Wishing Well has been waiting since 10 Aug (still is), so I am at least a week away...
Hey just a heads up for those going to the seperation briefs at Waller Hall.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THEM CHECK THE TRANSPROC LIST 10 TIMES BEFORE YOU LEAVE IF THEY TELL YOU THAT YOU AREN'T ON THE LIST!
I went to Waller Hall 4 times to try and get my retirement brief knocked out and they told me "I wasn't on the list". I pitched a fit the last time (yesterday) and told them that HRC and my PEBLO had told me I was on TRANSPROC and if I wasn't on the list they need to call someone. They "checked the list again" and magically I was "finally" on it.
What a joke!

If you talked to that hispanic lady up there, she is very lazy. The person you should talk to is Mr. Griffin, he is the guy that will do his job. Plus he is the boss there! BTW the faster you get the retirement stuff I listed the faster he will cut your orders.

So you call the JBLM ombudsman, and they told you that there is a backlog? I was thinking about calling the JBLM ombudsman tomorrow to see what is the hold up. I only have 3 conditions that need to be written up on the DA 199, so what they only have 1 person writing these things. That's crazy!!! You have been waiting way longer than I have, and this week will make 4 weeks since the 199 has been in the typing phase. (Been in "typing phase" since 10 Aug, 2012) I think I will still call and find out exactly where I am in the pile of BS. I understand for those who have 10+ conditions, it might take a min to write that up. However, I only have 3 and the third one came from the VA adding it onto my file so in reality I only had 2 overall conditions. Thanks for the update!!!
I'm not at JBLM but the PEB is the same regardless and the PEBLO's regardless where stationed have no control over this phase expect continuing to email or call the PEB. I only have two conditions, however I have seen fellow Soldiers around my same timeline as mine or even earlier DA199s come back. I am not sure how the system works in that part of deciding which case to work or type at the said dates. I also heard that the PEB had some personal changes which could be causing delay as well.
Yeah it's pretty rediculous that they only have one person on this post to write up the 199 for the whole PEB here... It is waaaaayyyy to big of a work load, my question would be wth will they do if that person dies in an accident or gets really sick?!?!?! PEB goes to even worse shitty situation than what it is now that's what!!!!
Crap! I was found unfit around the 20th of Jun. I guess my "typing phase" is a couple weeks behind you. The wait is killing me.
Grizz13,
LOL! Thanks Buddy, but I think that I am going to to dial-down my time-line expectation to get my 199. I have 7-8 DoD claims and my 199 has been in "typing phase" since the 15th of last month. It looks like I am two weeks behind wishingwell and shadow. Maybe, if I tell myself it is going to be 3 more weeks, maybe I won't drive the wife and kids up the wall...
I am really starting to hate the conventional Army for creating this process.
Just talked to my PEBLO. The PEB informed him the current expected wait-time after the packet starts the "typing phase" is currently six weeks. Mine has been in typing-phase for around four-weeks. The packet has been printed and is currently waiting for the PEB's signature(s).
FYI, they started a new stream-lined process and they hadn't expected the increased flow of packets in the typing-phase. JBLM-PEB currently has over 700 packets that they are currently reviewing. Those bubbas are working to get the packets done, but they still need to work on sharing information with the customers.
I hope this helps the JBLM bubbas and bubbetts. Thanks your all of your service.

DA 199 in Typing Phase: 10 Aug 2012
DA 199 is In: 10 Sept 2012
DoD and VA gave a rating of 10%. From what I have read thru my paperwork, I do not qualify for 20% because my flexion is 110 and extention is 0. My ROM is pretty good, which I expected but I am still going to see legal on Wednesday just to make sure everything is everthing. Overall, I good and I am ready to good. PEBLO said coming on the Transproc list and getting orders have been averaging 3-4 weeks.
Thank you for the update! That means I should be less than a week out from my IPEB 199. My PEBLO stated that I am just waiting for a signature from the board.
grizz13,
10% DoD and 10% VA.
10% DoD and 10% VA.
eagleone,
I didn't have any pain during the ROM testing.

For the most part YES!!! And most definitely I will be able to bump that VA side up as time goes by.
