Good Afternoon All;
I am a Active duty SGT in the Army, been serving for the past 4 years. Last year while at another installation, I was started having issues with a knee, which lead to a plica removal. In addition, I was diagnosed with an AVM, which cause a seizure disorder and had an emergency hysterectomy. Yes, all in the same year. The plica removal never solved the knee issue, which has now been diagnosed as mild/moderate "Chondromalacia". The AVM is stable for now, but I am currently taking anti-seizure medications for the "epilepsy" and let's say the emergency hysterectomy didn't go well and I had to have to more 2 emergency procedures to correct the problem. ALL IN ALL I have had temporary after temporary profiles, even for the epilepsy. I thought that gotten over the hump and no one even thought about referral to MEB.
Now, I have PCS'd to a new installation, I requested to see the neurologist to continue the care for the "epilepsy". No new seizures after medications were added to a daily regiment, mind you. The PCM making the referral for neurology took one look at the previous notes and flipped. AUTOMATIC MEB referral. Now, I am not upset about the process, I guess that physician had to do what they had to do .?. But, now I am in the middle of reclassing to an exciting MOS and was told that I would miss a lot of time from school because of the MEB process (VA appointments) which will probably cause me to fail the course.
Not only that, I have been given a P3 for a condition (seizures) that I should have been give a P3 for a year ago, per regulations. I was only given repeated T3's. I have not seen any standard regs regarding the AVMs and I have a P2 for the chondromalacia. I am frustrated about process at this point, because even though I may be "returned to duty" ... I may be affected with reclassification. I am unsure of where to go or what to do.
Everyone is saying wait the process out but I may not have that kind of time according to the school officials. I just want to finish school... Is this going to be a lengthy process so that I may possibly finish school, I still have about 7 -8 months to go? Everything that I have read states 6 months or less.
