This past week I found out I will be getting medboarded sadly. I tried to medically reclass but it didn’t get approved. When I received or able to take to my peblo should I try push for a appeal? Or do I just need to hang it up? Also noted been waiting for months to try to reclass and profile kept getting denied for months. Will I be waiting again longer?

I don't think you understand how medical reclass works. You are referred to MAR2 and HRC decides: retain in MOS, reclass, or MEB. If HRC has returned your MAR2 saying refer to MEB - that's it, you are not eligible to reclass.

You are now headed to the MEB, work with your PEBLO. If your condition is bad enough that HRC returned your MAR2, then you need to MEB. Start TAP now, work on your transition plan.

Ok, so if you are being pushed towards a med board you need to re-asses priorities. Med Board means you are potentially looking at being forced out of the Military due to medical issues. Any hopes of reclassing are totally sidelined until you get this sorted out.

If HRC Says Medboard you Are Going to the Medboard ! it’s a 99.9% Chance You Will Get A Medical Discharge in About 4-6 Months, I Tried Everything Myself A Couple of Senior NCOs Could Think Of ,And the Only Thing It Did Was Stretch Out The Process to Almost A Year , So Accept It And Start Planning on Being A Civilian.
