    Need BCA advice please, retiring PDRL in 40 days.

    Thank you, Sir. I was finding the same thing. I read through several but none that said with enough conviction that I would be okay.

    Need BCA advice please, retiring PDRL in 40 days.

    @Jason Perry or @gsfowler, either of you have any insight? I'm running out of time and I don't know my options. I'm afraid I'll lose my retirement.

    Need BCA advice please, retiring PDRL in 40 days.

    I've searched these threads and haven't come up with specifically the answer I'm looking for. Hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I've received my orders to retire on PDRL for Dec 29th. My command is insisting I complete/waiver this PRT cycle prior to checking out. I'll have no...

    PEB and Admin Sep for failing Body Composition Program

    Mr Fowler, If your formal FPEB has been completed, you've been set to be placed on PDRL and you've received orders to retire but fail a BCA while awaiting your retirement date, what are the administrative possibilities at that point? Can they force an admin sep on you? My branch medical...

    Awaiting retirement date and was injured! Help!

    Oh my gosh, thank you for the quick response. I feel a little more relieved. It was the doctors that were saying they weren't sure what would happen with it and I was nervous to go to my post op without any knowledge as to how to proceed. I have a couple things that were slated to happen before...

    Awaiting retirement date and was injured! Help!

    Recently I was notified that I was being medically retired after attending FPEB. I signed for my findings on Oct 17th and selected a retirement date of 31 Dec 2016. While awaiting my official message, I broke my ankle off duty, which required surgical fixation and I'm now on convalescent leave...

    How many days do you get to go for the Formal PEB?

    So it's pretty formal and of course coupled with your nerves, it's going to feel a lot more daunting than it turns out to be. The whole walking in, reporting and raising your hand portion is about the worst. After that's said and done, things start rolling and it's not so bad. Just be...

    How many days do you get to go for the Formal PEB?

    It was at the Washington Navy Yard and my lawyer was helpful. It was hard to be in contact with him regularly before I went out there, but during the process while I was there I had his undivided attention. They're super busy, I understand, but it's still stressful. Yes, he called me Monday...

    How many days do you get to go for the Formal PEB?

    Because I was originally sent up for two conditions and they came back with the original findings as unfit, but made one of my conditions a category 2 of my other condition. So I requested FPEB to have them rated separately unfitting.

    How many days do you get to go for the Formal PEB?

    For those of you headed to the FPEB, I went in front of the FPEB August 25th and I am still awaiting results. The lawyer told me 4-8 weeks. I don't know how long it's taking others, just thought I'd post an update for anyone headed there soon so you don't get frustrated if you don't hear in a...

    Recent FPEBs

    I waited a very long time to get my FPEB date as well. I requested the appeal in May and did not go to my board until the end of August. Hang in there, you should hear soon. Then the wait starts again. LOL!

    Recent FPEBs

    Nice! There were no stipulations with mine. It took about an hour start to finish. I'm just hoping the wait isn't forever. All this waiting is taking its toll, I just want to be done. Thanks for the reply!

    Recent FPEBs

    Happy Friday, everyone. Just out of curiosity for those of you that have attended the FPEB recently, how long did you wait to be notified of the results? I went back in August, so I'm just trying to get an idea of how long the wait is right now. Let me know how your FPEB went and how long you...

    Has anyone went from unfit to fit via FPEB

    Those of you that have gone to DC for the FPEB, how long did it take to get your results back? I just had mine last week and I was wondering how long I'd have to stress over it this time. *sigh*

    Findings of the Physical Evaluation Board Proceedings Question

    Yes, from what I understand is the category 2 conditions have been lumped together with your unfitting condition, being your PTSD. I went up to the PEB for 2 unfitting conditions and they rated them together as one, with one of the conditions being a category 2 of the unfitting condition they...

    Nerve Conduction Study / EMG Required for Radiculopathy

    I wish my MRIs had been done with contrast. The brain MRI was not done with contrast either and it was done to rule out MS prior to my first surgery. I've had Cervical, Thoracic and Lumbar MRIs that have been consistent with some of my pain and nerve issues. But I kind of wish they had done...

    Nerve Conduction Study / EMG Required for Radiculopathy

    Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry to hear that. Was your MRI with contrast? I've had several spine MRIs without contrast and one brain MRI without contrast and they've all come back with several issues, but none mentioned lesions. I've wondered if contrast was required to detect something like that...

    If you don't mind me asking, what showed up on the MRI that ended with the diagnosis of MS?

    Nerve Conduction Study / EMG Required for Radiculopathy

    I'm headed to the FPEB next week to try and get my radiculopathy rated separately. My conditions went up separately, but were combined during the IPEB rating process. I've since had another EMG with abnormal results. I'm extremely stressed and nervous about next week. All I can do is hope...
