Yeah sorry I was slacking on updating. Signed my Da199 6Feb (Friday) Had my discharge message and PDIR first thing Monday morning on the 9th, Orders by 13 Feb Final out and terminal leave 23 Feb 20 April retirement date

Correct. Honestly, if you’re not worried about having Tricare it can be a pretty good amount of money to leave with depending on your rank/ time in service. It can be a nice cushion to basically start over with. For me, I prefer the tricare because I have a family and my VA rating for unfitting...

Is this 30-45 days after VA proposed rating?

Any update on this?

I am in the same stage as you. It’s really just a waiting game even more at this point. the PEB has been taking about 30 days to get the DA199 back as of lately is what I was told but I know a lot of people that have gotten it much quicker
