Ahhhhh I get it now. Thanks!

The Pulmonary Fitness Test (I think that's the acronym). That breathing test thing where you blow into a tube that measures your breathing fitness.

I never understood why DOD ratings always seem to be lower than VA ratings. How does the DOD decide their ratings? What information do they go off of to determine their ratings?

As the title states, I want to know if a failed PFT test will automatically be found as an unfitting condition. I already have 2 unfitting mental health conditions, but just in case something stupid happens and the PEB people try to find them both fit, I want to know if I can fall back on my...

I have a sleep study scheduled next month and I'm waiting to see if I'll get a new diagnosis or not. :/

I accidentally click on the Intent to File button while trying to figure out the E-Benefits website and received a letter in the mail that somewhat describes what an Intent to File is for. Does it mean that if I file a claim for a medical condition that I haven't been seen by a doctor for, I...

As the title states, I failed my PFT during my C&P exam. I've never taken one before so IDK what a failed PFT indicates as far as a diagnosis. What does a failed PFT mean? How will it affect my MEB? Thanks! :D

I just wanted take a minute to say that I appreciate everyone this site being so helpful and non-judgemental when people post their MEB/PEB stories on here. It makes me happy to know that there is a safe haven for us to express our feelings, our hardships with the MEB process, and to get...

Thanks for responding! My main concern is that her terrible NMA will mess up my ratings since she's saying that my condition doesn't affect my work. But at the same time, her statements in the NMA are contradictory because of my C&P doctors have access to my medical records and see all of the...

So, long story short, there is a lot of tension between my unit commander and I. I mean, aloooot of bad blood. I won't go into much detail, but she wrote a negative, sloppily written (different fonts and font sizes), typo-filled, CC letter in a passive aggressive attempt at retaliating against...

Has anyone's MEB/PEB ever gone 100% smoothly on here? I only ask because I'm in the beginning stages (have C&P appts scheduled) and a lot of the negative experiences I see on this website have me nervous, paranoid, and anxious. lol If anyone has any positive MEB experiences, please post them so...

This is very helpful. Thank you! :D Is there an Air Force place like the Army's WTU or something similar that I can be assigned to so I can finish out my active duty time in a somewhat healthy environment?

Thank you for this useful information. I'm not even sure if my admission would be considered voluntary at this point because I am legitimately losing it right now. I haven't been eating or sleeping too well and when I'm sitting at work, my hands start trembling and my heart beats out of my...

Thank you for responding.. Thank goodness because I feel like I'm holding on by a thread.

Hey charlie! What do you mean by C&P exam language? Also, would going inpatient during my MEB hold up the process? The longest I've ever been inpatient is 2 weeks, but I don't want to go if it's gonna drastically extend my med board time.

Thank you for answering my question. My post escalated quickly lol I'm trying not to, but will going inpatient during my MEB put the process on hold?
