Active Duty (21 Years) Need some help on MEB

Hello everyone. Looking for some insight on my latest and greatest. I've been diagnosed with Adjustment Disorder with Anxiety and Depression. I'm currently in therapy (EMDR) and taking two types of anti-depressants (SSRIs). I've been placed on profile and removed from my AFSC (Member is disqualified from primary AFSC). My Physiologist told me that the condition is not an MEB condition. Instead, she'll be submitting my package for Administrative Separation since I was recently pulled from my AFSC.

I have over 20 years of honorable TAFMS. I can't retire since I have two ADSC (SRB/DEROS) until 2022. Does anyone have any experience with this type of situation? If I could retire today I absolutely would 100%. If they do administratively separate me, won't I just then be able to retire. Thinking if that is the course, then the ADSCs will be removed...? So confused...

If you are medically retired the ADSC is waived. ADSC, like most things in the military, can be waived by the proper authority. Your MH provider may be able to write a letter ISO waiving your ADSC so you can retire. I suggest you request a second opinion via the patient advocate in the MDG. The diagnosis matter for retirement purposes.

Adjustment disorder is over used in the military. Given you have adjusted through 20 years of service, it would be odd that it pops up at this point in your career.
