HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY, PEB FORUM!! Eighteen years have flown by. I laughed at myself earlier for thinking my baby is now a full-grown adult! In some ways, it is like seeing your baby grow. Like my son when he turned 18, I look forward to what comes next. (Junior, I mean, 2LT Perry is heading to Ft. Sill for Artillery Branch BOLC this summer). I am so thankful that I have had the chance to share my thoughts here and to get to know some great people along the way. The PEB Forum was meant to be a place for helping others, where folks can share their experiences and ask questions. I think we have mostly succeeded, but the lion's share of the credit goes to the staff, moderators, and long-time supporters who keep the place running and make it what it is. The shortfalls should be credited to me. I am working on several cases and issues that I will be posting about in the near future. It feels like the movie Groundhog Day or a big, not fun, game of Whac-a-Mole. We get some progress and...

It has been a great pleasure to share knowledge and to have a place for folks to share their experiences with others. But, honestly, most of the heavy lifting and guidance comes from those who post, come back, offer guidance and continue to serve their brothers and sisters in arms. This forum's real secret sauce and lifeblood is the community and the moderators who volunteer to share their input. So, I am very happy to welcome another Moderator to the team- bjenk!He is a retired Army LTC who served as a Field Artillery Officer (13A). Good judgment, great service, and a desire to help are the hallmarks of who we need on our team and he fits the bill perfectly. Please join me in welcoming @bjenk to the Team!

The New DODI 1332.18 & Why It Is Important to You—John B Gately

On 11/10/22, DODI 1332.18 was updated with mandatory guidance to be followed by all the armed services when processing PEB cases. Here are just a few reasons why this update is important for anyone undergoing the PEB process to review and understand: 1. In this update, there is a provision that allows service members to specifically demand that the FPEB cannot seat as board members anyone who participated in the adjudication process of your case at the IPEB. See Section 3.3.c.2.b of DODI1332.18. This means that you can exclude IPEB members from sitting on your FPEB, but you can also keep them if you think that their presence would help your case. 2. Prior to this update being issued, service members could only submit written appeals of adverse findings by the FPEB panel of their service. But, under Section 3.3d.1 of DODI1332.18, you can now request an additional hearing at which counsel can represent you. While no one knows yet how each service will implement this provision, this...

FPEB Delays (Army)

Just FYI/FYSA- I just got a call from the Army FPEB rescheduling a Formal PEB hearing from 9 OCT to 7 NOV. I was thinking this might be a pending government shutdown issue, but it was mainly due to the end of the fiscal year and the Army losing many PEB Adjudicators/Hearing Officers. Apparently, there are many recalled or on short tours who may not have funding to return. Do not be surprised if there are systemic delays for Army PEBs generally and FPEBs in particular.
