Hey all, hope all is well!
Here's my backstory. 15 years, O4, active army.
18 months ago I was arrested (misdemeanor). Not going to get into the details of that, but eventually when I get my day in court I'm confident it'll be favorable (COVID seriously delayed that).
It was an alcohol related incident so I went to SUDCC, subsequently diagnosed with severe chronic PTSD and after a year of treatment proceeded into the IDES. Still getting treatment through Intrepid Spirit (great program by the way). All QTC appointments complete, just completed the NARSUM, I think I'm waiting on my MEB counseling which should be any day now.
The Army was holding off on any legal actions until the Civilian side was complete. They must've gotten tired of waiting. I was recently issued a GOMOR. In my rebuttal I stated I've been advised by my legal counsel not to discuss the case because it's ongoing. Well, the rebuttal wasn't much help as it is now being filed permanently.
I'm reaching out to TDS for options, but wondering what is the process? What to expect? From what I've read - and roughly explained by my BDE CDR (I've got a good relationship with him btw) - I'll be dual processed. However, I've read (possibly misunderstood) that the IDES process stops.
Anyone educated in this area?
