I applied July 2014. My case went into adjudication January 6th, 2016. It was forwarded to the Navy sometime in July 2016. Approval decision was sent to me from them September 29, 2016.

Please make sure whatever you do, that you update your contact iinformation EVERY TIME it changes. It's ABSOLUTELY HELL getting to the right place to find out what decision was made if your paperwork is sent to the incorrect address like mine was.

I'm extremely happy about what this means for my family and I. I really do wish the same for all of you. Don't be fooled though. They have found a way to give us what we want and screw us anyway. All this retroactive pay that's continually discussed, is almost non exsistant. However that's a topic for another conversation.

If you are Navy I do have a contact phone number to call and they will tell you your status once it has been released from the PDBR. Please don't call them unless you know your case has left the PDBR and went to the NAVY. The number is 202-685-6408 Ask for the PEB.


I hope this helps someone the way I was helped. Thank you @Keebs for sharing all your knowledge with me and not allowing me to be discouraged over the last few days. I almost lost it trying to find out about my case.

Have FAITH!!! Be Blessed Everyone!!

To be honest it was but I decided to just forget about it mostly, to keep my mind off of it. Once my case was in adjudication six months I started pushing harder, and asking questions. I looked up the guidelines regarding the time the PDBR is allowed to take and it wasn't long. I figured they should be done in eight months and they were.
 
Congratulations!! The fight was worth it! So happy for you!

Thank you so much, I appreciate that. I'm hoping things pay off.
 
You waited a long time, congratulations. I'm glad you stayed the course until you got what you need.
 
Congrats!
Let me know when you see orders please.
I got my letter 8/24/2016 saying re-characterized to Retirement. However nothing since, anyone have an idea on how long Army takes to get orders? How quickly can you get family on Tri-Care? Can't afford ACA rates any longer!!!!

Hi DHFrack!

It took 4 months for the Army to give me my orders. Did you just get one letter in your notification? No paperwork saying to provide that to DEERS to enroll?

I hear the Army can take a while. Have you filled out your SBP paperwork?
