I am facing a MEB. My LES says 22yrs of service, I get paid max pay. When I go to the MEB, will this be my years of service they will use in consideration for Medical Retirement? Will they use my BASD, PEBD, or DIEMS? My YOS pay has been verified by the Brigade S1 SGM. I was active then reserve then active now.

You might not get a medical retirement, you might get a medical separation instead, depending on what the IDES rates you. When your ratings are returned the PEBLO will explain how much money you're getting. There are multiple formulas with multiple ratings for VA and Army money. Too many to begin to speculate on right now until you have your ratings back. I realize you want to get an idea of what you'll be getting but at this point it could be anything from a few hundred to several thousand a month and lots of extra benefits. If you're curious about the formulas you can go on the DFAS website for them.

If you're Active Duty with a BASD of 11/06/2014, then you don't have 22 years of Service. You have around 7 years. Reserve years and Active years are not 1 for 1.

For your calculations though, if you're an AD Soldier your years of service is calculated using your BASD
