All,
Wondering if anyone knows what the procedure is if a IPEB finding was "fit for duty" and there were no additional medical limitations or LIMDU status placed on the Martine, with the condition stable and unchanged after 2.5 years now; what would happen if the Marine was not allowed to deploy due to a decision by a particular in-theater doctor? What would happen if the case is sent to BUMED? Would this then require a new PEB to ensue or do they just admin separate and not readdress the PEB process again? We know that PEB's are typically addressed one of two ways through the NMA , either for a fit for duty, or a not fit for duty outcome. The NMA, while non-medical in nature, takes into account specialized medical care required and ongoing health requirements based upon the local specialist's opinions. If these do not interfere, then generally a Marine should be found fit for duty, and normally would be, by the board.
What happens if after an IPEB determination, the Marine is determined independently by a different doctor with much less information and specialization, disallows a marine to deploy via advice to a commanding officer (Not of the Marine's own unit, but the receiving unit? Now assume the Marine is a 15 year, field grade officer. What is BUMED able to accomplish, change, or otherwise readdress? How at risk is this Marine to pure administrative separation since fitness has been determined previously? Or is it simply readdressed through another board and workup?
Goals here would be are to avoid, at all costs, being administratively separated at 15 years and to continue on to a proper retirement unabated on an otherwise prosperous career thus far. Fears are being told "goodbye" with absolutely nothing. Any weigh-ins are greatly appreciated.
