Thanks guys i will reach out to the Navy this week.

Amanda, have you talked to the Military Pay folks? DFAS should be able to help you figure out when you will get paid. But if you are being medically separated it should be rather quick. Because you have already done the evaluation. Let me know if this helps

I was transferred from TDRL to PDRL back in 2013. How does someone get a copy of that letter? I was placed on PDRL in 2013 but i need to get a copy of my letter. How do you get it?

Good Morning, I just got my results from the Navy and upon further inspection i have been placed in PDRL. My rating was 60%. Now i have a question, while i was on TDRL at 50% i was getting my full retirement check. I have 16 years of service. Does anyone know what my PDRL check will be or...

I appreciate that ND, but the Navy doesnt give verbage like that. We have to go back for TDRL every 18 months and Bureau of Naval Personnel cuts us orders. Now maybe i will see something on my final check out with Personnel but right now i have nothing that indicates what you put for the Navy...

thanks everyone, just for the record i was a GM but now an Intel guy. Just kept the name.

I am at 16 years and being medically retired i have my meeting with the VA rep tomorrow. Just looking for advice as to which would be better in the long run since i won't be getting both.

Ok i have a question with regards to that. I am 50% DOD which would equate to 1744 roughly per month taxed and my VA is 80% 1620. I won't be able to get any combat related stuff, but i am curious what would be better. In the long run, right now we don't have any plans for kids. Also is SDP...
