I was involved in a pedestrian-vehicle accident on post while on a 45-day order. An LOD was done confirming it was in the line of duty. The accident shattered the neck of the femur, and it's held together with some nice titanium hardware. I've been on temporary profile for 5 months now with heavy restrictions. I can walk with a cane and I can sit for a while until the hardware hurts. The civilian surgeon who did the operation marked my restrictions as temporary in the last go-round, still waiting to see how it heals (they evac'd me to the nearest civilian trauma center, as the on-post clinic doesn't have an ER). I've been trying to figure out all the different processes...submitted my paperwork to the VA through the DAV, hounded the unit until the LOD was completed. Seems to be 4 or five unrelated paths...the LOD process is disconnected from the Profile process, which is disconnected from the VA, and somewhere the PEB falls in there.
I'm off orders and back trying to do my civilian job. I've got about 4 years to retirement, 2.5 years to my MRD. I'm not sure where to go from here. I don't really want to be 'that guy' hanging on until retirement, especially as a senior leader. And I hate being in limbo about my status. So, in the reserves, how does a PEB get initiated?
