Timeline IDES Fort Bliss

Working recruiting duty having to do everything out of an Army base. Seems that my timeline has been going pretty slow compared to others. Not in a hurry to finish but the hurry up and wait sucks.

28 May- Referred to MEB.
27 Jun- Initial contact with PLEBO (email only, never actually talked to her)
17 Jul- Initial paperwork sent to PLEBO.
24 July- Initial contact with attorney.
4 Aug- Initial contact with MSC.
6 Aug- Initial appt with MSC.
8 Aug- Returned VAF 526EZ
22 Aug-First C&P exam.
27 Aug Last C&P exam.

I elected the IDES process around April 1 2025. And just signed my DA form 199 on the 30th. With the shutdown they are working with a skeleton crew (according to my peblo)so everything is slowed down. Start to finish it’s looking about 8 months.

Update.
