I just wanted to provide a quick update and thank everyone on this site for all of their help. This site is not just a source with a wealth of information but it is also extremely supportive and for that I will be forever thankful. Now to the update: I am being medically retired, I took the...

I go to Texas in the next couple of weeks to appear before a PEB board. Is there anything that I should be aware of before I go? I have been trying to find a list of bases that a service member with asthma can PCS and deploy to, but I haven't had any luck.

Thanks for your response. The thing is it doesn't interfere with my job. I am just on a C2 code and a no running profile for now. In my Commander's letter it states that it doesn't affect my primary duties in my AFSC. The thing my Shirt brought up was that I can go and meet the formal board and...

I spoke with my new CC and he doesn't seem very helpful. I told my CC and 1st Shirt that I plan on going to the formal board and he warned me that if I went that the formal board can reduce my current rating " I now some people who wen to the formal board with 20% and came back with 10%". Is...

Sorry about the late response... I am going to the formal board to see if I can be retained.

An officer at the Airmen Counsel. Jason, what are your thoughts?

I am being advised to wait until after my formal board to request a VA one-time reconsideration.

Thanks for the information. I have had the vapor form of prednisone and the tablets.

Okay, just wanted to make sure there any other supporting documents that I needed.

Mike, What exactly do you think I would need to provide as evidence?

Pebble, I am requesting a consultation on the very matter you addressed.

This is what my AF Form 356 says: Category 1- Unfitting conditions which are commendable and ratable: 1.Lumbar strain. 20 2. Moderate Persistent Asthma. 0 Sorry for any confusion

Thank you all sooooo much for all your advice. I will definitely keep you all up to date. I have gotten in contact with the Airmen's Counsel and I am going to apply for both (FPEB and VA re-consideration). I really want to stay in but I don't think I can take anymore rejection and disappointment.

If I ask for a reconsideration and the VA changes it will that automatically up my percentage on the military side? Secondly, can FPEB decrease my rating for back if I fight for the asthma? I'm just wondering because I know people have been screwed over with this whole process?

Am I suppose to do a one-time consideration or a formal board. You can't do both, can you?

Robert, i looked up the terms you posted above and light bulb went off. When I went to see my spine specialist I told him the facet injections were wearing off back in July. He offered another round of facet injection (but warned me against it due to my age) or burning the nerves he said that it...

My documents say FEV-1 greater than 80% predicted. But my PFT on 3/9/2012 says FEV1(L) PRE BD Actual 1.80 Predicted 2.60 % Predicted *69 Actual *1.48 Challenge % Predicted- *57 Actual *1.66 Post-BD % Pred- *64 This is what was sent up

Wow, I promise you I kept saying there is stuff missing in my records that were being sent up. I kept being told that IPEB counsel had access to my record and they will go into it and get more info to base their rating on if it was decided that I should be separated. From what I am understanding...

I just hit 11 years last month. Numbness and tingling is documented in the narrative but I have never taken the test you mentioned. My diagnosis that went up was moderate persistent asthma and lower back pain. The asthma came back at 0%, so I am guessing that is not failing and my back at 20%...

Bpark, I'm sorry for spilling my emotions on the thread there is just a lot going through my head. To my knowledge I am not in shortage career field, so if Sascha is right. I would be fighting a losing battle.
