May IPEB AF Packages

Jeep Freak,

I'm sorry to hear about all the things you are going through. By the end of this ordeal, I felt that the military was not for me anymore. I did want out but we don't always get what we want. I don't know how things will be for my future but I'm trying to remain positive. As far as your unit, you are not alone. There are many, many people going through things with their leadership...some worse than others. Whatever you need to do to find peace, do it. For me, it's prayer. That is how I made it through my wait and also acceptance of the RTD result. I thought I'd be distraught but I wasn't. So, just keep fighting. I know it's easier said than done but every day you wake up, you receive another chance at life... to fight and be strong. And that goes for all of you reading this post, including me. We have to be strong even when we don't want to. Take care of yourself. No one can do that like you can :) HAPPY HUMP DAY!
 
First of all, everyone congrats on your news!

To those appealing, good luck.

Now, I'm going to go bug my PEBLO and see where MY news is :D
 
It is my belief (religious beliefs) that all of this is happening for a reason and at this time I am unsure why. I really don't want to retire and would love to stay on but not at this base, 11 yrs is long enough. I also know I am having way to many issues to be the leader that I was or should be but that could be questionable when you look at the others. It is very hard to counsel Airmen when you are crying your eyes out like I did with the Sq sup and Comm., note to self bring your own tissues to show that you are prepared for anything. To make matters worse is the treatment I am receiving at work (profile issues, appointments, actual work perform…) makes me feel worthless. If I give in to them I would probably be dead. I feel you (me and everyone) must have a purpose or you will fail. Last Friday I sat across from my Sq Comm and told him everything about the last 7 yrs even though he has only been there about 2 yrs. He asked about my profile issues and I told him that everyone is pointing to him, did not quote his e-mail “you got to be kidding me, send it back”. He claims he will take care of the profile and other issues and I took this week off to regroup. I have still heard nothing and I don’t understand why so much longer than the others besides JJC515, you give me hope but I‘m willing to ditch you Ha Ha. I haven’t heard anything about my EPR as well, close out 2 Jun. They had probably signed it for me because they knew I was going to fight it. Yes, I did send them an e-mail telling them I was available for the feedback and signature. You got to love leadership, right or wrong.

My new PEBLO told me to wait and see but contact her on the 28th of Jun and then on the 5th of July If we still have not heard anything. My package was received on the 5th of May.
 
I have a question about the FPEB. I have no intention on flying to Texas and intend to drive even at my own expense. I’m thinking of visiting my daughter in Corpus Christie because my 7 yr old son can’t remember what his sister looks like, its been 3 yrs. He would also like his brother-in-law teach him to shoot a bow and arrow, he is American Indian. Yes my older brother wants to come with me and no I did not ask, thanks Dad.

Do you stay on base or do they put you up downtown?
What are the odds that I can have my son and brother stay with me?
How long roughly are you kept there ?
 
Just spoke to my PEBLO.

She told me that my action officer was the one who quit/left/had issues/whatever, so that's where my delay is.

Just my luck :D
 
We must have the same person. When stuff like this happens at work, I'm usually to blame because I'm considered a jinx. I'm now singing "If I had no bad luck, I've have no luck at all" or something similar. I was told my package arrived 5 May. If I've heard nothing by the 28th, call my PEBLO. Call again on the 5th of July If I've still heard nothing. I think the first call is a warning that I'm going to call again in one week so she should maybe take leave.
 
Just spoke with my new PEBLO this morning. The IPEB believes they are going to request more information but her hard drive is down and she is not positive. WOW, you could knock me over with a feather, that might be true because I'm dizzy all the time it seems. I had only told anybody including everyone in the MEB that they needed to do a ROM. My PEBLO wanted me to go right then to PT and get it done but I asked her to wait and find out for sure and what else they might want. I've got a good feeling about her and I hope she knows what she is doing. She believe my package will go back and be placed on the bottom of the stack, another 60 days once it is sent but maybe I won't have to do a FPEB.

My Flt Comm asked if I had a purpose besides making her life difficult. I did not want to cause trouble but integrity, honesty and fairness are attributes she should have and she brought this on herself, besides if she was constantly attacking me I would have done the wrong thing and kept my mouth shut. Life is miserable and I'm not hiding it well, I'm being asked when my next MH appt is by numerous people.

JJC515, give me good news about you, I can take it.
 
Not fun JeepFreak, but at least your new PEBLO seems to be a step in the right direction. Commander's may think we're here to cause their lives trouble (mine certainly thinks so), but all we're trying to do is make it through and do what's best for our families.

I wish I had good news, I really do. All my PEBLO has is that it was received. She doesn't like calling and asking for status reports because they get upset when PEBLOs do. She's hoping for something this week, but that hope is based on no hard facts.

Good luck!
 
Still nothing on my end too.

It's really disheartening to see cases come back that were sent off in June (Though, congrats to those who have gotten it!).

Unable to get a hold of my PEBLO today.

Anyone know at what point it's ok to call the board at Randolph and ask whats up? I'm starting to get really worried with the extensive delay.
 
JJC515
Its been 60 days, go see the PEBLO and ask what is happening. I found out June 28th that mine was coming back for a ROM per care manager and MEB got it Jun 30th. They sent it back 5 July and still did not do a ROM, OMG!!!! I can't believe these ****, I told my new PEBLO I'm going to the hospital commander.
Life is good
 
Your PEBLO is supposed to schedule your ROM with Physical therapy to do measurements. Your primary care has nothing to do with it...
You can also schedule it yourself and turn it in to your PEBLO. Not sure what the commander would do about it, knowing you didn't try yourself first.
 
AFI 48-123
Chapter 2
RESPONSIBILITIES
2.4. Medical Treatment Facility, Medical Squadron, or Medical Group Commander.
2.4.1. Ensures timely scheduling and appropriate completion of required examinations and consultations. Unless adequately explained delays are documented, examinations will be completed not more than 30 days after they have been ordered/requested.
2.4.2. Ensures medical documents are filed in the health record and a completed copy filed IAW AFI 41-210.

My PEBLO and all of their cohorts should know their jobs and schedule the ROM when they seen the back injury in the first place. You may consider me crazy but I think when the IPEB requested a ROM the MEB would have had one done. What on earth did they send them! I will see if I can get the e-mail of what the IPEB requested tomorrow but my case manager said it was a ROM. I have been telling everyone that it needed to be done for months. I took the advantage while at my PCM to have it schedule thinking it should be in the system two times now, no such luck. I waited to see what else the IPEB might want before doing the ROM myself and look what happens.

I have been thinking this for a long time while dealing with this process and now your going to hear it. No matter what the regs say and no matter how hard you pound the note home on what needs to be done. I don’t think the normal Joe can force anyone to do the right thing or do their job properly. Everybody can keep harping on what needs to be done but incompetence runs deep. I’m not saying don’t keep me informed but it is time to elevate this and keep elevating until somebody listens. I blame myself for not doing it sooner because I did not care how long it takes but since this place is going to h*** because of my supervisor, it is time to face the music and except that I am falling apart.
 
Well, I have finally gotten my results!

Narcolepsy: 20%
OCD: 0%

If it were up to me, I'd sign that paper right now and say goooood bye Air Force. But my wife doesn't want to, sigh.

This will be a long weekend coming up.

But at least I have results!
 
I'm glad you all got your responses and I hope it was what you felt was fair. I'm still waiting, the IPEB person was on vacation this week. I guess there is always next week, I plan on going to my PEBLO again on Monday and I hope they sent the stinking ROM 3 weeks ago, they still didn't send the peripheral vestibular disorder even though the doctor wanted it added. I love this so much, at least the flight commander stopped harrassing me for now.
