So this is something I am currently in as a TR, and I've had discussions here but I think there is a misunderstanding. If you're a Reservist with less than 20 but over 15, a very narrow window, you end up with the final pay plan (the DoD calculator confirms this) If you have 21 good years with...

Ever get a final outcome on this?

whatever happened for you here?

How did it work out for you? I am in this situation now with 16yrs Reserve and looking at Chapter 61 retirement

So was all of what was said here, accurate for you?

Believe it or not, I'm having the exact same issue as an Air Force Reservist, and cannot get anyone to write my NARSUM. I already have an LOD, I have a VA rating of 100%, but no one will touch the NARSUM documents. Whatever answer you get here, I am very interested myself.

Same situation here as well, 100% Reservist going through MEB that was triggered by a medication I take for residuals of a severe TBI. On the Air Force side, they're still making me see a provider to complete the NARSUM, but the provider I am going to is VA, so they'll use my VA records. My...

I always wonder how the high 36 works if you’re a traditional reservist but have a medical (active duty) retirement. Is it theoretical (what you would’ve been paid if active duty) or it goes by your drill pay, which I don’t see how that could be done.

I’ve had 10 PHAs since the accident that caused my TBI, never triggered it. I had a prescription for Ambien, it came up in a drug test and I had to verify the prescription which I did (sleep issues since the severe TBI) and suddenly I was put on a profile and IRILO. Weird thing. I believe...

We have a really similar situation, Reserve myself, I promote to Major May of next year, TBI rated 100% but the big difference is.. I am at 15yrs versus your 20. You should get reduced retirement with your AD time, 4 years, so you could get concurrent payments at age 55? I have four years AD...

Really appreciate the responses. This one will be LOD. I was on active orders training in Texas, the disqualifying incident/conditions are all linked to that, it’s just been a downhill progression since then that is well-documented with the VA. I’ve done about two years active cumulatively...

Long time reader here to gain insight on my situation, but I still think it’s kind of unique and looking to see if anyone has advice/perspective I am 15yrs in as an Air Force Reservist, was never active duty although I’ve accumulated five years through deployments/assignments At my three...
