Hello all,
I am in the VAARNG and just today recieved my permanent profile along with a letter that states: "Soldier has been recommended for Medical Evaluation Board (MEB/PEB)."
A couple of weeks ago, my case manager informed me that since it is not duty related, I have the chance to choose whether I get out of the NG or go through the medical board. She also mentioned they would be handing my case off to G1 to "complete the board."
What I am getting from the letter is that they are making me go through the MEB process instead of just letting me go. Am I interpreting the letter right?
And if I do have to go through the MEB process, what is the usual timeline for an MEB in the Virginia National Guard?
Thanks in advance. I truly appreciate any help with my questions!
