    How long after signing your 1180 did you get orders? I signed my 1180 today and I'm trying to guesstimate a timeline so I can update the company that has been holding a job position for me. I was told AFPC has up to 14 days, do they usually take the full 14??

    CIS -Retain

    I’ve seen lots of post but I’d like to hear from others and their outcomes when a cc said to retain, but you asked not to be retained. I think I have 4 total items in which will be included in my NARSUM. I feel that since I’m a “good worker” have been in awhile and have a lot of experience that...

    I know the PsA is rated of per joint and I believe the Psoriasis is rated off the Humira use. So that would be 10% per joint w/bilateral factor and I think 60% with psoriasis because of Humira use and corticosteroids. My case after begging and getting the patient advocate involved was finally...

    AMRO

    What does the AMRO do? I heard they determine for or unfit. Does that mean my cares will close with them? If so will I have to keep getting evaluated by them every year if they return me to duty but I keep receiving the Botox which is what triggered this?
