I just got a call from my regional VA office in Fargo to get my conditions other than my MEB referred ones to get my C&P exams scheduled. I was told I should here by Friday what my appointment date will be. It took then 12 days from the time AFPC requested a full MEB.
 
Good to know, thanks goldberg1! I think I have to wait on my PEBLO, even to hear from the VA, since I'm overseas :/
 
*Update*

My PEBLO gave me a copy of my medical records on a disk on September 22… And they were scanned in such poor quality that they can not be read -__-
So now that I'm a week or two away from meeting with the VA (without seeing my full medical record and my PEBLO is no where to be found after I advised them of the problem)… I'm really stressing out.

Do I NEED to see my records before I go to the VA?
 
I would want to look at them. Go to your medical records section in the Med Group and request a copy of your records. At least that way, you will have a paper copy. If you can't get them in time, log-in to tricare online.com and it should show an abbreviated medical history for your past.

Here is (by definition) a non-helpful answer: Yes or No.

Yes- if there are any issues with how they (AF or the VA) are evaluating your condition.

No- if by luck or "magic" they are doing everything right.
