PEB FORUM Reaches 25,000 Members!!

[Jason Perry]

It has been a great run, so far, and I am proud to say that we have reached more than 25,000 registered members at the PEB FORUM!!!

A few observations:

We have helped a lot of folks, but the need for the site and for information available for those who are facing an MEB, PEB, or just have questions about the process continues.

When I say that we have helped a lot of folks, I think a few points should be recalled. First, while we have reached an impressive milestone of 25,000 registered members, many more folks just read and browse the site than register. So, I think it is safe to say we have likely helped many times the number of registered members. Also, I am pretty vigilant about rejecting and deleting spammers accounts. I am sure that some have gotten through, but, I am also confident that the vast majority of accounts are legitimate.

Our success relies on the members sharing their experiences, providing input, asking questions, and sharing the site with others! Thank you for your support of your fellow Airmen, Marines, Soldiers, Coasties, Sailors, and Vets (as the case may be).

I look forward to observing the day when we reach 50,000 members! Onwards towards success!

Indeed, congratulations to all PEB Forum members albeit there's still much more to do and much much more come in my opinion!

Thus, I quite often comment that "possessing well-informed knowledge is truly a powerful equalizer."

Best Wishes!

WOW!

25,000 and counting!

Jason, you really hit on an idea that was and is still providing a very much needed gathering tool and an information pool for those going through the IDES process. And so much more, too.

One thing I want to add is how grateful I am your viewers and posters are from all sections and slices and levels and layers in this hierarchy. Everyone's posting are important in getting to an understanding of this process.

Each perspective at every level represented provides vital information and another perspective to the SM ultimately affected from/by this process.

Thank-you for taking the initiative to create a forum for these issues!

V/R,

Congratulations!! Your site has been very helpful. I still have a lot of questions and I'm sure that I will get the answers I need on here.

I share your site everywhere! I drop your name to every WTU Soldier I see having issues (which is way too many). When I found your website, I was in a dark place. I was on so much medication I could barely remember what happened yesterday, and my MED Board was at the mercy of "my team" and the Army. -- Your site helped me take control of my own process. I now have policies and regulations to back up what I was saying. In fact, you provide websites, so all I need to do is print it off and hand it off to someone who is messing up my progress. I have lost so much because of others who did not know what they were doing. So, you have help me get those mistakes correctly as best as possible.

If I had found your site in the very beginning, my process would have been so much easier, and better documented.

Not only that. When I hear of other Soldiers having issues, and they are worried about joining a website, I ask their questions for them, and print off the answers to give them. So, you have reached so many more people than are registered.

As I go forward, and retire, I will continue to seek guidance in my future appeals, and my Social Security.

I still have memory and concentration issues, so your help is a daily Godsend! Thank you from the deepest depth of my heart for creating this forum.

Thank you to everyone on this site. I was scared and confused starting this road but thanks to this site I was able to get informed and gain some control. While working through my own case I was able to help 5 other command members with their MED/PEB process and together we created a wealth of knowledge with our command leadership so they could continue to help other service members understand the system. I got my final VA paperwork today and I am still learning about the benefits out there for us. We have to work together to fight for the benefits we have all earned. No one likes being sick or injured but its nice to know there is support for those who must live through it. God Bless you and if there is anything I can share about my own case or ratings I am more then happy too.

Awesome accomplishment! With the vast amount of information and knowledge passed along within this website, I just assumed that it would have had that many members already! Great job to all of those that contribute, even if just the slightest detail to provide help to others. I know that I personally have written down this website on pieces of paper and given it to at least 5 people I knew who were in the process. Though I have no idea where they are now, I'm sure they gained some insight along the way. Keep on keeping on!

Jason,

Thank you for the site and the assistance! I entered the MEB of 4FEB14 and it is confusing and distressing, this site has helped greatly in getting a better understanding and a place to ask questions.

I am so thankful that I found this site at the beginning of my IDES MEB/PEB process it helped me and my claims so much!
I was able to find answers that my MSC, my PEBLO and my unit could not help me with! Thank you, thank you, thank you all! Still on here everyday learning more and more! Better than going to that @#$%& E-bennefits

I am so appreciative of this site. I've been in the medical field for 21 years and am still very uneducated about the MEB/PEB process. I started lurking here when my board kicked off, but now as a member, plan on gleaning/sharing information. Keep up the great work.

Jason,
Thanks for the Forum and your time running this whole thing. I too was confused and since joining have been somewhat educated in my process.
