MacDill AFB MEB Timeline 3rd Quarter 2025

Good morning, afternoon, or evening.

I am writing this because I believe I COULD be going through an MEB. I have A LOT of questions and believe that I am in the dark, and so this will be a good journal for anyone else potentially in my same shoes, potentially at a different base.

Brief overview:
- I have been on a profile for a year or so and have been EXTREMELY active with medical appointments. I have chronic pain and have been receiving treatment for the past 10 months. Treatment ranges from physical therapy to minimally invasive procedures (never been under the blade).
- I was recommended to do the IRILO (August), and my PCM pushed that; I don't know the results, however, I now have codes 37 and 42 on my profile, and the MEB box is indeed checked.
- My PCM said he submitted a NARSUM (August); however, neither my commander (CIS) nor PEBLO reached out.
- I still have more appointments that my PCM recommended to me.
- I don't know what the chief complaint will be for my MEB, either, by the way. I have a laundry list of issues, but I don't know the ones that will be submitted to the DOD for rating.

That all said, my PCM is absolutely amazing, and he is SUPER swamped. I reached out to the PEBLO on base, and they said that my PCM has quite a few MEB cases going through, which I don't know if that is good or bad... However, I am going to be added to that queue, and I'm ready to go!

Thank you for reading this "journal entry", and God bless you all.

UPDATE:
• 19 March 2026 – Sat down with PEBLO, elected IDES, signed docs, etc.
 
• 1 April 2026 – MSC initial call!!!!
I cannot wait to start these exams. I was told by my MSC that exams SHOULD start and finish within 30 days... I told her my research says otherwise, but I am hoping for the best haha.
 
• 2 April 2026 – VES call to set up account and learned about my first appointment. I will have 4~5 appointments.
 
• 8 April 2026 –
Both diagnostic appointments were rescheduled.
Dental appointment cancelled due to the provider not being in on that day.
General exam scheduled for the 14th.
