I am back again after about a year and am hoping to gain a bit more clarity from the experts so thank you ahead of time. Recap: 32 good reserve/guard years, 4500pts, VA 100% T&P. Recently I finally went through my guard/MEB and was found unfit for 5 conditions…all with LODs. They are...

That’s were there may be a disconnect in my situation. I do have multiple LOD‘s and/or service connection/service aggravation for multiple different cumulative conditions that is leading to incompatible service. If those conditions lead to a medical retirement, would that change anything?

Gary, I know you went though this years ago, but if you could spare a few mins, I would love to tap your brain on my situation on how to force an MEB/PEB and more nuts and bolts of what you did to better work through the red tape. https://www.pebforum.com/conversations/meb-input.14972/

Funny, usually as a commander, others come to me for advice, but here we go. Dual Status Guard Technician with 28 years of military service (Army/Air), 16 years federal civilian service, 7 years TAFMS (4200-ish points) already rated at 100% VA total and permanent since 2015 with over 16...
