Thank you all for the condolences and reassurance. He reached out to me today and seemed to be in a better place than yesterday. Prayers answered.

Elina I am sorry to hear this.  If he was in A school in the nuke program then often rather than re-rate them they will separate them.  It's usually only once they are in Power School or Prototype that they will re-rate them.  But nothing is set in stone. Stay in contact with him and yes, remind him that this isn't the end of the world.  There is something bigger and better out there for him - he is in no way a failure.  I'm sure this doesn't make him feel better right now but in time he'll figure it out.  Hang in there.  And my condolences on your loss.

I am sorry to hear that! It sounds as though he was transferring out of the nuke program, but did not get assigned to another rating (job). It's so hard when one's goals get turned upside down like that, especially when other sad news is mixed in. Condolences also on your family's loss of a mother/grandmother.

Ladies, I found this website very helpful when my son was in RTC. I'm hoping someone can help me again. My son had his PIR in December. He's been at A-school since January.

This evening when I was on the phone with him to talk with him about the unfortunate news of his grandmother's sudden death, he told me that last week he found out that he was didn't"rerate" and is being separated.

Does anyone have more information about what this means for him?

I did share with him the suicide prevention hotline numbers. He's not in a good place right now.

Members - please take a look at the new discussion posted up above by gothgirlL "SHIP 5 INFO!! FROM A SEPS RECRUIT".

gothgirlL went through the SEPS process and she has posted a very good discussion on what your SR (and you) might expect.  Of course every case is different but this is the most up to date info that we have as of late.

Thank you gothgirlL for posting this - I'm sure it wasn't easy having to go through the process but we thank you for taking the time to share - and of course we are wishing you the best of luck in whatever the future brings for you!

If you are just joining the Ship 5 group be sure to read through the IMPORTANT NUMBERS AND INFO FOR SHIP 5 at the top of the page.  Also note there is a link to the Facebook Ship 5 group which is a little more active (it's near the bottom of the important info).

Dear AmyLynn,

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully he can come home, heal up, and be allowed to re-enlist (if that is what he wishes to do).

As far as the 91 goes, that depends if it truly is 91 mmHg (i.e., an arterial blood gas measurement) or 91% (i.e., a measurement of oxygen saturation). If the former, it is within the realm of normal, if the latter, it is a bit low (especially for a young person, one would expect mid to high 90s).

Hope all works out.

Very confused as my son is being separated due to complications of pneumonia. He is now being medically discharge due to Symptoms of Low Oxygen in Blood normal value is between 80 and 100 mmHg and his is 91 ? 

If this is something that will get better why the discharge? so soon.

angelatx - thank you for sharing - I'm happy to hear that your daughter is home and doing well now.  Even though the Navy didn't work out for her it sounds like it gave her the confidence to move forward and find something she is excited about.  Everything happens for a reason!

Zacks mom - I'm sorry your son is going through this.  I don't have answers for you - I will recommend that you join the facebook group - the link is posted up above.  I'm sure they can give your more information as to his options.  The main thing is if your son thinks he wants to try and go back that he gets a re-enlisted code that will allow it. Hang in there - the main thing right now is for you to be supportive of him.  Please thank him for his willingness to join.

Hello ship 5.  My son called and he is being sent to seps after being in ship 4 due to knee injury he sustained at bc. I am so sad for him this was his first time away from home and when asked if he wanted to separate or stay he said go home.... he was sent to gl on April 9 and was in division who’s senior div had the terrible loss - which shocked and truly affected him. also he was injured soon after starting training- sadly when he stepped forward to show his fellow sr’s how to do an exercise- and was apparently picked for a leadership roll early on because his go get em attitude and willing nature-anyway before his first real call home where it was unscripted he called saying he was hurt and being moved to ship 4. On mother’s day I got a call and he was upbeat although going crazy not able to do anything and talking about becoming a pilot after his initial job was completed and he was to re sign up. Now he is heading home....? Apparently the doc said he could stay but would have to return to training, then when his knee- still hurt mind you- was fully destroyed due to activity- and would be soon while in training- he would be sent back to ship 4 to have major knee surgery be in ship 4 for possibly 14 months or so to heal and then continue his training to finish bc. Of course my son is homesick and hurt badly on top of that so he just was thinking of coming home to his family. And that’s what the doc recommended. I called his recruiter and he and I are both so very upset and sad as to zacks treatment. He is a good kid who needed the Navy and all the structure and commroderie it provides and now is being sent home injured!  I as so confused and sad/mad that he was truly injured at bc and they can just send him home- still broken to deal with it on his own...?!?  What do we do for him? How can we get this major surgery paid for??? Please if you have had similar experience or are aware of what to do let me know!!! I love our country and am so very proud of our armed forces- my entire family is military- but am so angry with this situation. ?!? Needing grace and wisdom.......!
