Is it true you can recommend a soldier for a med board?

I have a soldier who’s got a “Dead Man.” profile, and I over heard that depending on how long they have it for. You can recommend them to the commander to be Med borded. Is there any truth to this? If so what’s the process?

No, only the PCM can recommend a MEB. An MEB can only be initiated by a permanent profile. You can't recommend a permanent profile to a provider any more than you could recommend a drivers license to a DMV.

I believe it is up to his primary care manager.

Only the Primary Care Provider can recommend for a Med Board. If you have a Permanent Profile with a 3 or 4 in ANY of the PULHES categories, then a Med Board is to be initiated. A Permanent Profile with a 2 in any of the PUHLES will NOT generate a Med Board process.
