Rog, and copy all. I was just curious as to why. I have read what you stated and have been splitting hairs with this. Dont forget to add to the retired O5 Medic the fact that he trains Medical Service Providers, the ones that evaluate our claims in the MEB/PEB phase... lol! Again, thank you...

So you say don't choose LDES, but the retired O5 Medic who also now trains MSCs (and one of the folks who's advice I followed that got me 100% P&T) tells me to file LDES (I also sent him my VA explanation of benefits,the CIS, and the form 4 I attached here). I've been dealing with him for 5...

Man, reading all of this doesn't give me hope at all! I definitely appreciate all of the stories and the candor here. This information obviously helps and will help lots of veterans. So my story (I'll try to be short)- 48 years of age, 29 years all Louisiana Air Guard, prior 'E' O-5, multiple...

Brother, first off, thank you for posting your plight here. I am an Air National Guard with 29 years of service (all Air Guard) with several deployments to include Iraq and Afghanistan. I started the medical retirement process back around March of 2023 and finally received an FL4 11 March 2024...

Let me state this up front: you are probably 'wicked smaht' on this than I am, so I abdicate to you. I found out last week that my paperwork has been sent to NGB for a 'PSC' process. Again, this is all so confusing for me so I try to take the information in small, bite-sized chunks for my tiny...

I'm sorry for the delay. No, I don't know. From what I was told today, my NARSUM shows "not in the Line of Duty, not due to member's misconduct" and Medical sent it to NGB for Prior Service Connection. Someone else very familiar with the process told me that was a great thing. That gave me the...

That's very good on all fronts, brother. Yes, only you can and should be a strong advocate for yourself, regardless what anyone else says.

Hello, fellow airman. I'm in the Air Guard in Louisiana with over 28 years of service. I'm a DSG as well and been a federal technician for 6 years (plus 5 years of prior federal service). I enlisted as an E1 and now an O5. I've no active duty time but been deployed several times to include Iraq...

What happens if the applicant is already rated 100% P&T from the VA? The applicant didn't go the LDES route and took the long route. Thanks in advance.

I'm sorry for replying so late. I will answer your questions: 1. I didn't have LODs, only multiple contingency (i.e. 'combat') deployments to places including Iraq and Afghanistan 2. I went to my medical folks and told them that I'd like to pursue the military medical retirement route. They sent...

Good Day, people. I'm just getting started in my IDES process. I'm 47 years old, have 28+ years in the Air National Guard (E1 to O5) and have deployed to many places including Iraq and Afghanistan. I'm also a federal technician and have been in the federal system for 11 years currently. I have...
