I'm in the process of having a 365 day physical fitness profile which exempts me from the run/walk and sit ups for (Spinal Arthritis) DDD/L5-S1 Disc bulge and radiculopothy. I heard this might trigger an MEB. I'm looking for advice from people with similar conditions and whether or not they were returned to duty.
I'm Air Force, 14 year E-7 and wondering if I should let this profile go through or try to avoid an MEB. I want to continue to serve and feel I can still perform all the duties required and meet the requirements to deploy. But after reading a couple of these threads it seems all individuals are being found "unfit" for this condition. If this is the case, I'm leaning towards letting my case go to MEB now vs possibly getting MEB'd at 18 or 19 years. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
