Nope. Was found unfit by the PEB 8/6/2025. Still waiting for the VA.
 
Did your peblo let you know you were unfit? I had a notification pop up for me stating I was pending PDRL/TDRL or Sepsev which I assume means I was found unfit on 8/21.

Yes. My peblo let me know.

The Salesforce / MNCC case is standardized for the PEB. It doesn't mean you were found unfit. It just starts the process of telling pers what to do with you once the determination is made. Best bet, is call and ask your PEBLO. Most ratings are coming back within 6-8 weeks. I wouldn't expect to hear back for a while. But I will update my timeline once I get more info

My VA ratings closed October 14th. 100% P&T with SMC-S. Still no word on DA199.

How are you finding out your VA rating? I have asked the VA and they won't tell me, they say I have to wait for the PEB to come back with my findings.

Ask your MSC / VA rep. They can tell you.

I can never get a hold of my MSC, but I guess I'll give that a go again. Thanks!

Legally speaking, it's the only person who can tell you the ratings. Mine sent me a screenshot of my proposed ratings letter.

Is anyone extremely frustrated with the lack of movement from the Navy PEB? Very very few results have came back since the shutdown ended and it doesn't seem to be speeding up. Ugh....

I submitted to the PEB in July. I feel your pain. My proposed rating was 100% with SMC-S. It feels never ending at times

How did you get word of being found unfit? I haven't got anything but hurry up and wait from my PEBLO. Had to call the VA several dozen times to get someone to email my my proposed rating

My peblo told me on the phone. They have access to the tracking system. It's not usual to not be told until you sign your DA199 with DOD and VA ratings. Call and ask your PEBLO Monday.

I haven't been able to reach my PEBLO over the phone once this entire process. Have only gotten short replies via email

That's absolutely terrible. Completely unsat. I'm sorry your getting the work around. You should file an ICE complaint on the clinics / hospitals website. The CO of the medical facility will see it and address. No matter the workload, not answering phone calls during this process is not okay

Between the cold shoulder from the PEBLO and working each day at my command (beyond mustering and handling admin) I feel very stuck and burnt out. I understand the process will come to an end at some point but this is the most daunting portion of my Naval career/Adult life, despite having effectively no responsibility beyond transitioning.

Fingers crossed the PEB has a strong week ahead to process folks.
