I'm a National Guard member with over 20 years in service - have 20 year letter. My injuries are found in the line of duty. I was on orders for under 30 days when injury occured. I am coded 37 and not on medcon orders. Prior to the start of the MEB The VA awarded me 70% PTSD and MDD as a result of MSA.
My issue is that I am in the middle of the PEB and my ETS is this Tuesday, May 12. I was supposed to extend my enlistment this week, but my command is telling me that I now need a waiver before they can extend me. I highly doubt this waiver will be processed in time for me to extend.
My experience with the guard is that they fire people by not extending or re enlisting them.
What happens if I ETS during the PEB process? If I ETS will I also lose VA benefits for not completing the board? Can I go back and apply for a regular retirement at age 60?
I think the reg the are going by is ANGI 36-2002.
I need advice on what my rights are and what actions to take.
