Hello everyone, I am looking for advice on my current situation
Last October I received a GOMOR for being black out drunk at our Brigade ball and making a sexually Lewd comment to a senior NCO's date. I was given an administrative GOMOR in my OMPF. Since then I have completed ASAP, gone to AA, and done marriage counseling. I have been retained and have not been notified of a show cause board yet. I was able to finish command and was given a middle of the road OER. This year is my Below the Zone look for Major so I am fully anticipating a Show Cause Board. I understand during the board they look for officers to recommend for show cause. My BZ board starts in July.
In January I had to undergo surgery on my left foot due to arthritic pain and loss of cartilage. I was planning on getting this Surgery after command long before this event happened as I could barley walk most days and I understood it would end my career. I have been in the Infantry for 13 years.They fused my foot together completely leaving me only minimal up and down movement and have two plates in my foot. I have been accepted into the MEB processes on my wife's advice since I just wanted to REFRAD. The process should take about 6-9 months.
My question may be kind of implied but should I expect a show cause board and if so, based on anyone's experience, what are the chances of me being able to fight it and be able to medically retire? i understand a administrative separation supersedes a MED Board. I have deployed 3 times as an Infantry Officer, I have had outstanding OERs until this event happened. I have done everything the Army has asked of me, I just don't want this mistake to ruin everything.
Any advice or personal experience would be greatly appreciated
