Hello everyone, I have 12 years of service (10 AD, currently in AF Reserve). I was applying for transfer to another base when the gaining medical unit said that I am not medically cleared for assignment. They told me my plantar fasciitis would require an IRILO according to the MSD and that it would need to be sent to HQ for a retention waiver. I was diagnosed while on AD and have already been rated at 50% for that condition. I have not been on a continuous profile because I only report for duty one weekend a month and don’t feel the need for one. But I do receive a profile every 6 months for my PT test exemption (no walk/run). I am also capable of wearing my boots with inserts. Since I have already been rated, is it likely that I will get a retention waiver or be submitted for MEB?

Any input would be appreciated. Thank you!
 
What is your goal, to be MEB'd or to continue to service?

This is what the MSD says
3559
 
Then I would emphasis the things in the MSD that you are not doing, like a full PT test, unable to wear non retrofitted boots....
