Jason, You stated "I would not let this slide, because while it is possible to go back and appeal after you are separated, it is easier and you are likelier to get you compensation much sooner if you are referred to DES." in another thread. I've been pursuing getting my problem corrected, but I'm getting the feeling that I will just have to seperate without an MEB.

I was curious if you meant that I can attempt to get retirement benefits after I voluntarily separate. If so, how do I do that?
