Need Help!

Hey all,

I am in the MEB process at Fort Belvoir. I was in the middle of C&P Exams when COVID locked everything down. I completed 2 exams and the remaining 3 were canceled for obvious reasons. I have been aggressively trying to have an impact getting things rescheduled, but with all this going on it's not going well.

My issue is that I have a UNICORN of a job lined up, but this delay has a real chance at screwing it up. Has anyone heard of taking a leave of absence, or any other methods of taking advantage of your next career? I am just sitting in limbo status waiting on the country to go back to normal...seems like a major waste. Any thoughts or advice would be much appreciated.

MRDP is reached at 365 days on profile or when the medical provider has determined that the SM cannot reasonably recover and return to duty within the 365 days. At MRDP a provider has 2 options, refer to WTU for rehabilitation in excess of 365 days, or start an MEB. If you are in the IDES process you have already reached MRDP. The 85 day from MRDP would be 85 days from when the P3 profile was submitted to IDES by your PCM.

Oh nice. That happened sometime back in mid February. So I guess that’s good news making me eligible to participate in a CSP. Honestly, that’s the best news I’ve heard in a long time! Thanks for clarifying brother.

it’s too bad programs like Hiring Our Heroes doesn’t have the same eligibility criteria for IDES. I’ve reached out several times and have been told “sorry we have to have a date to verify you’re within 180 days of EAS”. Well that’s pretty damn hard to provide considering it’s unknown until the very end! So frustrating.
 
No worries man, I hope it works (CSP). I believe there was a spot on my NARSUM that said the exact date of my MRDP, just in case CSP asks for something. But I can't seem to find a copy to look right now.

That is good news for my situation then! Thanks so much for the clarification.
