Rah,

Here's my most up to date timeline through the IDES process. If anyone has a similar timeframe, please let me know. My PEBLO/Initial Lawyer said it takes about 2 months to get a board date. I really don't want to be here for an extended time if possible. Just ready to get out of here already.

Your timeline looks incredibly fast, considering the FPEB request. I hope the rest of my IDES process will be the same.

For me personally:

EMEBR Entry date: March 14
IDES enrollment: June 1
First C&P exam: June 5
Last C&P exam: July 5

Looking back, it has been pretty fast. But it has felt slow as a snail's pace.
 
Update:

Had my formal board yesterday, will be 100% DoD and 100%VA and placed on the PDRL. Now, I just wait to receive my official formal board findings. Hopefully they come soon!
 
Update:

Received my formal board findings today! 1Aug25 100%DoD PDRL/100%VA. I assume my retirement date will be Sep30? Hopefully someone can advise.
 
It takes about two weeks for your PEB package to be sent to seps and retirement and then they look at how much leave you have and base it off of that. So it could be that date.

Okay awesome. I have about 30 days so it seems reasonable it'd be Sep30, that way I could use them.
 
You also rate 4 weeks of PTAD so what I would do is take that and sell back leave but that’s just me. Best of luck!
 
Well my rank was such that it made things easy to handle. I’d say if you are junior enlisted your officer and snco should let you check out now since your results are back. I honestly checked out as soon as my C&Ps were done because I had so much leave to burn.

Yes, they're letting me check out now. Some places are making me wait until my EAS gets updated, however.
 
Hey man, I just signed for my findings July 30th, a couple days before you. Also medically retiring, and was also told to expect Sep. 30 as my updated EAS.

Being at the last step, waiting for the new EAS to populate is killing me! My buddy's only took 10 days to update, and I've read that it can take over month. I hate the uncertainty!! Anyways, if you see anything on your MOL let me know. I'll post on this thread if I see mine update first.

Sounds good! I'll update here once I see anything. I'm the exact same way, constantly refreshing MOL to see if there's anything new. For your buddy, was that 10 calendar days or 10 business days?
 
Nope, nothing. I'm going to try stay sane until Friday. If nothing, I'm definitely calling MMSR-4 to see if they at least received my case.
That's unfortunate. I feel the same. It's increasingly difficult to continue waiting patiently after so many months of waiting. I called MMSR-4 and they said they haven't received mine, however, it was about 9am on a Monday. I figure I'll call again later in the week. Do you know who handles submission to MMSR-4? Hoping you get your date soon, since I should be right behind you lol. Also, my PEBLO told me to turn in my findings to my S-1, which seems a bit strange. Not sure if you had to do the same.

The whole process is infuriating, and the fact that it's the last step, makes the same old waiting game a million times worse.

When we signed for our findings, I think our case gets sent back to the PEB, then from there it goes to MMSR-4 to update the retirement/separation date.

I gave someone in S-3 the paper that said I would be placed on the PDRL that also had my boardable conditions, the one with need to know. I just had to show S-1 that paper to get my checkout sheet.
