Dates are approximate but close enough
Just wanted to share with the group!

○ 15 Mar - PCM notifies me of MEB referral
○ 1 May - Case meets criteria for IRILO
○ 2 May - 1 Jul - Absolutely nothing happens. I schedule follow up with PCM to see what's going on and get told the hospital is backed up and to be patient. Sigh.
○ 1 Aug - I receive code 37 randomly, and call peblo office. They say I should have a peblo at this point and give me one on the spot. It seems things are moving forward? Thanks for letting me know AF :).
○ 2 Aug - CC Signs letter, do not retain. This was previously discussed and already drafted.
○ ? Aug - NARSUM complete
○ 5 Aug - Complete paperwork with Peblo and send things to afpc to await decision.
○ 10 Aug - Unfit. Peblo says she will pass my info and the MSC will reach out, I'm holding my breath for quick results.
○ 20 Aug - Start skillbridge. Things feel like they're moving fast!
○ 15 Sept - MSC still hasn't reached out. PEBLO answers after 3 weeks of no answers & tells me medical records are lost. How does this happen on 2023? Short answer: some old paper records from original enlistment, not alot of stuff is missing.
○10 Nov - Records discovered after dumb luck incident and a helpful records civilian. Kudos! Note: peblo did not assist in this at all, I had to call every base I'd ever been at until I found someone who could find them.
○ 15 Nov - MSC reaches out and I start scheduling C&Ps, finally!
○ 15 Dec - 20 Jan 24 - finished up all C&P appointments.
○ 22 Jan 24 - DBQs are loaded in TOL. Nothing is loaded in VA website.
○ 30 Jan 24 - PCM Receives documents from PEBLO. Pcm says she just has to sign original narsum saying the VA findings seem legit? Weird?

I feel like my MEB has gone in the weirdest order and I have no idea which steps are next now.

Weird, Yes. DoD is bound to use VA percentages, no deciding if it’s legit involved.

I'll revise the verbiage to make it more accurate since i was in a bit of rush earlier, what she truly said was more along the lines of "I'll review the VA findings and concur, given they match the original NARSUM, unless I need to add more detail".

This was in reply to my question of if there would be another local MEB following the results to give me a DOD rating.
 
Sounds better.
 
It sounds like I'm waiting on my AF Form 618 at this point based on other timelines

26 Feb - VA proposed rating received, awaiting DOD & AFPC response
 
Hopefully you got what you were hoping for! Keep fighting the fight. If retired/separated, you can expect around 10 business days for AFPC to cut you orders after you agree with your findings and your PEBLO forwards that paperwork to AFPC. Good luck!

Thanks! I saw on your post that you waited about 7 days to get your decision back from afpc? Hopefully I'm about the same. Only thing I wish is that we'd see our individual VA ratings as well instead of just overall so I had an idea if I was getting retired vs separated.

7 business days is correct for me. And 10 days for orders.
 
29 Feb 24 - Never received MyFSS message, but PEBLO has my results from AFPC, I should find out within 24 hours.

Did you talk with the ODC when you got your ratings?

I didn't. Since I received above 30% I was happy with my ratings & decided to push forward with the PDRL. I was ready for the process to be over to be honest.

Guy in my unit is medboarding and just recently waited a week for orders, not too bad.

I hope that's the case for me! Any updates on your ratings? I saw your post about the permissive, that's rough. I'm honestly surprised, it's not like you're asking for a lot.
