Retirement Approved

Hi DHFrack!

It took 4 months for the Army to give me my orders. Did you just get one letter in your notification? No paperwork saying to provide that to DEERS to enroll?

I got it the end of August, I spoke with Ms Nolan at Army Corrections last week she had my signed recommendation and said she was working on it this week, had to notify DFAS and DEERS and that if I hadn't gotten anything within the next 20 days to call her back.

Here's to progress!!!!
 
I hear the Army can take a while. Have you filled out your SBP paperwork?

SBP?
(The answer will still be NO, I havent gotten anything other than the notice that I had been re-characterized to PDRL)
 
So awesome for you and your family! Congrats! I'm at two years and they just finally sent mine up for final review THEN sent to branch. lol so I guess I find another hobby for another eight months.
 
I applied July 2014. My case went into adjudication January 6th, 2016. It was forwarded to the Navy sometime in July 2016. Approval decision was sent to me from them September 29, 2016.

Please make sure whatever you do, that you update your contact iinformation EVERY TIME it changes. It's ABSOLUTELY HELL getting to the right place to find out what decision was made if your paperwork is sent to the incorrect address like mine was.

I'm extremely happy about what this means for my family and I. I really do wish the same for all of you. Don't be fooled though. They have found a way to give us what we want and screw us anyway. All this retroactive pay that's continually discussed, is almost non exsistant. However that's a topic for another conversation.

If you are Navy I do have a contact phone number to call and they will tell you your status once it has been released from the PDBR. Please don't call them unless you know your case has left the PDBR and went to the NAVY. The number is 202-685-6408 Ask for the PEB.


I hope this helps someone the way I was helped. Thank you @Keebs for sharing all your knowledge with me and not allowing me to be discouraged over the last few days. I almost lost it trying to find out about my case.

Have FAITH!!! Be Blessed Everyone!!

Hi Lyria,

I was told my case was sent to the Navy DDA on 1/31/17 and that they had 45 days to render the final decision. Is this about how long it took for you?

I called the number you listed but got voicemail.. super frustrating :|
