I experienced this once when visiting a pilot friend out in P-Cola. We showed up at this dept-wide barbeque at someone's house, everyone was playing cornhole (not e3 barracks cornhole  ) and talking about jets n poo poo and I remember holding my steak (OFFICERS) and my bourbon (OFFICERS) and going "Wh- why"

 I just got my prospective rating back, and they're throwing permanent retirement at me for a problem that should have been rated TDRL. The lawyer essentially told me to sign that bitch right now, but the QA process might catch it (and if it doesn't, praise baby jesus). If everything clears, I'll have forever-TricareRetired, forever-Dental, forever-head-to-toe-no-copay, forever-Gym, and forever-50%basepay after only 10 years. I'm okay with that.

my experience has generally been that once an admin error happens (unless it's BAH overpayment) they almost never catch that poo poo. Especially if you're already out. Just stay super quiet about it and enjoy!

SpaceJustice posted:What is TDRL? Temporary Disability Retirement List It's medical retirement, but you have to be re-evaluated by military doctors at some point, because the severity or impact of the medical condition that rendered you unfit for military service may improve or worsen. The other is PDRL. Obviously the "P" stands for "Permanent." That's for when they don't expect the severity or impact of the medical condition rendering you unfit for service will not change.

If some kid with an adjustment disorder can get TDRL'd because they're a treatment failure and their command is too lazy to admin sep them, then you can get PDRL'd.

This makes sense. I'm not terribly worried, but I was expecting less and was extremely surprised by the fact I'm getting out like a bandit here. I was expecting a get-out-of-contract-free card and a quick $70k from severance, and I'm getting almost $1mil over a life time plus health care.

check your inbox. and here's my general philosophy: If you try to make poo poo up to get out/get more money, you're an rear end in a top hat. If you tell the truth and they decide to be generous...hey man, that's their problem. (EXCEPTION: BAH overpayment...report that or you'll probably end up court-martialed for BAH fraud. You won't get convicted because your lawyer will blame it all on PSD, and the jury will agree...but it's still a pain in the nuts.)

This actually happened really fast for me, so get your poo poo together. Your retirement date is less than 90 days from the day your signature hits their desk.

So an Admiral liked the challenge coin I designed (with the help of Sir Lucious?) so much that he's personally tasked me to develop one for the N3 Directorate because of course he did. Despite the source that immediately went to the bottom of my personal and professional priorities list and now he's apparently upset and wants it by Friday. Anyway, I threw a rough draft together this morning and I'm wondering if anyone with any computer skills can work with me to draft a scalable, computerized version so that I can take it from rough concept drawing to full fledged digital product. I'd be willing to send you a finished coin as well as some form of compensation.

He's a submariner and his only guidance was, "N3 with a touch of humor" Perhaps I should have just made the coin submarine (penis) shaped with N3 bold across it.
