What duties do most of you have during the process?

It is difficult to find applicable workloads without interferring with my profile. I've been going through the process for 8 months but when you factor the 12 months of profile before that...My leadership never recommends WTU, not that it matters much. Does your unit give you a hard time?

The hard time for me usually comes from me.
I am limited 4 hour duty days, no official duties anymore and just try to interject my opinion of dec/award/epr packages since I am the best writer in the section and I also help the troops with the "harder" technical problems when I can. other than that I do nothing except BS all day.
 
No change in duties, hours, etc. My doc recommended part time work, my CoC stated we are Soldiers 24/7 so I was limited to 12 hours per day and told to get back to work. No consideration what so ever.
 
From the point I was found unfit I officially didn't have any duties.. I was assigned to a section where my MOS wasn't needed and the only thing I was responsible to do was go to my appointments and keep my section sergeant updated. I went and got a profile where my workday didn't start before 0800 due to my nightly sleep meds so I haven't been to morning accountability formation since last December.
 
I attempted to do as much as I possibly could while going through the process. I was still a team leader, still counseled "my kids" (Soldiers), took them to the board, I was the designated trainer for my company/platoon on specialized equipment, went to the field and did RTO duties.... I did many things that I shouldn't have, and don't regret it one bit! My leadership loved that I stuck with it the best I could. Oh! and I just found out that 4 of my 5 "kids" have been promoted to E-5!!! I am so proud of them!!!

Indeed, congratulations! Once a good leader; always a better teacher in my opinion! ;)

To that extent, great job in that I commend your gallant efforts to assist the soldiers (e.g., current/former military service members) as you are continuing to do today in spite of your medical conditions with their associated challenges! :)

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

Best Wishes!
 
My duties haven't changed. They just allow me to walk in circles around the PT field while they're doing PT. That's the only difference.
 
I'm only allowed to email check in daily. Face to face check in weekly. Other than that I go to my medical appointments.
 
I was a commander, so my duties remained unchanged. Sure wish I had the chance to throttle back a bit before I retired, it was like I went from sprinting to an almost dead standstill once I became a "Mr." again.:(
 
Went from being an active military police officer doing pt daily etc 12 hrs shifts. Now I am on 8s doing limited admin work.
 
My duties were not to get injured any more and shred paper lol Also be in charge of anyone else broken
 
I was a vehicle mechanic but now I sit at a desk all day and read things on the internet. It is pretty boring. I have no responsibility other than to be here 8 hours a day and to wait for the IDES process to creep along at a snail's pace...
 
I was placed in BN S-3 as the Schools NCO until I got my Ratings back.
 
I worked as OPSEC Officer, a Security Manager, BN USR Officer, A/S1 ....made it for me, A/S2 (because I was MI branch detailed IN), and Legal Assistant...due to ours getting a DUI.....

Desk job is the best thing. Then you can have time to start looking into your future, possibly obtaining an internship as long as your command approves it since you do not have to be in WTU to do this.


Edit***

I forgot to mention that once you have your unfit letter, you can go to VocRehab for schooling if your command allows it or you want this. I was able to start my graduate school while I was in the Army still so that I was not wasting my time and so that my life can continue on right away. The only catch is that you will not get your monthly stipend since you are still currently working. Pros and cons.
