Update: I’m about one year post-MEB retirement, and life is so much better outside the military. The care I receive at the VA has been excellent, and I truly prefer it over what I experienced on active duty. Through VR&E, I’ve already graduated with my bachelor’s and started my master’s...

That sounds like it's moving in the right direction. In the comments of the pre separation form, I requested a date of retirement before September so I'm hoping that speeds up the process for me. I also called my career development office and asked them to upload my vOP checklist so I could do...

Have you checked myFSS? You should have a case open and it shows all the communication between your PEBLO and AFPC. Maybe that could give you some insight. I've had success calling AFPC before for other situations like cross training so it could be worth a shot.

Hi everyone! This is a fantastic resource I applied for and was contacted within 24 hours from my application. Currently, the San Antonio location does not have any vacancies but projects to have some in November/December. If you are thinking of using this resource, apply early! At least 3-4...

I'm reaching out to see if anyone here has experience with Operation Homefront's Transitional Housing (Villages) program. This program is specifically designed for wounded, ill, and injured service members and their families as they transition out of the military...

To know when your VA claim is in the "decision stage," you'll need to call the VA customer service line for updates. Unfortunately, the status of your claim won’t be visible on the website or app until it’s officially closed. You will learn about your VA ratings once your claim is shown as...

I had 6 unfitting so you'll definitely be good!! And only two of the unfitting conditions received 10%. The others received 100%, 40%, 30%, and another 30% respectively. 70% for mental health about a billion 10%'s for everything else haha.

PDRL!

Yes! You've been a big help as well!

Congrats on your 100% as well! My goal is to use some of my funds to work with a holistic doctor who will treat the root cause vs just symptoms. Stomach problems are not fun. Thank you and same to you! I hope you are enjoying life post military.

Do you think it is possible you have a different rating for IBS and this one is for the 'chronic diarrhea'? I haven't received the break down of my claims but I had to go get another C&P exam done just for IBS since it switched to its own DQB. However the symptoms listed on there are what is on...
