Pretty good pace so far...

Awesome on the 356! I received my orders from my PEBLO. That 45 days will fly, trust me. Good luck, let me know how thing progress.
Have you done a VA Exit Interview? If so, what is it all about? Got mine scheduled for next Wednesday.

All my VA rep did was go over my VA benefits and had me fill out a dependents form, bring in birth certificates and SS cards for my dependents and my marriage certificate. At that time, you can also apply for voc rehab if you plan on doing that.
 
Hey Aviator, just caught up on your thread! Congrats and you have a well deserved 100%/100%, thank you for all the flying you did for our brothers and sisters and I hope your future as a civilain is going to be lived to the fullest!!!

I don't have my orders but my vMPF updated that I have a projected assignment from my base to my base with a RNLTD of 29 Dec 2012. Is that safe to assume that is my retirement date?

Thanks grizz, and thank you as well. I'm sure you will be prosperous in your post-military life. I'll keep pinging here after I'm done, hope to see you do the same.;)

firedawg, good to see that everything has come together for you as well! :)
 
Congrats to both of you. I am still hoping for an early Thanksgiving present (a corrected 199)...
 
Did you get any words on this yet eagle?

Not yet. I am hoping that I will hear today. The president of the PEB received it, for signature, last Monday. I am hoping that it got sent to the PEBLO this weekend.
 
Status hasn't changed. 199 still waiting on a signature. My soap opera continues...
 
Ok, two questions:
1. How long are orders taking? I've been waiting two weeks now and my PEBLO has been hounding my case manager and all my case manager keeps saying is I'll have them done by Thanksgiving and now its the end of this week.

2. How do I make sure my dependents are reflected with the VA?
I did my out brief last Wed and all they did wsa make sure I understood my ratings. Nothing was asked about my dependents.
Thanks!!!
 
Outstanding and Congrats. Good luck to the you in the future.

First, congrats! As for dependents, you should have had a meeting with your VA MSC to final out, at which point he/she has you fill out a form listing your dependents. You also have to bring in SS cards, birth and marriage certificates.
