New to the process

Hey all,

After 12 Years in the Army, 3 years fighting the MEB process, convincing my PCM and Orthopedic surgeon that I can do fine with a P2 profile, I finally decided that My back is not getting any better. 8 bulging Discs, 2 herniated, and one sequestered, alone with all the great nerve pain that extends down my leg. My Ortho Dr. Just submitted my P3 yesterday 01DEC16 which is now a permanent Profile one day later. I received a call from the MEB office to collect some Admin data and was informed that I would be contacted soon my a PEBLO. It is slightly nerve racking that my career, which started out as a 4 year stint just because I wanted to do something different, is coming to a close. I am hoping that the process goes smoothly and am grateful of all the information that is found on this FORUM.

It is now going to be a monthly payment based on 30% of my High 3. Had plans for the severance pay, but that will have to wait for now. Kinda wish I could still choose though....

But you get that Tricare for your family when you hit that 30%. That lump sum doesn't get your family insured and they take it back by deducting it from your VA disability. You'll make out a lot better in the long run with the retirement.

Oh I agree that the Tricare will be great, the lump sum would have taken care of some stuff currently though...
