Sheppard AFB Peblo Problems

Since 2 October 2020 I emailed and tried to call my Peblo several times with out an answer. (the number I had for him was no longer working) Finally, around 4 Dec I went back thru emails and found out who he CC'd on his emails. I emailed her and turns out this guy has been sitting on my case for 2 months, not working it at all. It sat and collected dust. The suspense AFPC gave him was October 2020. Long story short, he was fired (well, sounds like it was more of an option to quit rather than be fired.) This guy has messed with several people's careers/retirements all the way back to Feb 2020. To make it worse, this idiot was retired military. Its an outrage and I'm glad he is gone. So much for 180 day timeline....Anyone else at Sheppard experience this?

So, with that, my case is going to the local board this week, and then off to AFPC hopefully by Friday. The peblo who has taken his cases communicates with me often to give updates. However her work load has doubled now so she's working cases that are even older than mine. So here's where I stand today:

23 Sept 2019 Referred for MEB
4 Aug 2020 finally hear back - Full MEB IDES timeline begins
7 Aug 2020 - Commander signs letter "Do Not Retain"
17 & 18 Sept- C&P Exams Mental health/ X-rays/Physical
2 October 2020 - VA closes claim and I assume it is sent to local MEB
11 Jan 2021 - sent to local board (possibly, I think I'll know more by the end of the day)
 
Look at it this way, your 36 month pay average has increased for separation/retirement pay because of his ineptness. Sorry your MEB has been delayed so long. Good luck to you.
 
Mine was slow out of SAFB, but I was not pushing. I had promoted around 18 months prior to the precipitating event. So I wanted the process to last 18 months.

Do you have any updates to your timeline (if you do not mind sharing)? I have a meeting with my PEBLO tomorrow and they stated my "local board" has been put together and they need to discuss everything with me. So, I am trying to figure out if this means my findings and ratings will be told to me tomorrow. Thanks!

Are you here at Sheppard? This is my current situation...local board completed January 22. My package sent to IPEB 26 January. Received email from AFPC on Friday that IPEB returned my AF Form 356 for review/signature. But GUESS WHAT? MY FUCKING PEBLO QUIT! And she quit on fuckin Thursday! So now there is not a single PEBLO on this base, and no one that can access the systems that AFPC uses to send these forms. So AGAIN, here I sit waiting on this incompetent office to get their shit together so that I can fucking finally retire.

Sorry...I'm a bit frustrated over here....so..if you're not on sheppard..your stuff will move a million times faster than mine....

No worries on venting your frustration. I am in GA, but I just signed my 618, the VA has my proposed ratings already, so I am hoping I will get my final results within the next two weeks so I can be done with this tedious process. Have you been able to figure anything out on your end? I sure hope so.

Nothing yet, I've contacted my supervision, Med group Supervision, and the office of disability counsel. The only one I've heard back from were the ODC. They said yesterday that the IPEB will send me my paperwork directly, but i haven't seen anything yet. No one around here is helpful at all.

Finally got an answer!!!! Permanent retirement 100% VA. Just waiting for the official retirement date now! So glad to be moving forward!
