    Explanation
    A medical board is responsible for evaluating and reporting on diagnosis, planning for treatment, rehabilitation, or convalescence, and estimating the length of further disability. However, the selection of personnel for special duty is not a function of a medical board. This task typically falls under the jurisdiction of human resources or a specialized committee responsible for personnel selection.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    What report is used when a member is expected to return to full duty status after being placed on limited duty?

    • A.

      Limited Duty (LIMDU) Board

    • B.

      Formal Medical Board

    • C.

      Abbreviated Temporary Limited Duty (TLD) Medical Board

    • D.

      Physical Examination Board (PEB)

    Correct Answer
    C. Abbreviated Temporary Limited Duty (TLD) Medical Board
    Explanation
    The Abbreviated Temporary Limited Duty (TLD) Medical Board is used when a member is expected to return to full duty status after being placed on limited duty. This board assesses the member's medical condition and determines if they are fit for full duty. It provides a temporary limited duty status until the member is able to return to full duty. The TLD Medical Board is a less extensive evaluation compared to the Formal Medical Board or the Physical Examination Board, which are used for more serious medical conditions.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Which of the following steps is appropriate when a servicemember is found not fit for duty after an initial TLD period of 6 months, but has a favorable prognosis and is expected to be returned to duty within 4 more months?

    • A.

      Administrative separation

    • B.

      Extension of 4 months to his TLD

    • C.

      Initiation of a second and final 6-month TLD

    • D.

      Formal medical board

    Correct Answer
    A. Administrative separation
    Explanation
    When a servicemember is found not fit for duty after an initial TLD period of 6 months but has a favorable prognosis and is expected to be returned to duty within 4 more months, the appropriate step would be administrative separation. This means that the servicemember would be separated from the military due to their inability to perform their duties, but it is done in a way that is not punitive and allows for the possibility of rejoining the military once they have fully recovered. This option is more suitable in this scenario compared to the other options provided.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    What is the maximum length of time an individual may be held on limited duty without convening a formal board?

    • A.

      8 Months

    • B.

      16 Months

    • C.

      1 Year

    • D.

      2 Years

    Correct Answer
    B. 16 Months
    Explanation
    An individual may be held on limited duty without convening a formal board for a maximum length of 16 months. This means that if someone is temporarily assigned to limited duty due to medical reasons or other circumstances, they can be kept in that status for up to 16 months before a formal board is convened to determine their future status or assignment. It is important to review and assess the individual's condition and progress during this time to make appropriate decisions regarding their duty status.

    Explanation
    Flag or general officers are high-ranking military officers who hold important leadership positions. It is necessary for them to be easily recognizable and distinguished from other officers. Annotating their health jackets with their rank helps in achieving this purpose. This annotation ensures that their rank is clearly visible and acknowledged, allowing for proper identification and respect within the military hierarchy.

The SF 600 is the Chronological Record of Medical Care, which would include any medical information related to the member's desertion. The NAVMED 6150/4 is the Medical Record - Dental, which would also include relevant information about the member's desertion. Therefore, both A (SF 600) and C (NAVMED 6150/4) would be the correct documents for making a notation about a member's deserter status.
