Attached is the DoD Compensation and Benefits Handbook. I have not reviewed it thoroughly yet, once I have, I will post any concerns I have on the information provided.

Interesting. It is an improvement over some of the other manuals I have been handed. Easier to follow and a little more informative. I enjoy it. I printed off a copy and passed it around the ward and a few others gave their thumbs up in approval as well. We were handed those laminated MEB booklets or power point presentations printed out that are repetitious in what info they talk about yet never go in great detail about the topics or talk about all topics.

The chart on page 22 of the MEB process is a lot more clear with it being streamlined and with the graphics. I printed it off and it was easier for my wife to understand what was going on along with some of the other soldiers at the hospital. (Walter Reed)

On Page 30, it shows a photo of CSM Dixon. Really. Is that needed? Necessary? A whole page to CSM Dixon? It reminds me of high school when people who put together the yearbooks slap photos of themselves or their friends in the book. It just seems gaudy and out of place especially a whole page. =/

The intro letter. Who wrote it? Normally you have the signature over a typed name and title but the typed name/title are not listed. Who do you send the constructive criticism to? =)

Jason,

Thanks for the booklet! As someone who will be going through the MEB and possibly the PEB process, I found it very informative! Appreciate your efforts and the handy guide!
