I really appreciate the advice. The ADSEP board that I waived was for unsatisfactory performance which led to failure to change ratings.
Glad to help where I can.
Not sure about the underlying basis for your board. "Unsatisfactory Performance" would need to be well documented and there should normally be well documented basis for this including counselings, notifications, actions to be taken (by the Sailor and the command), with an opportunity to comply with the actions.
Again, not sure that waiving your right to the board was the best approach. However, you took that action and you have to deal with your current situation. (You should have gotten legal advice from, at least, the servicing Judge Advocate. Not sure if you did seek/get such advice. But, that is what should have happened, at a minimum).
I waived the board because I do want to get out, and it is guaranteed to be an honorable discharge.
Understand your goals and thoughts here. Still, given your medical issues, probably not the best approach you could have/should have taken from my point of view.
The reason I need to go to the mtf is to complete the full separation physical, which is where I am assuming/hoping they will refer me to a meb.
I think you hit on it- you are "assuming/hoping." For your sake, I hope this plays out in your favor.
My civilian provider could only say that I am not qualified for separation and can not do the entire physical.
At a minimum, you have some favorable evidence based on this. Still, actual action relies on the Navy/MTF following up and "doing the right thing." Not sure I would feel confident about that.
Hope that cleared my situation up, sorry I am just a little stressed about the whole situation.
Hope all goes well for you. Hope I have helped explain some of the issues in your case. Best of luck!
