From what I have heard a congressional slows everything down for you. My VA rep in Seattle told me to spread the word not to do it. I'm at 270 days so you have a while to go. Where ever your packet is they have to stop work on it and find it.

yes and others cases as well


Foardj, please read this below that I previously posted awhile back.

I previously worked at the VA, and I would say 95% of the employees I worked with, really care about taking care of Veterans. The VA system itself is overwhelmed in many of the states, by the mass amount of Veterans.
Yes, there is that 5% of incompetent folks that work in the VA, that might misplace a file, or sit behind the desk and play solitaire. That 5% is the disgrace.
The reason and the facts why it seems to take so long. Example;
The Army alone as almost 30,000(FY 2013) wounded, ill or injured soldiers in the Integrated Disability Evaluation System.
There is a lot of fraud in the VA system. Some it is from other Veterans submitting erroneous documents and claims and even folks who have never even served in the military. There are folks out there, claiming they served in our past wars(Vietnam, WWII) and "their" records were burned up in the 1973 Fire at the National Personnel Records Center (St. Louis, MO).
One Veteran may have a file that consist of 2,000 pages of documents.
How long do you think it will take to validate the service connection of a Veteran with 2,000 pages with a Disability, Injury, Illness, Disease, etc..? Do you really want them to rush our medical files and papers across their desk along with our ratings?
Please read this article, but ignore the negative comments.

Quick update. Ratings were completed Feb 19th, Signed DA 199 on 24 February. 40% DOD / 70% VA

Just waiting on hitting TRANSPROC now and orders getting cut. Luckily Drum is printing orders as soon as you hit the list now, so its relatively quick..

I went in around 1400 and found my peblo she informed me I hit transpoc in the morning. She said she didn't call cause it doesn't really matter until they complete my packet. To me it does matter helps level out the anxiety that I have. Hopefully soon for all of us this process ends so we can move on with out lives.

Congratulations! :)

Indeed, as so did I receive a call yesterday morning, too! ;)

Thus, I quite often comment that "possessing well-informed knowledge is truly a powerful equalizer."

Best Wishes!
 
All right! Who says that patience doesn't pay off at the end of the day? ;)

As such, I received a telephone call from the military RSO yesterday morning stating that the TRANSPOC-III message was completed and she can see all of the "lovely" military disability retirement information required to generate the forthcoming DD 214 and official military orders for placement onto the TDRL! :D

Outstanding; this is simply outstanding news at this point in time for sure! Hmm, the DoD IDES process is now "over and done" as far as I am concerned! :cool:

Thus, I quite often comment that "possessing well-informed knowledge is truly a powerful equalizer."

Best Wishes!

Indeed, it's only a matter of time at this point; my good buddy! ;)

To that extent, patience indeed yields favorable results at the end of the day! :cool:

UPDATE#1:

Indeed, I forgot to mention that my last day on Active Duty within the U.S. military giving 32+ years of dedicated federal service shall officially terminate on 26 May 2014 with placement onto the military TDRL on 27 May 2014!

Oooh happy day! Oh happy day! Oooh happy day for sure! :D

Congratulations!!! It nice starting to finally have some closer. I just have to wait for my counseling form and packet? Then I get my orders. Not sure how long this takes but I hope I'm done next week.

I guess we all hit Transproc yesterday , so none of you guys had to go to a Transproc brief? I did mine yesterday in the morning and turned everything in for my packet to transition in the afternoon for them to generate my orders. Maybe it's different at every post, who knows

I am sure that its different at every post. The only way I found out is because I went in to see my peblo and I could tell that she was annoyed with me wanting to know. She then told me that the reason she didn't call was because it doesn't really matter to me at this part. What matters is when my COC receives my packet. I am happy that you have a motivated group working on your orders. Hopefully you are out soon.
 
you guys are all lucky. I haven't herd anything from my Peblo or COC. Called and emailed my Peblo no response. I signed my 199 on the 12th of Feb. Hopefully i was on the same list as you guys. Hopefully my COC will notify me within the Next day or two that they have my packet.

I singed my 199 on the 11th and found out yesterday because I went to see the peblo. If anything you "should" be on transpoc today?
 
Called the Seattle office today and the lady on the phone said my ratings where done and that she could not tell me what they where. The only thing is on ebenefits it still says pending decision approval. I am just waiting on word back from my peblo i hope she wasnt blowing smoke up my a@@.
 
For anyone on this forum, understand that you don't have to wait on hearing for your PEBLO for TRANSPOC, if you have signed your 199 just contact your Transitions/Retirement Office daily and they can tell you
