So, I have a quick question. I signed and sent off my package to the PEB back in July. It is now the end of September and I haven't even heard back from anyone concerning if I've been found fit or unfit. I called my PEBLO and she just said its at the PEB and that's all she would say. Is it normal to take this long for them to come up with a decision? I was told 15 business days. I'm at over 2 months.
My PEB

You could try calling the VA 800#...or I've also heard of members calling the ipeb directly...??? I apologIze for being so vague...I just signed my NARSUM last week...maybe someone else will chime in here soon. Hope you get the answers you're looking for.
I called the PEB directly and all she would say is that my package is processing. The same thing I was told over a month ago. I am considering just separating before my PEB is completed since I am past my EAOS already. I really just want to get out of the Navy. I completed my VA appointments back in May and I still haven't even figured out if I'm fit or unfit.
Damn...yeah I can see where you are coming from. I don't know much at all about being past your EAOS...how would it work out for you? Pro/Con list ya know? I've read posts from other members on here that were at their end with everything and wanted to just throw in the towel but they were really happy that they toughed it out a little longer. To each their own though, like I said...idk much about being in past your time. I know I'd be really antsy myself...hell I'm antsy right now and I'm only 3 months into the process.
@Dr_DeJesus13
Based on your username, is it safe to assume your a medic? If so, medics receive different handling during the PEB process.

I am not a medic for the Navy. I am simply working on a PhD thus the username.
Yea. I just have some family issues and its hard to be patient. Everything was planned around me getting out at my EAOS. I have another job lined up. This is just getting frustrating. I at least want to know if I was found fit or unfit and am still wondering that over five months into the process.
I am sure you're right. Just getting annoyed with this system. No one says anything to you so you stay in the dark the entire time. I spoke to the attorney at the hospital and was told I am able to waive my disability and just separate but am waiting a few weeks longer. If I don't find out I'm unfit by then, I am just getting out.
What is MOL message? I don't think I ever received that.
Idk what it's called for the Navy side of things...I've heard it before but can't remember the acronym...it's your guys' equivalent to our 'Marine Online (MOL)" I searched around on it and under "my messages" there was a new message that said package accepted by PEB...also under my "duty code" (limdu, so on..) it says something like...shit...I can't remember..I'll screenshot it for you. Also, I've read of people going to their Admin and saying they have no way of finding out what's going on with their case and asking admin if there is anything in their system...could be worth a shot...I don't blame you one bit...I'm 3 months in to the process and I already feel at my end with it..in reality it's much longer because you end up being injured for years leading up to the meb/peb then you start the excruciating process...try and hold out for as long as you can, it's depressing either way really..not to be a downer. I hope something happens for you like tomorrow!
Thank you very much. That site would be very helpful to me. I still haven't heard anything. I'm assuming my case is still at PEB and we have now entered October.
Maybe the site is BUPERS (BOL). I wasn't aware you could keep track of the status of a PEB from there, but I'll checkit out.
