I was boarded on the Nov 15' AMEDD Commissioning Board. I was told that I was selected (Captain) and awaiting commissioning. I found out yesterday when the scroll released that I was admin rejected. Reason being, I received severance pay in 1994 from the Marines. HQ knew of this sev pay, processed, boarded, selected, scrolled. HQ now says rejected because sev pay. Appeal submitted. Thoughts?

How do you know it was rejected because of severance pay? No results are given because of admin ineligible or non-selects

Yeah that's very unfortunate indeed. I wish they would give us the WHY? But they do not. i can't speculate on the reasoning behind the decision. What does your recruiter, and the medical company say. They probably don't know as well other than what you stated earlier. What job were you going for?

But to suggest an avenue of an appeal process, I have not seen it. I would suggest to follow any guidance from your medical recruiting company if any.

SFC A.M. Drake - They called HQ and there was the back and forth regarding the DC payment I received. They were told that if I were going active there would not be an issue, but I am going reserve. The only reason for reserve was secondary to being told I had to do one year reserve then switch to active. This came down when my CV review was processed. The whole thing is aggravating given the fact that for the past 5 years, HQ said I was able to process...

SFC A.M. Drake - I appreciate your comments. I just found this out yesterday and am glad I have some people on here to discuss it with. By the way, I processed as a 66p. Recruiting station out of Nashville, Tn.

I am sorry this happened to you, but don't lose hope just yet as the medical department is incredibly forgiving as a whole to its doctors. Good luck in fighting this and I'm sorry for the setback.

Hell of a Cheesy Reason top Black Ball someone! You accepted an early out severance package so now you can't be an officer. Personally I think that is BS! I wish you luck bucking the system. There has to be some kind of Waiver.

Apparently it's not an issue if I go Active but it is if I go reserve. My CV review was for active, However, HQ said I had to go reserve for a year before switching to active because of my age (43). I do want to clarify,, it was a med sep package. Never followed up wit the VA nor did I collect monies after DC. I was told the nature of the sep package was not the issue, it was going back in with any type of package. Which to me does not make sense because other have done it. I'm just a little upset that they worked my package for 5 years with the OK from HQ and send a reject after I have been selected by the board. Hopefully I find out better news next week.

CPT Enrique M. - Haha! I'll keep you informed. I refuse to believe that this is the end of a long long fought journey.... However, it may be,,, I believe that I will have the final answer within the next two weeks... If it works out and I see you in BOLC,, the first, second, and third round are on me!

I posted this question in January of 2016. Just to follow up,,, I was informed later in the year that I should have been given a waiver. I was boarded again and put on the OML. However, two weeks ago I was sworn in as a Captain in the United States Army Reserve. It was a long road consisting of many years and two degrees. But I never gave up. I wanted to thank all that commented on my original post. I was devastated with the original results, but having you all to chat with made it easier. I thank you all for your service and for being there when someone needs you.
Sincerely,
CPT Jason H. Rodriguez
