Ok, got my paperwork today. Outprocessing has started! Its a short window, but I will be leaving Minot the first week on November! Texas bound! Thank you all for your help!

So its been about a month since I have signed my paperwork & I still have not heard anything back. I called my PEBLO last week and was told that retirement orders take longer. Any insight on this? The main reason I am so nervous about this is because I have to start a new job and be able to...

Ok, got my package back today. Turns out that I'm am going to be Permanently Retired. 30% / 50% VA.

Yeah, its a TDRL. I was pretty sure I was going to get a seperation, but TDRL give me a chance get a retirement. I never thought it was that bad. I just have random shortness of breath, again, almost never anything extreme during PT, just random. I don't use the Advair anymore. As far as coming...

Got a call today. My MEB package is back. Bad news, I can't get to the hospital until Friday to sign it. Oh well.

Wednesday I called my PEBLO' office to see if anything had changed. My percentages were loaded. They are putting me on TDRL with the following percentages.... Air Force/Asthma: 30% VA/Asthma-Back-Neck: 50% Somewhat bittersweet. I was hoping more of a final thing (either a separation or...

Well, got news today. I stopped by my PEBLO's office today to see if there was anything new I should know about. She told me that the Air Force has judged me unfit for duty. There were no percentages loaded since I am in the ratings stage. I called the VA this afternoon (a 35 minute wait) and...

So its been two months with no news. The eBenefits site states that I am in the "Ratings" phase with no projected date for completion. TDY went well. I called my PEBLO to see if there was a "Fit/Untit" determination and she didn't have that yet. The waiting game goes on...

4.4. Control of Member During PEB Processing. Disability processing begins when the PEBRH or HQ AFPC/DPAMM refers a medical board case to the PEB. Once in disability channels, the following restrictions apply to ensure the member is available for necessary disability processing actions: 4.4.1...

So I signed my packet last Thursday (7 Jun). Looks towards getting out from reading my doctor's letter, commander's letter, & VA report. Either way, now the real wait comes. I was told it may take 4-5 MONTHS for me to get any results because they seemed to be backed up. Wow. Another thing that...

So now the waiting game. Honestly I am nervous as hell. I have no idea what they are going to do. Has anyone had any experience with asthma and a MEB/PEB? I've been searching for anything on asthma and timelines/findings seem to be all over the place. I am not on a Flovent like some, but I use...

Update: So, I got my appt for 14 May and went to the Fargo, ND VA. I will say this, it was a sad experience. There were a lot of Korean & Vietnam vets there in bad shape and it made me feel really bad. If politicians want to cut benefits for vets, let them make a visit to a VA hospital and...

Update: Well, On 5 April I got a call from the PEBLO telling me that I was for sure going through a full MEB. I went in and discussed the process and she asked a few questions. I was told that I would get a call from the VA within 2 weeks to discuss everything. She outlined the process as...

I'm sorry if the above was confusing to read, I was very heated when I wrote it. Jeep Freak; my fast track was denied due to the medicines I take for asthma. I will be meeting my doctor on the 29th to discuss the next step. The problem is that the medicines actually work, but using one of them...

Hi all, I have been visiting this site for a while now, but finally had to post due to the circumstances surrounding my MEB. I am an AF TSgt with 13 years or service. In Sep 2011, I was sent by my doctor to go get a Asthma test done off base (Methacoline Challenge?). Well, I failed (made it to...
