This site has provided a good place to vent and get info and hope, and simply pass the time while waiting for pdbr process, i very much appreciate it.
Below is my timeline if it gives anybody any info i am happy.
March of '17, sent in letter that applies to pdbr(i just sent the paper back that i got in the mail, no records or lawyer or anything)
June of '18, Got notification that my discharge was being changed from 10 percent to 30 percent.
Sept of '18, Got orders and went to nearest base to get ID cards
#due to errors in orders being sent to where they need to go at one point i was taken off of pdrl, i called "AL" from the
army and he helped me get back and i had to go back to deers to get this fixed for tricare and such
next 3 months were a cluster. Be patient, things will get worked out, just be persistent#
Oct of '18, I applied for crsc and was almost immediately denied
#wait to apply for crsc until dfas is all worked out, you need a v.a. waiver in place and dfas can take some time.#
Jan of '19, Sent in form to crsc to re-open my application, dfas finally had my waiver in place.
#since then dfas has been goofing around with stuff.....recently my v.a. waiver was taken off so dfas could pay back
my severance pay that i got(v.a. paid back in 2012). and dfas also said v.a. has no record of me getting paid from
v.a. If this happens to you, call the v.a. and have them inform dfas to fix this, you are wasting time on hold if
you call dfas with this. They will just tell you to have v.a. send them the info.
Mar of '19, Now just waiting on crsc, army guy on phone said it could take 7 months(sometimes longer, sometimes shorter).
Hope this helps people or gives them some idea on the process.
My biggest lesson from this is don't jump the gun, be patient with stuff, sometimes jumping the gun can bugger stuff up, call and be persistent but like i did with crsc now instead of initial application i am in the appeal process just because i didn't wait for dfas to finish before i applied.
