I have just seen doctor at WPAFB for MEB Total Right hip replacement with arthritic left hip. He said he would not recommend waiver for running? Is this normal? I also am an AGR/Active Guard Reserve with 15.5 years active duty and 22 yrs Air Guard. What decides active duty medical retirement or severence pay? This process is scary. My wife and I think that as much pounding and exercise as I do to stay in shape it may be time to punch out if given the option? Not sure what to do... Any suggestions on process would be appreciated.

Once you complete the PEB if your unfitting condition is rated 30% or higher you will get retirement.
I assume you mean the doctor won't give you a physical profile to exclude running? If you are determined medically disqualified and physically unfit, zero to 20% gets you a discharge with severance pay (however, if you have over 20 years of qualifying service (over 50 points a year) than you will be given the option of waiving severance pay and collecting nonregular retired pay at age 60). If you are rated at 30% or more, you are retired.
Will you be rated for your hip or for arthritis?
