No worries - excited to see thay you will have about 5 months total from start of IDES to NLT date. If my processing timeline can stick close to that, I'll be grateful. This waiting is excruciating!

The NLT date isn't set in stone. You can choose to get out sooner but it's a 90 day window they give people to work with.

I got my NLT date in early April and my NLT was early July. I can't remember the exact dates right now but I picked up my DD214 two days ago. I chose 13 May as my final date.

**Edit - I got out at Bragg as well **

I went through VES, are you having issues with them?

No issues. Just feeling extremely impatient. More curious about their turn-around time with VA and PEBLO.

Everything seemed to move pretty quick. My entire process had some delays due to the shutdown in the fall and then when my packet was submitted to the PEB the first time the system somehow didn't receive it but I didn't find out until a month later when I finally spoke to the lady in charge of all the PEBLOs. Once she caught the error and submitted my packet correctly things went real quick.

All that to say VES seemed to be on top of it and once you're past them it's just between you and your PEBLO and the PEB.

That's great information, thank you for that!! So far, I am thinking of starting my terminal on June 22nd to give me some time to clear in case something goes wrong. VA effective date of July 20th and expected first check of September 1st.

Sounds about right. Except for CIF and the final stops, I cleared installation in two days. It can be done really quick.
