Hi everyone,
I've been in the Air Force for 4 1/2 years now and in September I started the medboard process. I was referred for asthma and mental health (depression, anxiety, and panic disorder without agoraphobia). I finally just finished my last VA exam on Dec 22 so now I'm just waiting on the determination of being fit/unfit and I guess the disability ratings. ( I also was evaluated for GERD, back pain, sinusitis, and tinnitus). I work as a respiratory therapist in the AF, but since June, I have just been working as an admin at a computer because I have so many profiles that don't allow me to perform patient care or any of my tasks as an RT. I have also been on a PT profile for 3 years for not being able to perform pushups, situps and the 1 1/2 mile run. Anyways, I'm trying to plan out my life but I can't until I know if I've been found unfit or not. I want to be found unfit so I can pursue what I want in life. Do you all have any recommendations on how much longer this process will take and if I will be found fit/unfit? I'm hoping to be out around March/April. Thank you for reading and have a happy new year!
