    Fit or unfit?

    How often do PEBs find soldiers fit for duty. I’ve been reading a lot about how they qualify a person to be fit or unfit. But In reality do they keep more people in or do they deem them unfit majority of the time?

    Possible MEB/ Congenital Heart disease

    Hey guys, I’m currently in the process of potentially getting med boarded for my heart. I’ve had two open heart surgeries before my military career. Upon enlisting into the military I told them I’ve had two open heart surgeries and they waived me in. But they didn’t dig deep into my civilian...

    MEB for Ulcerative Colitis - Should I wait to say anything until promotion?

    Good evening. I've been in the Army going on 10 years and was hoping to get promoted before an MEB was initiated on me.

    How do additional disabilities get added to PEB

    So I am more than likely going to be referred to a PEB here soon for chronic migraines. With that said, it looks like if my case gets sent to a PEB they will evaluate more than just what I’m being boarded for. Is this correct? I also have sleep apnea (with CPAP), depression, and anxiety. What is...

    Have any Marines been found unfit for chronic Migraines?

    Ok guys I’m about 1-2 months from my dr referring me to a PEB if the current round of migraine treatments don’t work. At the moment I am taking propranolol, sumatriptan, receiving Botox, and receiving occipital nerve blocks. I have been having these for the past year and my doctor said what...

    Can you be referred to a PEB because of adverse side effects of meds?

    I posted a slightly longer version of this elsewhere, but thought the length might have scared people off. Basically my migraine meds might work, but I gained a lot of weight and can’t meet pt standards due to shortness of breath with even the slightest it of running. Am I still looking at a PEB?

    MEB/PEB Timeline YouTube channel?!

    This is something I have been contemplating for some time now but I figured I would get ya'lls take on it before I pulled the trigger. Something I have struggled to find, outside of this forum, was video based content on the process that is MEB/PEB's. I've been considering starting a YouTube...

    MEB For Required Medications due to Cyclothymia

    So, I was diagnosed with cyclothymia (Bipolar Type 2’s little brother) and was put on Lamictal. The Psychiatrist who is a Major told me that I’d be put through a MEB because you cannot be on those meds and on Active Duty. She said I would get medical retirement because of that, did she mean...

    MEB intiated for Ulcerative Colitis, What are my chances of staying in?

    I've been in the Air Force for almost 6 years. I've had the UC for 4 years but I have never had a MEB until now. My doctor says there's a very low chance I'll get the boot since my UC is really mild and I don't have to take strong meds. However, I really want to hear from people who have...

    No longer able to lookup wooded warrior MEB Docket?

    So I was checking to see if I could see if there were any new file drops for PDBR. My dock # is in the 2017 group and I used to be able to view what dockets have received a decision on becoming retired or not. The last thing I heard from the AF on the matter is that it was waiting on the VA for...

    Ok, so did me PSO C&P this past Mon, and did my PHY C&P this morning.
