Fairchild AFB Timeline

Today marks 4 weeks for me as well. I called and talked to my PEBLO and he said AFPC is backlogged. and a lot of the MyFSS systems were down all last week which will likely delay things more.

Hanging in there with you guys! Hope we hear something soon.
Was told that packages that were sent to AFPC just before mine are getting results back, so hopefully we should hear something back today or next week. This is taking forever.

Was just told the same.
 
Today is 40 days since DP2NP submission
 
Talked to PEBLO after reading DAFMAN 48-108 (doing anything to keep my brain busy during this time) It states that after NARSUM and CIS are completed and IRLO package is finished the local AMRO board makes a decision before it goes to AFPC who is ultimately the ones who makes the final decision of RTD or full MEB. I was curious what my local AMRO board decided, and he said they recommended full MEB to APFC. Hopefully AFPC agrees.

He also told me ones submitted right before mine came back this week so mine should be next. He is out of the office tomorrow but is hopeful to have answer for me Monday.

Hope you guys hear something soon.
 
Got my answer this morning. Full MEB. Hope you hear something soon!
Got my answer as well - more documentation required about other conditions potentially unfitting.
I am wondering how can that be interpreted (is the original claim denied?)

Doesn't sound like a denial to me! Im sure your PEBLO has some insight
 
Got my answer this morning. Full MEB. Hope you hear something soon!
Got mine back as well last Thursday. AFPC needed an additional piece of paperwork to clarify what was on my CIS. That should be sent back to PEBLO this week or next. PEBLO said once he sends that back to AFPC, that my adjudicated results should be a quick turn and burn back to us. Sounded like full MEB was the answer but just needed to clarify some of my paperwork! crossing fingers for fast return and a full MEB.
 
**UPDATE**

- June 2025
- PCM stated since nothing else works or helps that MEB would be next step.
- 11 Jul - Code 37 Applied, Do not retain and NARSUM was sent to AFPC, still waiting for CC impact statement to be started and signed.
- 24 Jul - CIS signed and routed back to PEBLO (PEBLO said they will be routing on Monday when they are back).
- 5 Aug - PEBLO sent IRILO to AFPC.
- 25 Aug - Checked in with PEBLO, still awaiting response. They said its taking about 4-6 weeks right now with PCS season and all of the halted PCS craziness. I was told to expect it to be another week or two before they receive anything back.
- 25 Aug - Checked with PEBLO again, relayed AFPC is still very backlogged. Was told to expect another couple of weeks.
- 9 Sep - Its been two weeks since i last checked with PEBLO, i still have not heard anything. (Understandable things are backlogged. But this is starting to get frustrating)
- 1 Oct - PEBLO emailed and said i have been directed to the DES (not sure what that means). The attached document in the email stated "After review this member requires a Full Medical Evaluation Board for a retention decision by the PEB." It also has a box checked for Dx Code 1 5242 (also unsure what that means).
So in my best guess, I've been directed to move forward with a full Med board.
