Jason Perry

Hello sir,
I understand you are very busy and want to first off thank you for creating this site and taking the time to read this. It's good to know that there are people out there to help soldiers such as myself. I recently wrote out my current situation and blogged it on to three seperate pages. I havent had any feed back except one which explained that it would be best to contact you and to get your opinion on the matter. I understand a man of your stature has limited if any time to go through invidual base by base concerns but I've read up on some of the work you've done and would think some one with your back round and credentials would best be able to address my problem. If you get a moment please do and I would be greatful in any feedback you can provide. I've been bounced around for over two years and am in dyer need of advice. Again I appreciate your time in this matter.

Well no chapter. I have been given 70% on the TDRL and I will be out soon. I think the VA will pay me more then my Army pension so I want to go with that. My orders still say PV1 though. I thought I would get the highest rank I had back. No rank determination board was mentiond. Will that happen after a final determination is made and I am off TDRL?

I had a disectomy on my vertabra L4-L5 in 2000 and joined the military 4 years later in 2004. In June 2009 i had a Fusion of L5-S1, will this affect the possibility of being medically retired if i get put on an MEB??

Jason- when i try to send you a private message it says I cannot access it. Bottom line, if you get this, I would like to talk to you about legal representation. Thanks

Jason,

Well I talked to legal today. They told me to wait until the actual admin sep package comes to me before they can do anything for me. In the page 11 it says Administrative Separation for "Unsatisfactory Performance of Duties" per para 6206 of MCO P1900.16. So, the lawyer said today based on how the CO wrote this up they can still process the ad sep.

I am at my wits end right now. I have served my country and the Corps, was wounded and now they want to admin sep me! I just want to get treatment and go thru with the MEB/PEB, but if a admin sep goes thru before that it just feels wrong.

Thanks for letting me rant! Again thanks soo much for your help. God bless you!

USMC2000,

Glad to help! From the facts you stated, there is no way you should be separated without an MEB/PEB. However, I have seen many members have their cases wrongly decided and have seen commands make errors. If your discussion with legal officer and/or command did not derail the admin sep (sounds like the case due to the page 11 entry), then you are in the position of fighting out this point.

The good news? I think its clear that you win the long run. Bad news, it may be a fight. You can talk to a JAG at base legal. Sometimes you find someone who is great and experienced and they can help sort this out. Othertimes, you don't, and then you may be somewhat without effective help. Senators, in my experience, usually don't do much to impact a case, but there are exceptions. If you have a PEBLO, you may want to discuss with them as sometimes they can clarify for a command, too.

Hope all goes your way!

I wanted to take a minute and say thanks for your help a couple of days ago. Today i received a page 11 entry saying that my unit is processing a admin sep on me. As I said last time I am currently on limited duty pending a med board. My CO and legal officer didn't know if the limited duty would affect the admin sep or not. According to your last message to me, the med board would trump a the admin sep. Can they still run the admin sep if I'm on lim duty? If not who can I talk to? Legal? Senators? Thanks for your help!

Well its all over now. My MEB has been forwarded to the PEB and my 1SG dropped the chapter packet. Thats the good news. I did receive an Article 15 and my rank has been reduced to E-1. I was now wondering if the roomers I hear about restoration of your highest rank are true. I have just over 2 years in and I have heard that you retire with the highest rank you held for 36 months. I have not held any one rank for that long or even been in the army that long. Given that what is the foreseeable outcome?

P.S. Sorry I took so long to respond, a lot has been going on.

HOW CAN I GET SOCIAL SECURITY,I TRY IT BUT FAIL, THEY THAT MY CONDITION

HELLO MR JASON REMEMBER ME, WELL I WANT ASK YOU , YOU HELP ME FIRST TIME WHEN I ENTER THIS FORUM, AND AT THIS TIME MY LOD IS STILL IN A OFFICE

I got put on pdrl for hyperthyroidism at 30% and 30% from the va as well. I had an appointment and the va said i still had a thyroid problem, but it wasnt as bad as it was when i got the original discharge, so the va wants to take the 30% from me. will this effect my pdrl pay?

Do you help vets with cases? As I was reading some place on this web site you had posted some court cases, where can I find those again? How can a lay person (like myself), google case that might help me? Thanks and have a merry christmas and a happy new years. Also, you never did answer my question about something I wanted to email you about my case.

Yes, I am.

Jason are you a lawyer?

Jason - Seems like you have a lot of insight into the MEB/PEB and Board of Correction. I would like to email you something that may be interesting for my case. Thanks

Jason, Undergoing MEB i had a blood clot in my liver my portal vein had a DVT and in turn had splenomegally. They found out i had a protein C deficiency and put me on life long Lovenox shots in my abdomen. i just had a tubal pregnancy and they had to do surgery and take out my tube due to my lovenox i couldnt take the shot because i would of hemorraged to death,specialty pay due to a needed organ. Would i be medically retired due to a DVT in the past year and how much or bc i had to have surgery instead of a shot? Also, VA wise i have had knee problems sinuses problems/infections and shingles on and off for 2 years sy have a problem with my immune system now but alot of my labs are weird to them. I work inside the clinic here at Pope AFB so i get a just of it...I am just curious if they are going to medically retire me and what kind of VA comp i would look at for something like that. They submitted it in Sept, still waiting an answer. Lovenox makes me drowsy/sore abdomen

Jason,
I have finished my MEB and I am awaiting my narsum. I have Dissociative Personality Disorder and in a Dissociative state used marijuana and popped hot on a UA. My unit command wants to stop my MEB and chapter me out on a chap 14. Can they do this? Im worried that I will be chaptered out and not get the benefits I need to get better.

Hey, Jason!
I emailed you everything you asked for, but I have not heard back from you. I am having even more trouble this week with them than last. I can't tell you how many conflicting stories I have heard. Please help!

Jason,

I've read the NGR 600-200, which states that a Soldier does not have to have a specific number of years in service to transfer to the Retired Reserves...I'm trying to get a handle on WHY a SM would want to transfer at all. It's a mystery to me, and the reg tells me nothing.

Any ideas?

Thanks for the add! You've been a great help.
