I have about 40 days of leave saved up, so I think that probably affects the timeline as well. I hope you got what you wanted from your board, and im glad you're almost done! Congrats!

Update: Yesterday, 29 April, I signed paperwork to accept my findings and not have a formal board. I'm told that I'll get a new EAS in 2-3 weeks and then my EAS will be 45-60 days after that.

Nothing new to report other than the start of the remote boards.

According to my counsel, I’m not actually going to be going to speak to the board. I am simply trying to buy time for me to get to my ortho doc to get my ROM test done and to talk to her about what she thinks my course of action should be. Apparently if I get the ROM tests done, I can increase...

I’m currently still in service, but I’m in the “waiting for FPEB” stage of my board. I opted to go with an in person hearing instead of the telephone hearing they’re doing now to give me more time to get more range of motion tests done. I am referred for my knees, and I got 10% due to pain in my...

If your ratings for referred conditions increase after your EAS, and the increase puts you over 30% for those conditions, can you be medically retired after you are out of service? Or do you have to have the 30% during your time in service to get the retirement?

I am on the East coast. Best of luck!

They are asking people if they would be willing to have a teleconference in place of going to DC to get your cases taken care of. You still have the option to go to DC and do an in-person hearing, but she said that it...

I haven't heard about anything other than FPEBs. Good luck!

I have not heard anything back, yet. Hopefully soon. If I don't hear back, I guess its just a waiting game until we can get some answers from our PEBLOs. Good luck to everyone.

Update: I spoke with a Sgt who answered the phone at the Washington Naval Yard. He gave me the contact information for a lawyer who assigns attorneys for the FPEB, and can also help you find out your date for the board. I called the number provided, (202) 685-8385, and got no response. Now I am...
