I have been in the process for 3 years now in Georgia....I went to the med stations and they literally have 2 full filing cabinets of people who require MED case decisions. Long, grueling process.
I received a response from the AFBCMR for a claim I filed to be recalled to Active Duty for proper separation via MEB. Long story short, I separated directly into AF Reserve in which they coded me as unfit for duty within 6 months due to migraines. SO I received a package back from AFBCMR...
