does anyone have any experience with the separation process after a recruit has been there for about 167 days and are being medically separated. He has been given an attorney and a PEBLO and was told that it takes 3-6 months to get through the medical examination board and the physical examination board. He’s been told that he will probably qualify for benefits . He said steps is horrible because most don’t car anymore and act up and get everyone else in trouble and very few are like him and want to stay. The previous CO was going to let him stay and heal but the new CO changed the plans.

It all depends on why he was sent to SEPS. If he was medically discharged because of depression, anxiety,etc. they won't take him back. If it's due to an injury it's possible but the chances are slim. If he stays there his chances of going back into bootcamp are greater than if he went home and tried to reenlist. It can be frustrating but if he wants it bad enough he'll hang in there. Every person has a different experience with SEPS. My foster son's wasn't so bad but he did say that that are a lot of people there that just don't give a crap! He was there for 5 months before they let him go.

I’m sure he won’t be able to reinlist. If he’s medically separated it will be because of a 30 percent or night disability which happened there. I was just wondering about the va benefits process 

A lot depends on his separation code and which VA program/benefits.  He should certainly file with the VA as soon as he can after separation, and they will let him know what he is eligible for.

I would love to know this information too if anyone can share. My son has been in Great Lakes since May 2018. He is on his final ship & I have lost communication with him over a week ago. The last I heard, his communications would be more frequent. That was the case until a new CO took over. Any news, is better than no news. The last I heard is that the new CO had his unit staring at their bunks for hours on end. So I am definitely concerned...
