I tried to be brief-
A little over a month ago I created a post asking for insight on why I’d be medically denied from transferring into 162nd Morris ANG, despite being medically cleared/approved by 165th Savannah ANG.
I outprocessed with them December. They completed my PHA and 422.
This is what my retention manager received back : Service member is medically disqualified from
TRANSFER request. IAW with MSD(medical standar directory) (18 Dec 2025)
L23, Q2A, Q2C,
and Q3C, service member requires
**IRILO (**What an IRILO Is
IRILO = Initial Review in Lieu Of MEB)
I had to google those codes. They refer to conditions requiring a waiver/ conditions potentially affecting worldwide deployabilty/ category of conditions relating to musculoskeletal.
Still trying to make this a long story short.
I am fit. In the 2018 I had nerve ablations for spasms in my neck and another round down in 2024.
I do not have issues working out/ doing my job.
I was fit enough to cross train/ get medically cleared into Fire; fit enough to go to Fire Academy; fit enough to graduate last June without injury; and fit enough to get medically cleared from the 165th to transfer out. My last PT test was in December and I got a 94 ish %.
How do I advocate for myself? How do I get an IRILO done? 165th medical says they can’t/ won’t do anything for me because they already cleared me and can’t put a packet together?
I only found this info out about a month ago. I’ve been passive, hoping someone from NGB or whoever will reach out to me.
I want to be able to prove I’m qualified, and not broken. It will also burn to have gone to gone through fire academy for nothing. I’m 12 years active duty and 2 years with the guard.
Any POCs, insight and advice is appreciated. I don’t want to lose my career over medical notes and assumptions.
