If being Medboarded with over 15 years can you request TERA?

Ok SSG Robert Burns and SSG James J. Palmer IV aka "JP4" here is what I know after review the Army directive, which is what really matters. After reviewing, I do not believe I can give a completely accurate answer because your question lacks context. That is fine, however, it is a bit contradictory as well. The question asks if you can request TERA if being medboarded, but at the same time you tied it to medical retirement which is totally different than being medboarded. One is an action and the other is an outcome. Either way, TERA is really only for personnel who have been selected for involuntary separation by a centralized selection board. If you are selected by that board, you can request TERA if you have TIS between 15 and less than 20 years. SO.....no you cannot request TERA if you are being medically retired...UNLESS you are simultaneously selected for voluntary separation. Then I assume one separation would trump the other. Which one takes precedence would probably another question. I hope this makes sense. Please review Army Directive 2013-14 (Temporary Early Retirement Authority).

No, TERA is only available for those NCOs selected for QSP.

We are in the middle of rotation here at NTC so I had a late night tonight SSG Robert Burns , SSG James J. Palmer IV aka "JP4" . I will have to research this real quick and get back to you. My quick answer is no though. Reason why is that TERA is not an entitled retirement that requires approval. If you are already getting a medical retirement, then I highly doubt TERA would get approved. Let me get back to you. Give me an hour.
