From what USAPDA told me is that your retirement orders, if your on a COAD, will be cut 120 days out from your retirement date.

Ok, cool this makes sense now... I received V1/V3 codes on everything on my 199 and have the "The disability did result from a combat-related injury under the provisions of 26 USC 104 or 10 USC 10216".

That makes sense... Its just frustrating that this process doesnt have a defined outline. It was even a pain in the ass to get my leave approved because they wanted in hand retirement orders... I guess the only question I have now is this... What is the point of method a or b when you are only...

All, I went through an MEB back in 2022 and was found unfit (60% DoD/100% VA) with combat ratings on all my rated 199 conditions. I was approved for a COAD so that I can stay in until I hit 20 years (August 2025). I managed to stumble on RonG thread about "Revision to Concurrent Receipt of...
