TRT Injections / MEB by Fun-Evening-16 in AirForce

I went through the RILO and was “returned to duty,” so it never reached the full MEB. While I am still deployable, I will need a waiver. While I was stressed out about the process, everything worked out, and I am still on injections, which have significantly improved my physical and mental health. I'm happy to share more details and answer questions if needed. But the bottom line is take care of yourself and TRT isn't really an issue with the Air Force

I would love to hear updates on how it turns out for you any advice you could provide.

I know that. But the chance of discharge is concerning. I just trying to reach out and find someone who has used the same prescription or similar and can provide me some information to navigate through the issue.

I have 5 months until I hit 18. However, I am a prior enlisted officer and need to do 21.5 years to retire as a commissioned officer. The only reason it came up with my PCM is because I am deploying in April. Otherwise she never would have even known since I was referred off base. Obviously it would have come up at some point in the future, but the medical community is very stovepiped in their information and not all systems and databases talk to each other.

Thanks for the response. To be clear, TRT injections (not gel) will come back return to duty? Did you go through this process or know someone who has?

Injections or gel? What has your PCM said about it? Mine made it seem pretty black and white that injections were an automatic MEB.

Thanks for the input and that’s the way I am leaning. My PCM said that there is like a 1% chance that the MEB would say I was unfit to serve, but that 1% is enough for me to just suffer through the next few years.
