I am currently on a PEB for Idiopathic Hypersomnia and based on the comments from my pulmonologist and CO they are recommending separation. What all is taken into account when they decide if you unfit or fit? do they usually go with the recommendations provided if the medical documents back it up? or will they go the complete other way? I was also asked if i desired to continue service and expressed that i did not want to being that I'm a AD marine with my first enlistment being based around work-ups followed by deployment i would not rather remain in service if i am non-deployable and this condition makes me non-deployable due to the chronic use of prescribed medication it would seem odd if i am found fit for duty.

I'm not an expert, but from what I understand, they take a number of things into consideration. NMA, NARSUM, personal statement. It is natural to think that they'll do the opposite of you want (we've been conditioned that way), but from what I've seen that's not how this operation goes. I know two fellow Chiefs that were found UNFIT, but both their NMA and personal statements said they recommended retention and wanting to stay in, respectively. In that case, their conditions (non-deployable) outweighed what they wanted. I firmly believe that if your condition makes you non-deployable and your personal statement articulates your unwillingness to be retained because of that fact, then those two things will weigh toward a potential UNFIT outcome.
Aww ok i see well thank you for the info i guess I'm just overthinking it.I'm not an expert, but from what I understand, they take a number of things into consideration.
