Ship 5- Fraudulent Enlistment
Hi- new to the site, although I should have joined much sooner- at the start! In my research, I always find this site and it has been extremely helpful. My sister, who is 10 years younger and we are very close, left the Monday before Thanksgiving. It has been extremely hard and we all miss her so much. She was a week from Graduating (Her Graduation was the 18th of January, 2013), and she was diagnosed with a Stress Fracture. Moved to Ship 4. She was so bummed and depressed, she had a panic attack. She met with a therapist there and told them that she has experience anxiety before. She has never been diagnosed with anything. The therapist told her she had to go home and work herself out. Now, she's moved to ship 5 and has met with Legal. They gave her and RE-8 Code (?)with Fraudulent enlistment. I guess my questions is how will this effect her in her future and how soon will she be home? She is so upset and feels like she failed, but at this point, just wants to be home and is done with the Navy. She is excited to go to college and get back in school. Thanks for any input:)

Once a recruit goes to SEPS (Ship 5), it usually takes about 2 weeks before being sent home. I see you have joined Ship 5 Moms(Formerly Ship 17); they will be able to answer your questions. http://www.bootcamp.navy.mil/ship5/index.asp may also be helpful to you.
RE-8 means that she is ineligible to reenlist without a waiver.
I hope that her Plan B works out for her.
