@rumrobot I am in a similar situation. At first my Wing was trying to send me up for a Non-Duty Related DES(NDDES). I have been fighting them for close to 3 years now. Unlike your Wing mine has been horrible. If they are sending you up for a PSC then the IPEB will make a determination on duty...

@AF_D I am in a similar situation. 21 years of service with a TAFMS of 12.5. My Wing really tried to stick it to me. First with outright refusing to initiate LODs, then terminating orders, and finally trying to send me through a Non-Duty Related DES. After getting my Senator, IG, and CMSAF...

Here is where I am at. 30 SEPT I received a Memorandum that was authored in my name, but I did not draft it. They called it a "Statement of Selection." In the memo, I agree that my conditions are not duty related, and that I would only be going through a DES for a fitness determination. I could...

@Agross I hope that you have appealed the decision. The decision is not final. People more versed in this process can probably give better advise, but there is the appeal process. After that I believe you can submit a BCMR package to rule on the entirety of all your evidence. Also if you have...

I just received an email from my MDG Command. They are referring me for a Non-Duty DES. @Guardguy11 I saw you were saved by the 8 Year Rule. Did your process follow this same track? I feel that I am going to need to get an attorney.

@Guardguy11 you inspired some new COAs for me as well. I don't know that they will go anywhere, but I just submitted 3 FOIA requests. 1 is for the General that denied my appeals. I requested how my many appeals have been approved/denied by him and his office for the last fiscal year. The second...

@Guardguy11, I really appreciate your insights. As far as the BCMR I do not have new evidence outside of presenting pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov studies that clearly link the conditions I have to combat injury/exposure. My main argument is that they do not follow AFI's that they are mandated to. They...

Update: I contacted my FSS to as the status of my LOD appeals. I was told that the appeals were all denied. The FSS says that they have a letter that I need to sign. I am geographically separated from my Wing. I requested that they email me the letter. I'm assuming the appeal was denied by my...

Latest Update: I have sent a few emails just asking what my status is. I have been terminated from medcon against my PCM and Surgeon's recommendation. I am without pay or benefits. I am waiting on my Wing Medical to submit the MEB package. We are well over the 90 day timeline that is spelled out...

BLUF: Asked for status update, and I was threatened with UCMJ Latest Update. I sent an email to my Commander requesting that he ask the MDG where I was at in the DES process. I asked that he find out if anything has been done, and if not what is the timeline to accomplish it. I made the...

@jr0718, this whole process has been disgraceful. I have submitted my appeals, but I was told by the LOD PM that they have to go through a Wing Board to even see if they will send them up for consideration. They will not even refer me to the DAWG/IRILO/DES for processing. At this point the NILOD...

@Jason Perry, I tried to send you a message, but I received an error message saying that I could not message you. I definitely would like to discuss this with you, and I would like to help out in any way to prevent this from happening to others. Let me know if there is an alternate way that you...

Just a quick update. I had 3 LODs determined to be NILOD-EPTS-NSA by NGB. Their reasoning was that even though they agree I incurred the conditions while in a qualified duty status that "authoritative medical literature" supports the conditions pre-existed. They made this determination with zero...

Yep that's me. I heard that the MSgt resigned. I was unaware that DA may also resign. They need to bring in outside help, or outsource the LOD process to another base. At the end of the day all they had to do was fill out 1 form. Instead they decided to to hold their own in house determination...

Just a quick update. After a lot of back and forth with my Wing they are finally agreeing to send up all my LOD conditions. They are still trying to route them through a formal LOD which doesn't make sense since they would have to have evidence of negligence, misconduct, or the conditions were...

Jason, Thanks for reaching out. You hit the nail on the head. My shoulder LOD was initially denied by the medical admin clerk. When I say denied I mean to say that he would not even initiate the LOD bc he decided it was not in the line of duty. The AFI is clear. If you are on any duty status...

I am prior Army, and I'm currently Air National Guard. I tore my shoulder back in 2020. In the course of getting my shoulder diagnosed my PCM found several other issues like hypertension, sleep apnea, premature ventricular depolarization, migraine with aura, and some other conditions. I was on...

I had shoulder surgery 5 months back. The surgery went great, and the first 3 months of physical therapy went well also. About 2 months one of the PT techs began aggressive stretching on my arm. He would have me lay on my back with my operated arm off the table. He would then lift it above my...
