Good evening all,
I have posted in a different forum previously but I felt this is a more specific question that someone might be able to clarify, as I am not getting any clear answers or guidance from my soon-to-be Former legal counsel. After nearly two years, the process still feels as unclear and nebulous as it has been all along.
Injury AUG 2021
MEB FEB 2022
PEB AUG 2023
After assurances that we had the PEB in the bag, we lost ignominiously, In all sincerity, I feel that my legal counsel has lost motivation. At the PEB, it seemed like he was not ready.
It is my own fault that I came to rely solely on what legal advice I received throughout the process. As it is today, my options seem unclear. Thus, my question is one of clarification,
How many more instances / opportunities do I have left for appeal/ reconsideration ?
* After losing the PEB, there is there one chance to appeal. Is there also an opportunity for reconsideration or is that the same thing ?
* If that reconsideration request fails, there is what is called the USPDA, is that correct ?
If that fails, is there something left on the cards, or is that pretty much it ?
I am being completely honest, I am having a really tough time contemplating separation at this point in my career ( and my life). I had made peace accepting the fact that life goes on, the years pass, and we all must come to the end of the road in the military at some point. I just envisioned it being on my terms. Life has a way of changing such things.
I feel like I have squandered the last year, by not being fully prepared for this PEB, after the initial loss at the MEB. I believe that the few chances I have left ( if any) are crucial. At a major crossroads at the moment, and the only one that seems to be losing sleep over it is me. So here I am 0330 PST, up since 1.
My apologies, more of a vent at this point.
