    DVtheTrenGod, While I am no lawyer, and do no know the exact answer to this, I was curious. I found this post made by a guy in the militarytimes forum.

    Congressional Inquiry

    I am glad to hear you got your commander backing you up, and even going with you. I will say a prayer after typing this post that all goes well for you, and goes fast with little anxiety. I hope my little re-told story helps you. God Bless.

    Need some insight please

    JJL1105, I did some reading on this out of curiosity. I have a large EPTS scar on my right leg (~7.5 - 8cm) from a surgery prior, documented, and has caused me trouble due to job nature. Here is what I found, hopefully it helps (and is correct):

    Congressional Inquiry

    Hello Fran0609. I work with a guy who retired 29 yrs in the AF reserves and he is a WG-12 now. I just so happened to have a discussion with him about my MEB, and he said he went through 2 FPEB's himself. The first one (at his 18 year mark) was for migraines. Apparently, he was having them for...

    Got my Seperation orders! Done Son!

    VrodViddy, at what point and how far out did you begin applying for jobs? Also, how did you negotiate the timeline with your employer? If you have a thread link to post (or website or something) and it is easier, that would help too. Thanks poppa.

    My little story:Ankylosing Spondylitis

    Thanks Charlie. Due to my dad being retired military, I grew up as part of the military healthcare system. In particular, Army healthcare. I know that you have to keep getting seen for them to really push anything. Thankfully, I have a great PCM that understands autoimmune conditions, as she...

    Chronic Residuals for VASRD 5002 Rheumatoid Arthritis

    Good evening. I have a question about VASRD 5002, specifically the chronic residuals. I have Ankylosing Spondylitis, and I have strong assumption it will be rated 5002 due to the medication and all of my records saying "active disease". Xrays and MRI's with the reports prove it too. I am not...

    My little story:Ankylosing Spondylitis

    Copy that. Took me 4 years of saying "this hurts really bad" and 4 PCM's telling me I'm lying to finally get the diagnosis, and I am JUST NOW getting a referral to pain management. If this has taught me nothing else, it is patience. At this point, finishing school (will grad in Fall '17) and...

    Sudden Cardiac Arrest, AICD, Anoxic Brain Injury... Is there hope for me to Return to Duty?

    Hello 10 Second Bob. First off, thank God you survived death, literally. I had a coworker die on the track during a PT test, and survive, before he found out he had tachycardia. He is a big strong man, with a good diet too. He used to use it as a pickup line, "I died before..." and somewhere...
