Extremely slow IDES case

Is anyone else having their case drawn out? It is getting ridiculous! I am in Maryland and feel like I gt the short end of the stick. I try and follow up with my PEBLO frequently but she never knows anything and my MTC is impossible to get ahold of. He never answers phone calls or emails. Here is my timeline:

AUG 26 2020: Enrolled into IDES
SEP 02 2020: IDES BRIEF
DEC 28 2020: Initial interview with MTC (YES! THERE IS ALMOST A 5 MONTH GAP!)
FEB 01 2021: Made VA appts FINALLY
MAR 11 2021: Completed appts
APR 15 2021: Find out one of the medical tests from my appts went mysteriously missing and I had to redo it
APR 23 2021: Complete required missing medical test
APR 29 2021: Diagnoses appear on tricare online
....Narrative summary, rating and separation date are all TBD

I have tried my best to email my PEBLO for updates weekly since AUG for updates with the same responses "I don't know the timelines" or "I'll forward you email to MTC". Finally once I got my VA appts I could call QTC for updates but now I have no one reliable to reach out to regarding my NARSUM.

Does anyone else have similar timelines? I'd like to get an idea for when I should receive my NARSUM, rating and separation orders....anything helps.
 
It was two months from the time I enrolled in IDES to the time my MSC contacted me.
 
Slow is the standard.

Where’s your MEB/IDES being processed? Bethesda?
 
Yes, in Bethesda. I did finally get my NARSUM, and sent In a rebuttal. I don’t want it to take months for me to get my ratings! I just want out and this process is so frustratingly slow.
 
I'm also in Bethesda. Who's you PEBLO? We may have the same one. Granted my process isn't going as slow as yours. Also, are you Army?

While the process is frustratingly slow it can also be used for preparation. You're still getting paid and I would use this time to prepare for the next chapter. It can be taxing on the mind, we all know it, but if you use this time to prepare for what might be coming next you could relieve some of that pressure.

Thanks, but I’ve been prepared for over a year. I just want out of this toxic organization.
 
Let me know when you've been notified of your findings! It would be nice to compare timelines
Mine was sent up April 8th and am still waiting. Called peblo today and he said peb members are pcs’ing without replacements showing up so it is taking longer than it is supposed to (shocker). Sorry your timeline is so jacked up
