I am Air Force, currently active duty with just shy of 8 years of service (TAFSC). I am getting MEB’ed for a congenital heart condition that I was unaware of prior to my service. In April, the FPEB opined that because my condition existed prior to service, that I should be separated with 0 percent disability, not even severance. I appealed to the SECAF (just got the results back) they upheld the results of the FPEB, recommending separation with 0 percent disability.
The thing is, I hit my 8 year mark on 12 December of this year. I should have enough out-processing time/PTDY and terminal leave days to carry me well past 12 December. As of today, they havent started out processing me yet. Does anyone know how the Air Force applies the 8 year rule in cases like this? Do I need to try some serious stall tactics to make sure that I am still on active duty on December 12?
