Well today was the day, I went to MEB and signed all the papers. I am under the legacy program or I guess we can call it the old program. They told me that the package will go in the mail today and we should here an answer back in approx 60 days. They estimate I should have my retirement orders 30 days after that ( I am ADAF and have 20 yrs AD and 10 yrs Res & Guard). Finally I will receive 90 days to out process and such but we are dealing with the military so nothing is set in stone. The local board decided I was to far gone to keep around and I thought I would take the news better than this but I am very worried, I am in no hurry and I believe everything will work out in the end.
This whole process is not going proper. They have refused to show me the commanders letter, he must really hate me. The only narrative summary that they have is from mental health and yes the military had driven me crazy. They are sending my entire medical records to San Antonio for the board, all 2000 pages and we know from experience no government employee is going to read that. I again try to get them to do a ROM for my back and again they refused. I told them I will appeal if it is what I expect and I plan on driving because I’m allergic to jet fuel, still no dice. This is not what I have read these board are suppose to be like, anybody else had this experience? They did say I was more informed than anybody that they have seen come through
So the process is finally moving.
Sept 2010 - asked for board & told it would start beginning of Oct
Apr 26 2011 - finally went to local board
May 4 2011 - clock begins, giving them today just because
