Hello,
I'm an active duty USAF Staff Sergeant who just received an updated profile on 26 Jan 14 that stated I was now facing a pending MEB/PEB. Since it was issued from my psychiatrist, I'm assuming it is for my depression, anxiety disorder, and PTSD that I got while I was deployed to Afghanistan last year. The odd thing is that the last time I spoke to my doctor about this, he told me that he was not going to be recommending me for MEB/PEB because I was treatable, and as far as I know, there has been no change in my diagnosis.
While I'm okay with separating from the Air Force, this has completely blindsided me. I'm likely going to lose my next assignment as well, as I was slated to PCS in April. I have no idea what is going on, and to be honest, I'm a little confused about the regulation. It also doesn't help that my doctor has not been in contact with me at all, even though I've been trying to get a hold of him. I'm hoping someone here can provide me a timeline of events that I can expect to come down the pipe in the near future.
Thank you, I appreciate any and all help.
