Formal Board

[FaithInMe]

Has anyone been through a Formal Board, if so please explain how it went? What do I need to do? I'm very nervous.

You need to specify which branch you are in

I apologize. I am new to this thread. I am active duty army.

No problem. The reason the branch is needed is because they are all different.

I'm Navy so I can't help you but there are plenty on here who can.

Good luck.

Your legal attorney should tell you everything you need to gather or do and would speak on your behalf

What were you trying to get a formal board for ?
I'm guessing you haven't talked to your attorney yet , that's why your nervous

Right knee. However, my feet, ankle, and back was added over to unfit. On top of that, I'm in physical therapy. Plus I'm pending surgery. I'm just overwhelmed.

I was supposed to have one because the IPEB did something that didn't make sense & should have been an easy fix. When I had my first conversation with the PEB attorney and he asked me what I wanted the PEB to do he said "that's it?". My attorney agreed it didn't make sense and he was able to have PEB make the changes without actually meeting. It was all done via phone & email.

FWIW, he told me the PEB prefers to resolve any "simple" cases before the board date. YMMV.

Mine was more of clerical error that would have had bigger impacts later on. If something is wrong on the paperwork and that item actually matters (consult attorney) than it is much easier to fix it before you get out.
