Hi All, Sorry for exiting rapidly, and not letting anybody know. I had some urgent matters that needed 100% of my attention, and I did not want be on here if I couldn't give it my full effort. I will be looking in on here a few days a week again, and will be happy to help out if anybody needs...

Title says it all. Seahawks by 10 is my bet. Joe

Maybe my experience is just a freak of nature, but I figured I would share it. On the 28th of June 2013 I filed for a ratings increase so I could beat the one year deadline for a condition to go back to my discharge. I was not overly concerned about how long it was going to take, as I know after...

To all my fellow PEB Forum friends, and family I wish you a Merry Christmas. Please take tonight and tomorrow, and step away from all the hustle bustle of the "process", and reflect upon what you are thankful for. Hug your wife, kids, family and friends, and enjoy this special time of the year...

Members, Please answer this short group of questions. It is all pretty general, but will be valuable information to find and pass on ways to improve the system. In about a week I will begin to tabulate data, and post it on here. I will update it as we get new responses. Rules: 1. Answer only...

I followed up in another thread with the information that the "fitness" notification is not required, and it was better to use your energy on controlling things you can control. For all of the members that believe their PEBLO has to provide you with this letter, here is the policies from each...

I have heard the elephant creeping around the room, but haven't heard anybody point it out, so here goes. Government shutdown and IDES. How will this impact it? First it is may well slow everything down on the military side. The house is going to send a bill forward today to ensure troops get...

Hey guys below is a great resource that was passed onto me. If you use LinkedIn, you know that there is a big difference between the free account and a paid premium account. Premium gives you much more visability, greater email and messaging cpabilities and much better networking options. It...

Good Afternoon All, I am not sure how many of you are aware of the VA ASPIRE Database, but I just spent a few hours playing with it, and found it to have a lot of good information in it. It will basically provide you with the metrics that the VA tracks on the VBA. You can drill down on rating...

I am reposting this link that Jason posted in another thread. It is a publication that was put out for the Army WTU's, but has a ton of very useful information to all Army soldiers. It deals with finance, leave, the MEB/PEB and a wide variety of other items. Pay close attention to the references...

Good Show!! I am a retired Army Aviation guy and of course carry a rivalry with the Air Force, but have to say this is a really good show. I think Nat Geo is doing a good job with this one. It is pretty much the same thing as Army MEDEVAC, but we don't have the cool guns. The best part about...

As promised, here is the new PEB tracker. I changed things up a little bit. I added a chart that will give you a quick snapshot of average times and removed a few rcolumns. Please keep your posts in this thread to timelines only. It is not for asking questions, or making comments. Anything of...

Ok folks, this may turn into a nightmare to meoderate, but I am going to do it anyway. I need information from Soldiers that have gone through, or are going through MEB/PEB with a regular line unit. What I am looking for is specific information as to what worked, didn't work and horror...

If this describes you, use the attached table. It is very simple. Let's say you have 5 rated conditions of 50%,30%,30%,10% and 10%. Take the first two ratings and use the table. The bigger number is found on the left margin of the table and the small number is found on the top of the table. So...

Since I haven't seen anybody do this, I will go ahead and post my CRSC information. Maybe it will help others figure out this big, confusing process. First let me give you the basics. I am Army, I was retired for my back at a combined rating of 30%. I was also rated by the VA for adjustment...

I haven't seen a thread in here that offers a one stop shop for disabled veterans job links and figured it would be a good idea. I know one of the most frustrating aspects of my transition was trying to find a job. There are a ton of programs out there, but nobody does a very good job of...

I have found tons of information on CRSC, but haven't found one that answers my question. What I want to know is how it is calculated when there is a difference between the my DOD ratings and VA ratings? I was rated 30% by DOD for two conditions, both of which were deemed caused by combat. My VA...

I received my NARSUM today during a counseling session with my PEBLO. I was given copies of everything and made a followup appointment for later this week. Here is what I had on the 3947: 1. Degenerative Disk disease. Fails to meet retention standards 2. Adjustment Disorder- Meets retention...

WARNING!! long read below. If you want to skip my history, just stop at the "history" paragraph. Where to start? First let me say I have spent the last 5 hours reading posts, FAQs and the VA Rating Scheme and I am now more confused than ever. I honestly scares the crap out of me. This whole...
