Jessica Hernandez, Physical Evaluation Board Liaison (PEBLO) at Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command (NMRTC) Twentynine Palms, stands in front of Robert E. Bush Naval Hospital, where she was recognized for her outstanding contributions to medical readiness and disability case management. In May, Hernandez received the 2025 Department of the Navy Disability Evaluation System (DON DES) “All Star” Award for leading efforts that improved data accuracy by 50%, streamlined medical evaluation board processing, and enhanced outcomes for more than 12,000 service members across three geographically dispersed units — all while serving as the sole PEBLO (U.S. Navy photo by Christopher C.
