Oh, that sucks! Did you get E-7 back? I meet my promotion board at the end of this year.I was administratively demoted from E-7 to E-6 for fitness failures. Demotion action was started during the MEB process.
Good to hear!I did!
I did!
I still don't know the answer to my question above since I was told that there would not be a grade determination on my case and then surprise, there is one.
I signed my 356/ratings 31Aug. I waited for orders until 18Sep when I was told that my case was being held up since I was being put in for a grade determination. I wasn't too worried after reading this thread, but now it has been over a month and I haven't heard about the results.
Has anyone else had one fairly recently? I got impatient and called AFPC and was told they were waiting on EPRs but the PEBLO says it has been sent. I know we all enjoy the unknown, but is there any way to check on the issue? I have been dealing with this IDES process since summer 2015 (without any rebuttals on my end because I just want to be done) and I'm crushed knowing I had an end date, and now I am back to not knowing anything.
I was hoping to just avoid the whole thing since it has no effect on the rest of my life. I'm still waiting to hear back. I was hoping mine would be quick like yours, but I haven't heard anything yet.
So another question for you since you may know, did you get to "choose" your final out timeframe again after you heard about the outcome of the grade determination? I filled mine out when I signed the 356 but that date has come and gone over 2 weeks ago and I do not want to stay here for 30 more days (I want to outprocess in as little time as they allow me to).
Is there any benefit to getting a grade determination? For example, I am up for promotion and the AF announced 100% promo if you don't have to compete (Officer) which I don't. Is there any benefit in my requesting a grade determination? Is there more pay?
So I signed for my ratings and final out date time frame 31Aug...16Oct and still waiting on this (quite useless) grade determination. Does anyone know of a way to find out if they even received the paperwork they need to do this? I asked my PEBLO and she keeps giving me the 6-8 week line, but I am seeing about 2 weeks on this thread. =(
