I sent paperwork to PEBLO today accepting my rating and my retirement order was published with an hour. 23 Feb 26 Orders in hand
Tracking Timelines for sanity. Will update weekly on Fridays.

- Start date
That was super fast, congrats!
Everyone's timelines seem to be speeding up now. My delay is my fault, can't let an error slip, so it'll cost me some time.
My paperwork was submitted on 11 Feb and I still don't have orders.
I hope yours goes quickly. I went back and checked timestamps. I got my orders cut and loaded into vPSC within 1h14mins from when I sent the email. I accepted my ratings on the form from the PEBLO, and sent back a request with a very specific retirement date request. I sent it with justification of picking the closest date that I could get with selling back the maximum days of leave but with the caveat that I would hit a '.00' days of leave accrued date. On 24 April I will hit 77.00 days of leave, and I was able to provide that data to them. IMy paperwork was submitted on 11 Feb and I still don't have orders.
What branch are you? I don’t even know if my navy PEBLO would open an email from me unless I offered them 10 grand to do it
Thank you for tracking these! If you want to add me in for data, my case was sent from MEB to IPEB on 2/5. I was found unfit on 2/17 and now just waiting for the findings. I have had my VA proposed ratings since September.
Submitted all my pre sep stuff on friday and got Retirement date today, 25 May I am done finally. Orders should be in hand by tomorrow.
Happy Friday again! Congrats to pourshotz, ATSTACHE, McBurner25, jbiddle388, and breecakes. Good luck on your next chapter. It looks like most of the people I originally started tracking are done with the process. I imagine I'll be rounding it out within two weeks. Updates in yellow, cheers and good luck.
Hi all!
I’ve been lurking for a bit but first time posting. Here’s my timeline so far:
Nov 26 - notified by PCM of MEB
Dec 14 - first contact with PEBLO
Dec 15 - CIS submitted (do not retain)
Feb 4 - NARSUM submitted to AFPC
… I STILL haven’t heard back from AFPC on decision to proceed with full MEB and it’s almost been 4 weeks. Anyone else having issues with AFPC? Any advice on how to get the ball rolling?
PEBLO said AFPC is a month behind. I’ve been bugging her weekly for updates.
Thanks in advance!

Just send them an email asking for the case dates AFPC is currently working on. My PEBLO told me last week (Wednesday) that AFPC was working on cases submit on 14 January. So I am expecting about a 30-40 day turn around. My case details are in my signature, are dates are fairly close.
Piggy backing. I have received same Info from my PEblo and mines was submitted 15 January. She said mines specifically are with their providers. I don’t know what that means but I am going to ask if that means it’ll be another 30-45 days from last week or is that just how it’s usually done.
Sounds like yours may be with the SGP. That is a provider that is the head/chairman of the DAWG. They review it and recommend either a "retain" or a "Full MEB." There may be an option for them to recommend "continued care" but I am unsure. If your package is at the SGP, that is the final step before it gets to AFPC. You can ask your PEBLO what the SGP recommended when they send it up to AFPC.
Okay I asked that specific question before I left today so by tomorrow I’ll see what they say! Thanks for the insight

Got the med board notification email today and going to start the IDES process.
Congrats. Yours was slightly longer than the timeline they have been giving out (30-45 days). I spoke with a contact that works in that office the other day and they said they try to work them to get them back within a month. Yours took roughly 48 days. I am hoping they make up some ground over the next few weeks and the turnarounds get a little quicker.
I was waiting for the
with the decision to proceed , does that mean most likely you are unfit for service or is it still up in the air ? My providers said before this happened that with the diagnosis I have , it’ll be a faster process but I am confused now as I thought afpc determines full med board means unfit . Is the ides process just for rating purposes?
This is great information, my file was downloaded by AFPC January 21. You are one week ahead of me and I too have been reaching out to my peblo bi-weekly to see if I may have missed an email. Good luck in your process and please keep us updated!! I would love to see how our timelines sync... or don't haha.
