I was wondering if anyone has run into this situation and has some feedback.... I was medically retired due to combat related disability after 20 years and placed on TDRL with a reeval after 6 months. I signed a selective retention bonus (SRB) for 6 annual installments 3 years before I could no...

So I final'd out on OCT 1st early in the morning and then everything shutdown the same afternoon. I already had my orders and amendments before all the furloughs.

I had 70% that was a combination of all my mental health and TBI related stuff.

its 90 days from the day you hit the transition list. You can put in a par after all your leave forms are approved to extend that date in order to take all of your accrued leave if needed

When did you sign your NARSUM and when were you found "unfit" by the PEB?
