Hello everyone,
My spouse is currently an Air Force member, stationed at a Navy base overseas. He has been recently diagnosed with a rare medical disorder (Myasthenia Gravis), among many other medical conditions. He has been medevac'd back and forth to another military installation in theater because the doctors at his base cannot treat him. All of his physicians (different military branches) have recommended that he be stationed back CONUS to initiate an MEB, but his host Air Force base (where he is not stationed) wants to initate the MEB overseas. Unfortunately, if the MEB is initated overseas, we will have to remain here until it's over (which can take months, as you all know). Meanwhile, my husband is unable to be treated and his condition is getting worse and worse. Is there anything we can do to initiate a medical PCS, and start the MEB process in the States?? That way, he'll be able to receive the medical care he needs. This situation is VERY stressful!!
