I made it through 4 periods of limdu before I got fed up with the system and inquired about a meb/peb. I've got a co-worker that just started her 5th period of limdu. Have you talked with your PEBLO about requesting a MEB/PEB?

To give you an idea, my IPEB took almost exactly 3 months, of course I'm stationed in the DC area.... not sure if things move quicker depending on your location. And my command also has no idea what to do with me. For the most part I show my face, let everyone know I'm alive, then go home for...

Have you requested a medboard yet? You don't need to wait for your command to request one. I would head over to your nearest Navy MTF or call your limdu coordinator and talk with them about requesting a medboard. Don't remember if you've mentioned it yet, but what geographic area are you...

Yeah, it definitely sucks... and I wish I could say you get used to it. If I had a dime for every time I thought I knew when everything would be over, I probably wouldn't need a job when I get out.

I've talked with a few people off line about my options. Right now I'm waiting to hear back from my detailer... he's not exactly sure how the process works out either. He talked about placing me back on limdu and requesting another medboard and he talked about separation. I've gone ahead and...

In my case, I not only had a recommendation of unfit from my ortho, but also from my command. Had proof of missing 3 duty days a week for almost 2 years for OT/pain management.... still found fit. Was determined by the IPEB that I could continue on with occupational therapy and pain management...

What's your rate and how many years do you have in? So far, it sounds like you're going to fail any kind of suitability screening if your limitations are no sea duty/deployments and within 50 miles of a MTF. If you pass the medboard, but fail the suitability screening, it will ultimately be up...

almost like someone hired a team of monkeys to design this process... that and another prime example of waste.

Just a brief update... after speaking with my detailer, it looks like I'll be placed back on limdu again and make my way through the PEB process again.

Got your message, I'll get a hold of you this afternoon when I'm done with my appts.

Today I failed my suitability screening. Should find out the end result from my detailer within the next few days once all the paperwork is in.

Sorry... can't speak for the Air Force IPEBs. I'm AD Navy and mine took almost 5 weeks from the time I submitted all my paperwork to the PEB before the initial IPEB results came back to me on 23 Dec.

After talking with my detailer this morning, I'm beginning to think the chances of passing my suitability screening are pretty slim. If I fail, he said I'd go back through the med/peb process again.....? WTH? Is there someone higher up who's sole purpose in life is find ways to make this...

I'm in your neighborhood, I'll definitely let you know. I'm going to try to contact the detailer on Monday and hopefully set up a suitability screening this coming week at the Navy Yard. Thanks, Jeff

Jason, I had been planning on an unfit finding. Both writeups from my command and my Ortho Dr were both leaning towards finding me unfit to continue with my duties. I had found a job, and just started getting my life on track for becoming a civilian. I don't plan on filing for a formal board...

I received my IPEB findings today. Fit for duty. Now I have to pass a suitability screening. My issue is my wrist. Fractured it bad about 2 years ago. My range of motion is severely limited. I can no longer do a normal Navy push up.... my wrist doesn't move enough to allow my hand to sit...

Did you write the CO's statement yourself and then route it up for cutting and approval? I'm in the middle of putting together my NMA right now... my CO is relatively new to the command, and honestly, probably couldn't tell you anything about anyone there yet.

Wow.... I'm seeing and hearing a huge variance in the time it takes for everything to go through. Is this based on Service, injury, location or is it all just random? I was originally told by my PEBLO to expect IPEB results w/in 5 months of completing my VA physical/evaluation. I was told by...

Has your son spoken with a rep at the JAG office yet? It sounds like they're trying to get him pushed out the door as quickly as possible. It's his right to appeal the PEB findings if he's not pleased with them. No one will tell him no just because he's at that 1 year mark. If he hasn't...

The Navy has waivers, but from what I can tell so far, I could only use it for 3 PFA tests before I would have to go to the PEB again or accept an admin discharge. The CO of the command has the ability to approve a long term waiver, but that waiver is only applicable under that CO at that...
