Good morning/ afternoon all, Just sharing with an update on my failed attempt to reverse the Board's decision and stave off involuntary retirement. Mandatory retired 31 DEC 2023 Applied for VA NOV 17 2023 Applied for early retirement pay DEC 2023 Even applied for state Disability VA VSOs...

Could be worse. You could get an administrative separation and a miserable 10%, and basically get nothing..

To quote your very last sentence in this detailed info ( which by the way I appreciate your taking the time to explain), I did submit an independent assessment of my condition, by the CIV physician in charge of my care. There is no Army medical facility within 1000 miles of HOR. This asigned to...

Were you medically retired or separated with severance? What percentage ?

Chronology of events prior to MEB: * I suffered an injury AUG 2021 * Transferred to a WTB at JBLM OCT 2021 * Sent home DEC 2021 for Remote care * MEB held FEB 2022, less than 6 mos after injury and in midst of Rehab. Things I am questioning: 1. Less than halfway through the recommended 12 month...

Private attorney

Would someone explain what "regular" and " non-regular" retirement mean ? I have never heard of those terms. Thank you

Good evening all, I have posted in a different forum previously but I felt this is a more specific question that someone might be able to clarify, as I am not getting any clear answers or guidance from my soon-to-be Former legal counsel. After nearly two years, the process still feels as...

I want to thank publicly to all the members of this forum that have reached out offline with advice and additional insight. It is tremendously appreciated. That said, Rather than wait for the written notification to come from the PEB in the next 10 days, and as I am not really getting legal...

27+ good years. Combined AD, NG and USAR time. About 3900 points. I've been on ADOS since 2021.

Couple of things I left out, I need the 30 after making 05, to retire with 36 months TIG. Not for financial gain. As a senior 04 duties in the field are rare at this point in a MAJs career path. 90% will be as an Advisor, Liaison officer or at an Embassy. Only times I saw real field duty as an...

Appointed counsel is like a Public defender, checking the box to cover themselves that I was afforded Legal counsel. No thanks. It is already an uphill battle, every day. I have a 4 yr old child with Autism and a 1 yr old. Leaving me high and dry without TRICARE is not acceptable. They can...

I retained private counsel. He was in conversation with a former Board member ( she had just PCSd) who stated that they will likely find me FFD. This PEB was all new people. My attorney felt that we had this in the bag. Unfortunately the outcome didn't turn out to be. There are a number of...

Thanks Ron. Trying really hard not to lose faith in the big green machine. Lou

That's correct. I am USAR. I was on ADOS headed to HN . The initial intent was to discharge me and send me home to " deal with it with my personal healthcare provider" as I was succinctly told. When I said NO, you fix me first, I was sent to the WTB at JBLM until DEC 2021, then home for Remote...
