I'm looking to compile information into one place about the PEB voting process, as there's a lot of conflicting information out there. Here's what I've complied so far:
1) 3 Person Board, consisting of 1 Line Officer (I'm guessing for service impact determinations?), 1 medical professional (agree or disagree with MEBAA?) and presiding officer that acts as a tiebreaker if needed.
2) Service impacts are considered. Potentially, there's communications on if someone would be mandatory retainable for any positions via the various personnel management commands?
3) The packages are reviewed individually and determinations based upon the role of the board member are made.
4) The timelines vary SIGNIFICANTLY from a couple days to multiple months, but the leanings are, the longer you are in review, the higher chance you'll be found UNFIT
So far, that's what I've found.
So, if you hear "You're at vote 1", that's the medical impact. "You're at vote 2", that's the service impact, and if they both agree, then a majority consensus is reached. If a 3rd vote is needed, then it's not necessarily medically determined, but the presiding officer will determine if it is feasible to continue service as it stands, the commanders impact statement (NMA) and Personal statements are taken into account. Regardless of the way the first two vote, the 3rd is still an independent review and QA check of the other two.
If I'm off on any of this, please add to the knowledge base as all of this is cobbled together as best I can determine from about 40 different sources.
