I wanted to keep the members here updated on my LAS status as it seems I am the only one here who got approved.
I was medically retired, but granted Limited Assignment Status in November of 2016 (at 17yrs 9 months TIS) . I have since been doing my job, as normal. I'm currently at 19yrs and 5 months TIS, and was just notified that they are initiating my final MEB. The LAS program states that I am required to go thru a full MEB prior to retiring, and AFPC reiterated that when they denied my retirement request recently. I'm a little worried that the board will conclude before I hit my 20yr mark (28 Oct). My PEBLO has told me the purpose is absolutely not to prevent me from hitting my 20, but to "finalize my DOD rating". I, of course, don't trust that at all and fully intend to delay as much as possible. I currently have 15 days of leave, and still am entitled to house hunting and 20 days of out-processing, so that should buy me some time also.
I'll do my best to keep my timeline updated to better inform everyone here.
