MRB

[BIGJOHN]

I have been told by my unit that I have been seperated from the National Guard due to my 80% rateing which is for blood clots (aggravated by duty as gunner and driver in Afghanistan) and I will be on coumadane blood thinner for life.Still waiting to see if this will be a medical retirement have not heard anything lately from our State. I only have 4 years active USMC and 2 active guard and 2 years m-day status in the Guard. Question, is anMRB the same as a MEB and can I receive medical retirement.
Thanks

BigJohn,

Welcome! You will be eligible for retirement if unfit and rated at 30% or more. I think that you mean the MOS Medical Retention Board (MMRB). This is different than an MEB, but you can be referred to MEB as a result of an MMRB. Here is more information:
MOS/Medical Retention Board (MMRB) - Physical Evaluation Board Forum
