Good Evening all,
Well, my MEB will now take place on 19 May. Today, my boss got the CC letter to answer the questions asked for completion. This is the way they answered a few that raised some questions to me.
Effect on Unit Mission:
1. Does the member’s medical condition allow him/her to perform all primary in-garrison military duties without restrictions, limitations or work-a-rounds? (are fitness program, formations, part of in-garrison duties)???
2. If the member is not able to perform his/her primary military duties:
a. What duty-related restrictions or limitations are in effect and for how long?
b. Describe the specific duties the member is unable to do because of his/her medical condition.
c. Do you believe the member’s condition(s) will prevent him/her from serving in their primary AFSC in future assignments? If so, how? (They did not answer all of this, fitness was not included???)
3. Has the member’s duty schedule been modified due to his/her medical condition(s) (i.e., limited duty, half days, no shift work, etc.)? If so, how and for how long? (No)
4. Other than medical appointments, approximately how many days of work has the member missed over the past 90 days due to this condition? How much of this time was physician-directed? (They said no even though I am half days at PT 3 days a week)
5. Have you spoken with the Primary Care Manager’s (PCM) regarding the member’s medical condition (including profile recommendation / restrictions, if required)? Do you agree with the PCM’s assessment of the member’s condition(s)? If not, why not? (They answered they have not and do not agree or disagree)
6. Can the member be assigned against an AEF tasking? Do you believe the member could perform his/her primary duties in a OCONUS deployed environment without restrictions, limitations, or work-a-rounds? (no to AEF or deployment)
7. Does the member’s medical condition impact your ability to perform your in-garrison / deployed mission? If so, how? (No impact in-garrison, impact deployed)
Personnel Input:
1. Is the member pending administrative actions or judicial / non-judicial punishment that could result in his/her demotion / dismissal?
2. Is the member planning to separate / retire or has he/she applied to do so?
Commander’s Recommendation:
In your opinion, what would be the optimal outcome for the member, your organization and the needs of the Air Force regarding his/her continued military service? NOTE: Recommending retraining should only be made after the Military Personnel Flight has in fact confirmed the member is eligible to retrain. (Their recommendation was to continue military service in existing AFSC 3S0X1)
I am a bit concerned in the way they answered this. They ultimately are thinking for the benefit of the AF and not my best interests.. What do you think??
