I mailed in my PCS on the 24th and I emailed in my HHG claim on the 25th. HHG said 3-4 weeks and I haven't heard from them since. VA hasn't processed anything for me yet and I can't even get a new PCM yet because MilConnect still has me as active duty. Fun times here lol

Hey! Have you gotten your HHG/PCS payout yet? How's hte VA treating you?

Hey! Just to start if your ever want to DM me, I have notifications on for her . My NMA was written by my CO actually, he took a big interest in my case. I can share you some of his verbiage if you need. My attorney told me not to do a personal statement. Basically my record spoke for itself...

Last day of work is the 10th, PTDY till the 30th

yes! In my case it would have saved me about 3 months if I caught that.

thank you! It's like the words of smash mouth "and they don't stop coming"

orders came in today!

MSC Reached out to me. I could dig for that if you want the exact date but it was within the week that I did legal. I wish i did a review of my medical record, it would have saved me a hell of a headache. They were missing my entire PT records and all my external ENT notes!

Just a heads up, TSC is taking their sweet time to cut orders. I'm at 15 days since I submitted my retirement package and they haven't even looked at it. I start PTDY in less than 2 weeks ☠️

the way my MSC explained it to me is the VA only pays in at least a full month. August will be your first "full month" so september 1st will be your first full month. She also stands by that they pay ASAP but YMMV

you should get paid September 1st assuming you have your dd-214 uploaded to the VA and your all squared away

the premium is waived for med retirement. Just have to do the copays.

you don't HAVE to, in my case my lawyer actually advised against it. Just remember the board members are humans too! they understand you may not be the most effluent person.

nice, I think I'm just being impatient b.c. I want to schedule my move instead of being forced to DIY it . . . this is fun.

landlords seem to be more willing to accept proposed ratings. I just came to terms that I would have to rent for a year. only 1 out of the 5 properties I hit up said they wouldn't accept proposed ratings as income.
