's the longest, most problematic thing I need to do. I've already got one job offer and another may be coming, but I don't know when I can start work or when I can move me, my wife...

So I signed my election of options today. Decided to take the ratings as they are and separate the 31st of August. I've got about 25 days of leave coming to me, including house hunting and such. PEBLO said it could take 2-3 weeks for my orders to show up. More waiting, I guess. I hope I can get...

Results are in!! 10% DOD, 80% VA. 280 Days from start to results.

I'm meeting with my MSC soon to figure all this out, but I think I have a good idea so far, mostly due to this site. I get the severance since I'm less than 30% DOD. I will have to pay back the severance, but not lose all my VA monthly payments to do it. I lose 10% (my DOD rating) of the VA...

Had meeting with PEBLO today. My 10% DOD is based on the spondolytis, but since I don't have debilitating episodes I only get the 10%. It doesn't look like I'll be able to get more than that and probably won't get the 30% I need for retirement. The 80% V is based on the arthritis and a bunch of...

Results are in! Talkig to PEBLO today to see about my options. Currently have 10% DOD, 80% VA. I'm thinking I should have at least 40% DOD based on my arthritis needing Humira to be "normal". I'll see what I can do and update y'all later.

So I called my PEBLO THursday, after being "encouraged" to by my Coc. I found out from her that they just shifted to a new tracking system and my package now says information is needed. She didn't know if it would affect my timeline since she only found out they shifted it over when she got a...
