Do you get some sort of paperwork after the QMP?

My question is, and I have asked my 1SG, Operations and a 79S and some others, the other day when in a meeting. It was if I am clear and have been retained from this QMP board and my ERB code is now cleared, I should be getting something that says that the findings of the board have found this and you are being retained or something official. I know they can not QMP me for the same ART 15 I got for a BS reason which almost ended my career. But shouldn't I get notified? Told me that if I have not got any notification and my ERB was clear, what more did I want. Do they not realize how traumatic of an experience this is to a Soldier. I could go on, but I will stop there.

I suggest you tag a larger group to get more responses SFC Private RallyPoint Member. I am not exactly sure what a QMP is. I was the defendant or recipient of an company grade Article 15 in 1975 and a General Officer Article 15 in 1982. The later was put into my restricted file. I suffered for it. However I did my best to serve as s soldier and was passed over many times but still continued to serve this nation as long as I could.

You would probably in about 3 to 8 months after the board. I have also been QMPd. I am now a retired SFC,but was also QMPd after the board convened. I got back from Afghanistan and the acting Brigade Commander (LTC) sat me and another E7 to give us the bad news ; I had over 18 years and he had over 20 so we were both able to retire. The best thing to do is prepare whether it happens or not a prepared Soldier is a civilian life ready Soldier; make sure your finances is in order and you have a working resume everything else with the military will fall in place. Hopefully this helps you.

You will get an official memorandum that states you were retained as a result of the QMP board. You should be notified by your Bn CDR, in person, and he will give you the letter. Check with your CSM.
