So what exactly is the benefit of TERA over the medical retirement. It prolongs an already ridiculously long process so I want to be sure it’s worth it as I’m going to be at that stage in a few weeks. Thanks.Yep I am currently waiting HQMC approval.

Makes sense. I have heard as well that TERA will put you on the permanent retired list right off the bat vice being on the temporary for a while before transitioning to permanent. Do you know if this is true? How long have they told you that your TERA will take to be approved?CRDP is one big reason. The other reason, for my case, is I will be at better retirement percentage under TERA than medical.

What was the average time for your EAS to post on MOL? I signed my findings on December 27th, and I still don’t have a new EAS. I called the number and they said they have not received my index. My peblo is no help either.
I called mmsr and they said that it’s “awaiting PEB action” ... my peblo is just telling me to wait it outMine posted in about 2 weeks, but I talked to MMSR this past week, they are having some system issues. That might be why yours hasn't posted yet.
I was told the same thing on Thursday but I only signed my letter on the 10th.I called mmsr and they said that it’s “awaiting PEB action” ... my peblo is just telling me to wait it out
I submitted my TERA request but my I-I is unwilling to sign it unless I have HQMC push my EAS date back 3-4 months.
