Question

I was told by my lawyer a lot. That's why if you don't agree with it, you should meet with your commander and have it changed before youhave the PEBLO turn it in.
 
my spouse's commander wrote a terrible letter about him regarding his conditions and duty performance in efforts to try to limit the amount of retirement he may receive because the commander dislikes him, however in turn, the letter helped him prove his case....so I can see that a commanders letter could go either way, just depends on each specific case.

Someone familiar with writing commanders letters will have expected results. A poorly written one will have unexpected results.
 
I spoke with my PEBLO regarding the Commander's letter at the beginning of my MEB. The Commander's letter has a lot of influence on your packet. It is best to work with your Commander to try to support what you desire as the outcome of your MEB. I wanted discharged, so I worked with my CO to word it as such. If you want to stay in, try to have the letter worded to show that you are capable of still being of great benefit to the military despite your current limitations. All assuming, of course, your Commander is willing to work with you. If not, you really don't have much choice in the matter unfortunately.

I have a good Commander's letter that I wrote for my CO. If you would like to see how it is worded, PM me. Best of luck!
