Sideways is the name of this game unfortunately. I Started mine in Dec 2020. About to submit a VARR next week.

I'm in the same boat BUT at LEAST we have this forum to commiserate. Leadership generally doesn't have the bandwidth to be sympathetic/helpful to those of us going through it. The paycheck helps. Look at using some educational benefits or COOL funding for certifications since you have the time.

Have you memorized all of the lines/cracks on the wall yet. When you get there that is only LEVEL 4 of shut up and wait for us to process your board. It keeps going and going after that.

Hey Now, don't go thinking we are put together with this problem set...the AF process is f*cked up too.

Thanks Jason for your message. I have been working this evac from the inside...and it's very stressful with lots of conflicting emotions. I hope your son is doing well. I was wondering if he was still in country. Wishing him and all our brothers and sisters the best as we all navigate this...

You might not have looked earlier in the thread but it wasn't my article. It was used by another member and i took the bait and looked at it and then quoted info in the article. Like the great BOT RON G said...this conversation is everywhere and there is really no end. I'm going to stop...

Directly form the article referenced.

This is lunacy. -However, those that make this choice should be comfortable signing their rights to medical care, oxygen and ventilator use related to contracting the disease so that they will be available for others who have had the vaccine. -Healthcare workers should not be this...

I wasn't aware they had a gaming program.

That is one awesome post for a newbie here! Best of luck with the IPEB...I can't seem to get mine moving at that point. Congrats on the AFW2 acceptance. The program has a lot to offer...but do it on your time...the community will be there when you need it.

Yes to the wing level approval being a MUCH better chance than the non caring LOD side at NGB proper. BUT this new process stipulates that the MEMBER initiates an LOD not the treating provider. This is not in line with how it is historically done and puts the burden on the member not only to...

There is a pilot program and a revamp of the ARC LOD process. It allows final determination do be done at the Wing level...which is in line with AD. Historically...for Guard members it could be a year or two before an AD validated LOD goes to the ARC side for approval. The interesting thing...

Probably not going to happen. On AD a member will have a line number (Enlisted) pin on date (Officer) and with that definite date you cannot have your promotion held while in an MEB. In the reserve you don't have that definition. The unit will put you in for a local promotion board (O's or...

;)

Do me a favor and take a look...and read the form on the link below. Just because NGB denies an LOD doesn't mean they were correct in doing so. Pay particular attention to the parts that speak to injuries and aggravations while on orders over 30 days as well as the 8 year rule (if you have 8...

Meant to write..."ARC LOD denials DO NOT GENERALLY overcome clear and unmistakable evidence to overturn ILOD determinations.

While this language is geared toward the PEB....and you need a valid LOD to enter the PEB....this would stand in court. The ARC LODs are NOT taking this into account. Sadly spending most of my career in operations/staff work...I have been naïve by thinking that all in the uniform are SME's for...

Sorry i was off the site for a few months. Ohhhh I have many opinions on this matter. NGB is undermanned at all times and there seems to be a thought that they get props for being 50% manned. To me that is not working smarter...just harder. Most LOD denials (99%) are not well researched...

Take a peek at a breakdown sheet that i have been updating. The link is below. Ultimately, if it occurred during duty and you were seen for the injury while on status...they should have initiated it right away (although that never happens). look at the last page to see if you have enough time...
