So, you finally sat with your PEBLO and signed and accepted your final PEB findings.. Now what? See my experience below:
Please ensure that after you sign and accept your PEB final findings, that if 10 days go by and you have not received your new EAS, that you give your PEBLO a call and request confirmation that the PEB has sent your findings to HQMC (MMSR-4) for action. I waited 21 days before the PEB sent my package to HQMC (MMSR-4)........... That is because someone at the PEB didn't do their job and my PEBLo called they looked stupid and finally submitted my package (who knows how longer it would have taken if I had not called).. it should not take more than 10 days.. The process after you sit down with your PEBLO and go over the findings of your VA and DOD ratings and you accept them is that they are then immediately sent back to the PEB for acknowledgement of your acceptance (they basically do a quality assurance check to go over the paperwork and ensure your PEBLO did his/her job of going over the paperwork with you and nothing was missed). After this, they send it to HQMC (MMSR-4) for final action. The quality assurance check can literally be completed in day, so its not another process. I know this because some of my peers signed their final PEB findings and then a week later they had a new EAS. That is considering that HQMC (MMSR-4) has 24hrs to certify the paperwork and then 48hrs for them to see the new EAS populate on MOL (reminder: you will not get the normal MOL notification when there is a change, so keep an eye out on your BIR page).
So, the PEB finally sent your package to HQMC (MMSR-4).. Now what? See my experience below:
So this is what I got from MMSR-4 (from the GySgt's mouth). Once they receive your findings from the PEB, they have a strict 24hr turnaround to certify your package. Certifying is basically them looking over the documents and inputting the data into the system. The system then automatically calculates a new EAS based on how much leave you have accrued, plus 20 days of PTAD. Your EAS will automatically post to MCTFS/3270 once certified (give it a couple hours). However, not everyone has 3270 access, so it will take up to 48hrs to populate on MOL (that is counting on that MOL is not down - keep an eye on the date last updated in the top right corner of your MOL screen). It is good to note that your new EAS will either be on the 15th or end of the month. If you are already too close to your original EAS date, expect to be extended to meet your total leave and PTAD time. Even if you are extended further, keep in mind that you are able to start terminal as soon as your remaining days match your total leave + PTAD (plus, remember you are still accruing 2.5 days more of leave every month you are on terminal that gets calculated in the system that IPAC works with you in the Outbound Interview). To barney style this, if your total leave + PTAD is 60 days and you are 90 days out from your new EAS.. In about 30 days you will be able to start terminal because now your remainder days are 60 which equals your 60 total days of PTAD/Leave. Every month you are on terminal you are still accruing the 2.5 days of more leave, so you can add that to your terminal leave time (which in this case you will be allowed 65 days on terminal).
