Curious about this topic as well. Do most that qualify for regular retirement opt for that rather than having to go through the IDES process? I figure if you’re going through IDES at 20 plus and found unfit, might as well take the disability retirement, no?

Do you want to stay in until 20 years? AR 635-40, Chapter 6: Continuation on Active Duty (COAD). And yes, you should apply for CRSC if and when the time comes battle buddy!

I would pursue and apply for it. Just because your paperwork doesn’t state a condition is combat related doesn’t mean you can’t apply for CRSC. Not sure what your percentage would be, but I would apply. I don’t like having what ifs or unanswered questions. It can’t hurt to apply battle buddy!

Also if COAD’s only got approved for 1-2 years they wouldn’t have it be an option for Soldiers with 15 but less than 20 years.

You need to submit your COAD packet to your PEBLO within 7 days of signing and accepting your results on your 199.

You can accept your board results. You don’t need to exhaust all appeals at all. You need to submit your completed COAD packet to your PEBLO within 7 days.

You can still apply for CRSC for any conditions you believe may be combat related though.

Ask your PEBLO for the COAD checklist. Make sure you have all the documents required on that list. Depending on how much time you have left you need to start gathering those documents time now…, let me know if you have any other questions battle buddy!

Dude, get the help and care you need. It’s a big step recognizing your own issues, that means it’s time to bury them and put it to rest so you can move on and live a great retired life. Either way I agree with most comments that you will hit 20 years, I truly believe that’s a non-issue. I 100%...

The retirement packet will help especially if approved prior to initiating the MEB. You have the right mindset. Always be a step ahead and have a COA for every potential issue. Forward thinking is very beneficial.

I would delay if possible. But if it’s initiated those regulations give you a few different routes to attain 20 years AFS. Not sure how it would impact your CSP. I’m not too familiar with those regulations. If you start the MEB you can appeal and delay the process as well, and if found unfit you...

AR 635-40 CH. 6; Continuation on active duty (COAD). AR 635-40 CH. 4-29; Retention of Soldiers with more than 18 but less then 20 years of active service. I think you’ll be ok when it comes to attaining 20 years AFS. However, know regulations that will inform you of your options to hit your 20...

I appreciate the response sir, great explanations for clarity, much appreciated!

Sounds good to me! Thanks Ron.

The evidence I have, just curious if it is something that warrants a set of legal eyes.

Is it recommended for an individual to do their own paperwork, or would a lawyer be the better option to do the write up?

Understood. I appreciate it. Thank you.

Roger that, thanks Ron.

If my 199 states my referred condition is not combat related, does that affect my application for CRSC?

Got it. Good rule of thumb, as always much appreciated Ron.
