    Timeline and question

    How long did it take until the MSC contacted you? I was entered into the DES back in December and didn't have anyone contact me until I walked to their office Jan 25th and asked what was happening and why has it been over a month.

    Expedite Memo

    I wish that were true. But my command has a gapped ombudsman billet and I was never hospitalized for my injury and never given a casemanager. I'm on a base where the clinic is slightly bigger than the local 7-11 and the nearest MTF is 3 hours down the road. I just need to speak to a different...
