Contact the oumabudsman if you COC is going to violate you profile. This is just one of many options you can take GL.

Ombudman? Lol dickie, I have no clue what that is.
I believe that there is one on every base and they directly talk to the commanding general for you base and expose corrupt COC. I had to contact mine once and everything changed in my favor within a day.
Indeed, boom!
As such, there it is unfortunately!
Thus, I quite often comment that "possessing well-informed knowledge is truly a powerful equalizer."

I'm right there with you Dickey G, signed my 199 on 12 Feb and still waiting on transpoc....will it ever end!!
Everyone tells me don't worrie your close and I hate it. Yeah I'm close but I'm not there yet.
From my experiences within the DoD IDES process, if the IPEB finds you "unfit for duty" then you may do the following via the election of options on the DA Form 199:
- Concur with the decision.
- Concur with the decision but request a one-time VA reconsideration request (VARR) of your VA disability ratings for the conditions determined unfitting.
- Nonconcur with the decision and submit a written rebuttal and/or demand a Formal PEB.
- Nonconcur with the PEB decision and also request a one-time VARR of your VA ratings for your unfitting conditions.
Moreover, in reference to the submittal of a VARR to the DoVA D-RAS for the conditions the PEB determined to be unfitting, the military service member has legal rights to an attorney "to represent me with my request for VA Reconsideration."
As such, the aforementioned quote is annotated on the DA Form 199, Section IX - Soldier's Election under the "Additional election for Soldiers determined unfit under the IDES upon the Soldier's review of the VA disability rating for the conditions determined to be unfitting" section.
With that all said, your PEBLO should inform you of your legal options during the explanations of PEB findings, and whether it's the SMEBC or SPEBC who shall actually assist with the generation of the applicable VARR request if you decide not to demand a Formal PEB hearing.
Of course naturally, if the PEBLO doesn't provide the above information, please ensure to make that inquiry to the PEBLO prior to the completion of Section IX on the DA Form 199.
Thus, I quite often comment that "possessing well-informed knowledge is truly a powerful equalizer."
Best Wishes!

Here is the army email for the Ombudsman Program,
medcom.ombudsman@amedd.army.mil or 210-221-8919
Shredding paperwork found this, hope it helps.
Condradulations how cool. This is the call a lot of us are waiting for. Couple questions when did you signed your 199? Also did they give you your orders or a time frame for your exit? Thanks
I don't think that would be good ideal, because many us on here are well over 154days...
You might piss off the gate keeper who is holding up your case and could make things worse for you.
What date did the PEB request ratings from the VA?
23 Sep 13
you claimed a lot of conditions compared to most folks on here, so your case is going to be probably longer than some these folks that recently got responses back in about ~4 months.
From what I have heard a congressional slowes everything down for you. My VA rep in Seattle told me to spread the word not to do it. I'm at 270 days so you have a while to go. Where ever your packet is they have to stop work on it and find it.
