Background:
Air Force with 10 years Active Duty Service, had a short break in service for transition from enlisted to commissioned status (1yr 8 mos). I was recently informed by my PCM that I will be referred to MEB and I came across this forum while searching for information. I am unfamiliar with the MEB process and am actively learning as much as I can, but could use advice and input on likely outcomes from those that have navigated this process based on my situation/listed conditions.
Documented conditions:
1. OSA (Jan 18)
2. Mild persistent asthma (Oct 18)
3. Adjustment Disorder (Sep 18)
4. Flat foot acquired (PES PLANUS) (Jan 08)
other medical issues over the years:
Shin splints, hearing loss, otitus media, lumbago, sciatica, knee sprain, shoulder injury cervicalgia, dyspnea, pneumonia, possible PARS L5 defect
I am told that my OSA would trigger an expedited/lite MEB, but now the asthma and AD will trigger a full MEB. I have been dealing with breathing issues over the last year, and after several visits to urgent care and being given alergy medicine that did not help I finally requested my PCM refer me for a pulmonary breathing test. This resulted in my diagnosis of asthma. As for AD I have been dealing with depression and anxiety over the last few years, but over the last year the impact on my work and home life became troublesome enough to check myself into BHOP and I was immediately referred to MH.
