Finally was able to get a hold of the PEBLO here at MacDill. She explained she was waiting for all the MD reports to arrive in the system. The delay was that my PCM had been deployed since the OSA process began, and that cause delayed on who would receive, QC, and input the reports...

All: Received more clarification on my AF Form 469: the TDY coordination is reserved for emergency situations only; leave is reserved for emergency leave too. Looks like no CENTCOM AOR traveling (attending a conference isn't an emergency) until the MEB is resolved. That's the latest...

ALL: I just received my AF Form 469 with my Code 37 (pending MEB/PEB) on it. It says I can't PCS or deployed until the MEB/PEB is resolved. It also says that TDY and leave should be coordinated with my PCM and with the PEB LO. I sent a copy up to my bosses as well as the applicable...

Nate, thanks for the reply and the info. I'll check vMPF and look for the Code 37. I'll give Flight Med a call too and see if there is any paper work I can pick up. I did see in the Assignments AFI how with a Code 37 the member can't go deployed, TDY, or leave (outside the local area) until...

So, I went to the clinic today to review the MEB process with my Dr. Once I get stable with the OSA (CPAP tritrated to proper level, etc.) then the MEB process will start in earnest. Until then, he said I'd be on a profile that percludes me from deployment, TDY, leave (outside local area)...

I plan to make it to 20. But arming myself with all the info is important. I've read about the concurrent disability + retirement payment. Sounds like a good plan. Thx again.

Jason, I agree. I think the AF tends to be short-sighted on mitigating the conditionrsther than the long term effects of thecondition. I can already hear the drs or mybosses saying "you didn't have the machine for years, so you don't use itfor a while, what could it hurt.". The point is...

Thx for the reply. Someone will have to decide what is or isn't a stable power supply. I'll check out the links. I was also hoping for some recent anecdotes and stories. Thanks again.

Thanks for the reply Jason. I'm optimistic too, but best to have all the "realities" spelled out. I'm most curious about the non-deployment aspect to the OSA with CPAP usage. I do travel to the CENTCOM AOR frequently for work, so hopefully the flight surgeon will be able to tell me...

Hi all, started a new sleep apnea thread. Appreciate any discussion.

Greetings, all. Lots of great information in the forum. Thanks to all of the posters. I've been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea, and I've been given a CPAP. I've been using it for a few days now, and it's making sleeping better. I do have to go throught a MEB for the condition. I...
