February 14, 2019: Med Board initiated.
March 30, 2019: VA Exams completed and submitted.
May 1, 2019: NARSUM completed and package sent off to DOD.
May 20, 2019: PEB Help Desk informed me package was with Presiding Officer
May 23, 2019: PEB Help Desk informed me package was being prepared to be sent to the VA, however, my PEBLO said he doesn't not see any updates on his end.
May 31, 2019: Unable to get a hold of PEB Help Desk, and PEBLO said he still does not see any updates on his end.
So, now I'm stuck in the same waiting game as most everyone else is. When I spoke to the person in D.C. at the PEB Help Desk and she told me that my package was being prepared to be forwarded to the VA, I asked "So, does that mean I was found UNFIT?" and she replied "Well, I can't confirm that because the only information I have access to shows me only that it is being sent to the VA, but I've never seen one sent to them without being UNFIT, otherwise it would be closed out and sent back to your command." Anyone else experience this delay between the Board finding you unfit and your PEBLO being notified? I want to believe the lady I spoke with at the Help Desk, but I can't fully breathe a sigh of relief until I hear it from my PEBLO. Thanks for reading and I appreciate any and all feedback
