hsanchez0328, I had my POV transported on my medical retirement orders which only authorized the shipment of household goods. All it took was a copy of my orders and a letter from my doctor stating that it was unreasonable/dangerous to drive due to my medical condition. Bring these documents to...

Any updates or different findings on this from anyone?

One other thing to mention is that any adverse action resulting from one of the conditions for which you are undergoing a MEB (i.e. missing morning PT formation due to the sleep medication the member is taking for his/her PTSD) renders the action invalid (this is a closely related concept to the...

prfctasillevrbe, The DoD handles everything that has to do with certifying eligibility for GI transferability, then the responsibility falls to the VA. The exception to the rule was mentioned by me earlier in this thread (my apologies, it was lost in the shuffle) - from the DVA...

batcheej, The DoD website (it seems to be a provisional website) is located at: Defense.gov - Special Report - Post 9/11 GI Bill The authority is Department of Defense Directive-Type Memorandum (DTM) 09-003: Post 9/11 G.I. Bill, located at...

prfctasillevrbe, I understand your frustration and the lack of information is rampant throughout the military establishment, especially in regard to post-service benefits such as the Post 9/11 G.I. Bill. To tell somewhat of a little experience I "enjoyed" - I joined the Army under the Student...

It is not the receipt of disability severance pay that disqualifies you from re-enlistment, it is the RE code (and associated "reason code") on your DD-214. In a vast majority of cases, members who were medically separated/retired will have a RE code of '4' which essentially bars one from...

The bolded portion is true. The underlined portion is not necessarily true - you need at least 6 years of service to qualify for transferability.

As Ruptured Duck stated, the regulations state members currently in the DES will be retained until final adjudication is reached by the PEB. But as you probably gathered from RD's comment - the military does not always follow their own regulations. Otherwise, I echo the recommendations of RD's...

PURSUING MEB REFERRAL TO PEB AND UNFIT FINDING LoufromFWB, If you have any conditions which fail retention standards, your case must be forwarded to the PEB per AFI 148-123. Your fitness or unfitness can never be determined at the MEB level - only the PEB holds the power to declare a member...

Recruiterguy, What is your active duty time in service at this point? How far along are you in the MEB process?

The DoD is in control of transfer eligibility (since they must certify that the member has served at least 6 years and agreed to serve 4 more years - different mechanisms of confirmation exist for each service). This website provides general links and explanations concerning the DoD side of...

11bin3id, That is certainly an unfortunate development with your friend, I hope she can get through it and live her life. I can tell you that I have respiratory issues that have been ever present since I've been at Hammer (I was there the same time as you). I have a 0% rating assigned from the...

Just saw this (2 weeks later) - and wanted to say thank you for the b-day wishes!

Tide210, I'm presuming you were on the TDRL and were found fit for duty during a re-evaluation. Hard to accurately answer either of your questions without more facts. What were you placed on the TDRL for? How long were you on the TDRL? Branch of service?

Edited for verification - will get back with an answer soon!

I think it is outstanding idea to "get at them" on what happened in your case. You may feel this way already, but getting that OTH changed to an Honorable (and receiving any entitlements you should have received 14 years ago with a MEB/PEB) is definitely worth pursuing. I'm sure down the road...

As a side bar - with practically any medical condition, most military transportation departments will facilitate the move of one vehicle (granted you are receiving a medical separation/retirement). If you play it right, you can probably get more than one vehicle moved (I am not suggesting...

Happy Birthday PEBForum! I've had the honor of being a moderator here for a little over a year (and a member for about a year and a half). My life would be drastically different had I never come across this forum. Thank you to Jason and all the wonderful members/moderators past and present!

TACP - unfortunately this never made it through the bureaucracy on Capitol Hill...maybe next fiscal year!
