I am confused as to why people are not opening their own threads and/or responding to posts from 4-5 years ago.

In order to get some insight or input, you are better served by opening your own thread and giving some background information. Your general question above does not supply enough information to provide any meaningful insight or thoughts about your own situation.

Drew, This is a late welcome, but, welcome to the PEB Forum, nonetheless! I missed your post before now because of a common error for members here. Posting a follow-up question on another person's post means your post will receive limited visibility. It also means that your own issues will not...

The point of being in the combat zone is (as a drone operator or someone in the "kill chain") is to push the issue and make the service state a reason. There are a lot of legal issues and concepts and legal arguments that could come into play when fighting out this issue of whether folks not...

Drone strikes. That might be the issue. Most times, they (meaning the AF) will avoid and deny finding drone strikes/remote viewing as a "Combat Related" stressor. I think this is a very interesting legal issue. It has not been explored/fought out enough, in my opinion. If the PTSD is based...

What was the stressor(s) found by the MEB and/or the PEB (or even the VA) for your PTSD?

What was your ultimate finding? What conditions were unfitting, what was the combined DoD rating, and what was the recommended disposition? I.e., unfit for the following conditions [x,y.z], rated at [n%], and that the member be "[separated][retired]...."

The distinction of "where" a disability was incurred is important for those who are separated vice retired for their disabilities. No tax for separation pay for those who are separated based on unfitting conditions incurred in a combat zone. If retired, the importance of this issue goes away for...

I hope you found this regulation on this site. It has been posted since 2013: https://www.pebforum.com/resources/air-force-instruction-36-3212-physical-evaluation-for-retention-retirement-and-separation.6/ My point is not to be snarky. It is to suggest that most questions and answers are...

If it kills me (which is a possibility) I am going to figure out a chat function with or without voice so I can easily communicate things. The issue is not that complicated and while I am not trying to discourage paying attorneys for advice, I would rather just talk for a few minutes and clear...

I am not sure what you mean that "You can't be put on orders solely for the purpose of IDES...." Yes, you can. It happens all the time. In the Air Force, they term it as MEDCON orders. The other branches have similar processes (with different terminology). But, I just wanted to point out that...

Thanks for posting this. I will update the Resources section with a copy. (Might be a week or so as I have some travel upcoming). Nice catch and thanks for the input!!

No, I don't have an example that I could provide (I have drafted and seen many of these, but, I can't provide them here as they would be attorney work product.) However, it would not be difficult to state what would be ideal or at least helpful in such a statement. Written as either a...
