What about people outside of my current chain. I've got a couple of O-6's that I used to work for that would write on my behalf in addition to every O-6 in my current chain.

TA This is exactly want I want them to do. How do I make it happen?

Mike, where can I find the paper Snap03 referred to in the "Unfit just because I'm a pilot" thred?

Humira is waiverable for pilots in the Air Force, but methotrexate isn't. I know I can't fly while on MTX, but I can certainly fill an adminstrative role.

Mike, thanks for your questions. I'm on methotrexate and humira. I'm not eligible for TERA because of my Air Force specialty (11S). I would be interested in limited active service, but I don't know if that is an option since I haven't met the FPEB yet.

Bump... You still here Pablo?

Air Force I found out that I was only found unfit for the arthritis. I believe this is because, when my NARSUM was written, I had just started a new medication. The NARSUM was written as if the condition is unstable. I have been on the meds for about 6 months now and have seen improvement...

Just found out that I've been found unfit by the IPEB. I expect to go to the formal board. I've got 15.5 YOS and would like to make it to 20. My contentions are: Polindromic rheumatism (New), GERD/hiatal hernia (New), Ganglion, right wrist (New), Scar, head, wrist (New), Dysphagia (New), Joint...

PEBLO got an email from my case worker today. I am being boarded for Rheumatoid Arthritis. During the C&P, I was diagnosed with moderate PTSD and mild DDD. The IPEB is asking my PCM if she considers the PTSD unfitting. I'm hoping they want to find me fit, but can't if the PTSD is unfitting...

Thanks for the info Bobby. Hope it all works out for you. As a side note, there are many pains sequestration has put on us, but I was pleased when the air show season was cut short. Now, we need to get rid of Tops in Blue.

Sorry to hear about the buffoonery at AFPC, but does it really surprise you? I did talk to my PEBLO today. My case went to the IPEB on 11 June 13. I know I haven't been waiting long, but the PEBLO said to expect it to take 6 weeks for a fit/unfit finding. I'm obviously past that. He also said...

Bobby, How did you find out when the unfit memo was completed?

Warrior, thanks! I think that clarifies it. If retired medically, it should be at the rank/grade held when retired. I've recently been selected for O-4, so it would seem that statute 3 would apply as well if I am retired before being promoted due to medical reasons.

I didn't know that. Thanks for clarifying and for the quick response.

Ranger, thanks for the reply. I don't know how different the Army and AF are when it comes to retirement. As I'm sure you know, the AF hasn't had WO's for a long time. Our regs don't address them. The only reference I've found is that for a LOS retirement at 20 YOS, an officer (I can only...

aviator, Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure if either of those apply to my case. Hopefully, I'll be returned to duty in a non-flying AFSC and I won't have to worry about it. I'm being boarded for palindromic rheumatism...it's an "abortive" form of rheumatoid arthritis. Basically, my immune...

Thanks in advance for any answers. This is a very confusing process. I appreciate the forum existing. Just got notified that I'm entering IDES. I'm an active duty AF O-3E/Pilot. I will hit 15 years of total service next month, but won't hit 10 commissioned years until Jan 2014. If I am...
