Army National Guard 5.5 years TIS E4 68W I previously started the NDR-PEB process in 2023. It was a tough fight, but I ultimately got the desired result: found fit at the FPEB. The "unfitting diagnosis" that triggered it all was Major Depressive Disorder. I sought lots of treatment and several...

It appears as if the OSC is nonexistent. Cannot find a website or contact information. I dealt with them a couple of years ago thru my first PEB (yes, going thru a second now) and this time around I was not provided an info brochure like I was before. Was wondering if anyone had updated...

Coming here for some advice on how to proceed. I really wish I could afford to hire outside legal counsel to assist with this, but I am not in a spot where I can do that. I have been passed around to various assigned legal counsels and am on my sixth attorney. The backstory is: 3.5 year TIS...

No worries, I wish I only had a P2 haha. My CoC is supportive and my commander has written a commander's impact statement saying that I am capable of continuing service and that the only reason I have any restrictions to work with, is due to the restrictions placed on me by the P3 profile.

Now that I have gotten an accurate diagnosis and know how to treat it, yes it is well managed. Previously, they were just throwing meds at me that were actually making the OCD worse. So it appeared as if I was unable to manage the "depressive disorder". I do not have a P2 profile yet. I am...

I was originally sent to the IDES process after being given a permanent profile for "depressive disorder". In the last few months, my providers (civilian because ARNG) realized that I had been misdiagnosed all along and resolved the "depressive disorder" diagnosis. Instead, I was given a...

I have actually been attempting for the last several weeks to reach my assigned legal counsel. It's been radio silence. About to bite the bullet and hire outside counsel because I feel like I am going to screw myself if I don't...

I'd like to believe that I am doing everything I can to be found fit. I have been receiving a lot of treatment and have little to no symptoms remaining. My commander wrote a decently strong impact statement (it definitely could've been stronger but it isn't negative in any way). I am not sure if...

Really discouraged and am trying not to get my hopes up about anything. I've been referred to a NDR-PEB and I will not be getting any ratings or separation benefits because I only have 3 years TIS. I agree that my referred condition is non duty related, so I am not going to fight that. I...

Thank you for your reply. I apologize that I am getting back to it sorta late. I guess I am okay with not being able to escape the process - Ive accepted it at this point lol. But I currently have a profile that says I cannot deploy or carry a weapon. The attorney I spoke with from the office...

MDD. Current provider does not agree with it and I am now being treated for PTSD and prolonged grief disorder instead.

My goal is to be found fit. None of my civilian providers believe I need a P3 profile and do not concur with my diagnosis. I only have 3 years in, so I will get nothing and I understand that. I just want to continue serving. The JAG attorney told me that I basically have no chance of fighting...

ARNG member going thru a NDR-PEB. I was connected with my Army counsel JAG attorney who advised me to attempt to get my P3 profile downgraded if at all possible. After speaking to someone within my state that facilitates the PEBs and FFD evals, I was told that it is not possible for me to get...

Thank you, that's a little reassuring. When I went for the fit for duty exam, I felt like I got ripped off. I didn't really know anything going into it and thought I would be given a chance to plea my case. I was mistaken. The provider that did my "exam" was a general medicine PA - the same one...
