My Overseas Timeline So Far

Greetings! (From San Diego...)
Sorry I haven’t been active, my family and I PCS’d last month so I can actually start my PEB. It’s crazy though, because I got here having completed the entire med board process, just to be told I have to do it again. So, I am waiting for my appointment with the orthopedist next month to be referred...
I am not sure who told you that, but I do not believe it is correct. I was on Okinawa and received a tour curtailment back to the states to do the VA exams, there are no VA raters overseas. You will receive orders back to the states soon, mine took about a week after the MEB was sent to HQMC. I PCSd in June and just had my first IDES appointment here on Monday. Awaiting VA exams to be scheduled at this time.
Thank you! I was grossly misinformed.

Were you giving the option to stay at your current PDS and go TAD for your C&P exams (as per SECNAV 1850.1 ch.3 sub 5. a)? I am also OCONUS and want to use this policy to stay put throughout my board.

I was not given the option, I would have fought that tooth and nail haha. Are you trying to stay in Japan?

I am certainly going to bring this up to my command and PEBLO. It would be an easier transition for me as I really don't want to move my family multiple times. Although, I don't think my command is going to fund TDY for my broke behind. lol. worth a shot though.

I am in Germany. My leadership is behind me staying but I dont know who gets the final say.

It happens, I left Okinawa in June and am going through IDES now. Let me know if I can help.
I wanted to ask, where did they have you check into? I am referring to, did you stay in your MOS? or are you checking into like headquarters or something? Just curious.

I can only speak on the USMC. I PCSd to a generic HQ unit while I am attending my medical appointments. I am not in my MOS, but many of the other people here are doing their jobs in various companies.

I too am in the MC and I am just trying to get an idea of what to expect. I am in aviation maintenance and was wondering if I was going to get sent to another aviation unit because that's a whole other headache. Thanks for your reply man!
Is everything moving accordingly now that our stateside? any major delays in appointments?

Feel free to PM me, I am also aviation. Things are moving really slow, I checked in the 1st of July and my MEDBOARD appointment for the initial eval was 14 Sept. Right now I am just waiting on my VA exams.
