JBSA MEB/IDES TIMELINE

Hey everyone, I finally got my medical retirement orders . I had been waiting since Sept 30th so hopefully everyone’s else’s orders will start flowing soon ! Good luck everyone!
Thats awesome man. Did u get it today?? Or yesterday.
 
Alright, I need some advice. I am still waiting for my orders but I just found out that I am pregnant. I still want to separate because I will continue to have health insurance through my active duty husband and my medical retirement. However, I've been looking it up and from my understanding if I let the Air Force/ my PEBLO know that I am pregnant then they will completely pause my separation until after I have the baby and complete my maternity leave. I really really don't want my discharge to be pushed back but I also know that because of my health conditions that this will be a high risk pregnancy and I should get medical care. I feel like I'm between a rock and a hard place right now with wanting to go to the clinic and get care but also wanting to separate. If anyone has any knowledge of want to do in this kind of situation then please let me know!
you will still get care once you are out, me personally if i was a a lady and this early on(assuming) i would still just wait for orders and get out.
 
Was it your actual orders or just an NLT date soft order thing? Mind sharing how you found your orders?
Yes it was my actual orders . It’s actually more like a memo but it tells me my retirement date, the day I’m officially off active duty orders, etc . It was in PRDA

damnn thats awesome. How far out is your retirement date now? I might try pushing a expedite req or just bug tfsc
 
thats good. U must not be taking alot of leave/ptdy? If i get my orders by end of DEC, my out date is also end of feb/beginning of march. 62 days after orders.
 
Are you a retirement or separation?? Mine is medical retirement
Same. Once i signed my findings and commander approved PTDY, I can see the original PEB case in myFSS, substatus says "PEB REVIEW". Was there anything like that for you on fss? Im guessing its just the final peb closeout which is part of the "waiting on orders" process. Did u submit any expedite requests or who did you bug ?

No I don’t think you can submit an expedite request. And idk how they calculated my date all I know is my commander gave me 30 days permissive tdy . And the only alert I got was when my orders actually dropped . FSS sent me an email saying I had a new document in PRDA .

That is interesting. It does give me hope however that your date ISNT in January. I had a theory that only dates before JAN 31 were being processed, but seems thats not entirely the case. Are you at Ramstein?

Yes . And I didn’t know what my date was gonna be until my orders dropped .

Definitely, it has to start the time from when the orders drop, thats why most of us never know. I dont get how some people get a NLT date before the orders though. Do u mind uploading a pic or private messaging what the memo looks like? Ofc scratch off PII
 
Update: I just received my orders!! Really odd because nothing ever populated for me in MyFSS but I think my emails to my PEBLO this morning may has sped something up. My official retirement date is 1 Feb!

Just for future reference where at in myfss were you able to view this? Is it under CMS cases?
 
Man thats awesome. I requested on 2 DEC, and it seems theyve gone through a month and a month and a half worth of requests in 3 days! I should be next. Also, I can see the case in myfss just under cases
 
So for other people it shows up in there MyFSS under My FSS Cases but nothing ever showed up for me there so I'm not 100% sure.
What time zone r u in? You got your orders after afpc closed?
