    Re-review

    Hello everyone, I am a 4N in the Air Force. Back in September I was notified I was being put up for a med board. They reviewed my case in early October and said they would be "re-reviewing" my case at the end of November. Has anyone else shared this experience? Is this a common occurrence?

    Preparation for Decision Timeline

    I called the VA today since I cannot see my MEB progress on va.gov. I was told I am now in the Preparation for Decision. I was wondering what the timeline looks like going forward from this point. She had mentioned 30 days to hear something. I honestly don't believe that due to the backlog of cases.

    Medical retirement question

    Got a question and can’t seem to find the answer. A friend insists there is a difference being AD Army and medical retired at 15 years vs 14 years of qualified years. The only thing I discovered is the option for TERA at 15 years (*only if authorized by Congress). Any insight will be appreciated.
