Fort Drum timeline

I haven’t seen many fort drum timelines, so I’ll be posting mine for anyone else going through the process here.

I won’t go through everything leading up to the start of my med board because I initially turned down a p3 in favor of a p2 so that I could go on a deployment. After said deployment worsened my condition, I made an appointment with my PCM to discuss revising my med board option.

September 24- PCM determined MRDP
September 25- first contact with nurse case manager
September 26- ortho determined MRDP
October 15- NCM briefing to MEB physician
October 15- accepted into IDES / P3 profile generated

Currently waiting for second signature on my P3 profile. NCM said I should have received a call from IDES in 24-48 hours after my P3 profile was created, but after reading other threads it looks like I should receive that call after I get the second signature.

If anyone is familiar with fort drum timelines, can you please reply with your timeline or experiences so I can get a better idea of what to expect. I’ll continue to update as I move along my process.

FWIW I think it prudent to always submit a NARSUM appeal when you have things you disagree with. It peserves the record for a formal and other appeal options.
 
I agree. I’m well over a month since I’ve gotten my initial NARSUM, but I want it on record I disagree with the meb findings and it did give me time to gather additional evidence.
 
Update #5

December 29 - NARSUM received
January 5 - legal review/ IMR submitted
January 8 - IMR returned/ NARSUM appeal requested
February 2 - NARSUM appeal submitted
February 4 - final NARSUM returned and sent to PEB
 
Jan 5 - legal review/IMR submitted: that was a request for an IMR?
January 8 when the 'IMR Returned/NARSUM appeal requested': I assume they denied the IMR, and maybe (hopefully!) made some edits to your NARSUM, is that correct?

I ask because I am at the same point in my process where I submitted a request for an IMR, it was denied, some changes to my NARSUM, but they did not add any unfitting conditions to the 3947. I am in the process of drafting a rebuttal to the updated NARSUM.

I hope your wait is not too long between now and hearing back on the IPEB.
 
I requested an IMR the day I got my NARSUM on Dec 29, I had to wait to meet with the meb attorney on Jan 5. We got the IMR memo written and submitted the same day.

On Jan 8 I got my IMR results back with a new NARSUM. There were some edits made to some conditions and like 2 (fit) conditions added as well. The IMR wasn’t denied, fortunately drum just has a very fast turnaround time.

For my last NARSUM appeal I did have one condition added as unfitting in addition to my original referred condition.
