<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Man,t I'd say you have to follow your orders to the extent possible. Those in your chain of command know what's happening. In the meantime, your profiles will exempt you from certain duties. but not from showing up if possible. Once the Med Board process ends, things will change.SGT Robert PryorMon, 01 Jun 2020 19:30:59 -04002020-06-01T19:30:59-04:00Response by SFC Steven Borders made Jun 1 at 2020 7:54 PM

They still attend drill until their orders are cut, but they also know they are MED boarding so they don't push it that much if they do miss drill. Just depends on the situation. I wish I had a more concrete answer for you, I can only go off what what they do for the 396th CSH.SFC Steven BordersMon, 01 Jun 2020 19:54:15 -04002020-06-01T19:54:15-04:00Response by MSG Private RallyPoint Member made Jun 1 at 2020 8:02 PM

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I am trying to dig up specifics in literature about attending BTA while going thru the MEDBOARD, but so far nothing. I can say from experience that I once had a Soldier going thru a MEB/PEB and was still participating IDT. I'll keep digging and if I find anything specific, I'll let you knowMSG Private RallyPoint MemberMon, 01 Jun 2020 20:02:03 -04002020-06-01T20:02:03-04:00Response by SGM Jeff Mccloud made Jun 1 at 2020 9:58 PM

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Required,<br />Only a Commander can excuse a Soldier from drill, or authorize a SUTA/RST/ET.<br />AR 135-91.<br /><br />The only time drill is "optional" is the first 90 days back from deployment.SGM Jeff MccloudMon, 01 Jun 2020 21:58:19 -04002020-06-01T21:58:19-04:00Response by CSM Charles Hayden made Jun 1 at 2020 11:07 PM

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I have extended twice now. Medboard takes forever. Go to drill ask about progress , do the best you can and leave, when the time comes with your head up. <br />Or don't show up and be remembered as that guy. <br />Enjoy your time with your unit, soon you will miss itSSG Private RallyPoint MemberTue, 02 Jun 2020 01:39:41 -04002020-06-02T01:39:41-04:00Response by SSgt Christophe Murphy made Jun 2 at 2020 9:28 AM
