    Ft Drum Timeline 2016

    This AM, my PEBLO said that my case was being corrected. Not too sure what that means, as I have a copy of the ratings. I dread thinking they they may have lowered my ratings.

    Appropriate for SM to call PEB?

    So... my packet is sitting on someone's desk for 63 days now. I have seen my ratings. My PEBLO emailed the PEB 3 weeks ago (on a Friday) and he said he would try to have the 199 COB on the following Monday. Its been 3 additional weeks, and my PEBLO is loathe to 'bother' the PEB. I have the...

    looking for others with experience in ebenefits

    Monro.. are you appealing the DoD? 30% is the magic number and its usually not hard to get esp. if VA gave 100%.

    Ft Drum Timeline 2016

    Ask your PEBLO to call the PEB. I suspect mine was just sitting on a desk until my PEBLO called.

    First NARSUM

    You will get your Fit/Unfit about 2 weeks after the NARSUM. Its no longer required to be presented to the Soldier for signature. If you watch your IDES tracking you will nee when its issued, you can call your PEBLO and they can look at it. However, People have mentioned some posts still...

    Fit or Unfit?

    You totally misunderstand my post. No further explanation is needed. My statement is accurate. Call MEB lawyers for clarification if you need it.

    MEB at 19 years 3 months for Double Hip Replacements

    You can stall the process to 20 with the time you have. Someone mentioned the 18 year mark and you can retire.... that's for Reserves and was called 'Sanctuary.' that's not for Active duty. Also, when you get the NARSUM, it may very well have already credited you with 20 years.

    Fort Campbell timeline

    You will only see 'Informal PEB' completion date. That means there is a fit/unfit memo in cyberspace. The PEBLO can pull it up and show you, however Ft Drum doesn't print them anymore. The memo states you are fit for duty, or states found unfit for the following reasons with a paragraph and...

    Fort Campbell timeline

    Sleep studies are usually done at an off post provider. The fit/unfit memo is not a requirement for the SM to sign anymore, and it will not slow down or stop the process like it use to. It IS useful to see as if it is UNFIT, it will list the reasons the Army says you are unfit. It will not...

    Question on FPEB

    While I was WTB Cadre we had one Soldier who wanted to be fit for duty, but was found unfit. She fought and the board had some MOS test she had to complete. It consisted of lifting and carrying weight IAW MOS specific guidelines. Wearing MOPP gear for two hours. Passing an APFT with no more...

    How often does eBenefits update?

    Not sure why you would worry, eBenifits is the last place to check for status of your MEB. If you are Army use the MEDPROS IDES tracker under MEB/PEB, or your PEBLO. eBenifits is useful -after- you get out of the Service.

    How Long Have You Been Waiting on Ratings?

    jp it seems like we have the exact same timelines +/- a day. My PEBLO is pretty good. However her data comes from the IDES Dashboard, so in that essence I have the same data as she does. However she will get notice of the 199 before me, and if there is no movement the PEBLO supervisor can...

    Ebenefits question

    eBenifits is for Veterans not in Service. Clicking the button does nothing for Active Duty, as the VA has already made a recommendation. The PEB has to make the decision, and they don't have a website to click decide now on (I wish as I am waiting too.) We, at the WTU, briefed our Soldiers...

    How Long Have You Been Waiting on Ratings?

    What you were told about eBenifits is true. DO NOT USE IT AS A GUIDE. Until you get out. It updates some items... SOME. The VA is sending what they believe your ratings are to the PEB who makes the final decision. The real tracker is in your MEDPROS the PEB/MEB portion. Get your updated...

    Fit or Unfit?

    Clarification because some people read what they want and go from there... What I said was: "Due to Soldiers gaming the system, you are no longer required to sign a Fit/Unfit memo." By "Gaming the system" I meant, If a [reserve] Soldier did NOT want to return to duty [his unit], or to delay...

    ??? Can not Believe This????

    I'm kinda confused. An MEB can be started without a profile if Dr's or Command believe its in your (the Army's) best interest. A Profile lists specific reasons that an MEB MUST be started (ie cant fire a weapon). Once an MEB starts, there is a basic reason.. ie mine was lower back...
