I have spent time looking on this forum at other peoples timelines and stories so I figured i would add my own. 10 years of service in the Nuke field and issued into IDES in October of 2020.
Issued into IDES - October 25, 2020
First exam - Jan 5, 2021
Last exam - Feb 25, 2021 (I had 6 exams in total)
Call QTC and be proactive with your exams, otherwise they will wait and schedule them for far out dates.

I am in IDES so i can't see any proposed numbers and they don't send a letter either.
NARSUM/NMA complete - Apr 9, 2021
I signed eMEB - Apr 12, 2021
Package sent to PEB - Apr 20, 2021
Fit/Unfit - ??????
Ratings - ??????
Orders and exit date - ??????
I reached out to my lawyer and PEBLO yesterday to get an update. Lawyer said that my package hasn't even been assigned to anyone yet and nothing has been done. My PEBLO said that she has people that have been waiting 11 weeks and still have no information, so hold tight and hopefully we get an answer in a few weeks. "A few weeks" is what i have been told throughout every step of this process. How is this a thing? How are these people able to just sit on this important paperwork for months and not even open the files? Sorry, venting a little bit but I think it's just ridiculous. My lawyer also said that a lot of people on the PEB are PCS'ing so there is a big changeout of personnel which is why it's taking so long. Any information on this or help in any way? Wish i could see the progress for myself instead of relying on email's through my PEBLO/Lawyer.
