DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

My son was scheduled to leave for boot camp two weeks from today. However, Friday he fractured a bone in his hand and must wear a splint for 4 weeks. He is so disappointed. On top of dealing with this he has been told he will probably be kicked out. He wrote a letter to the commanding officer requesting to be allowed to stay in. His recruiter says he would have to wait 6 months and begin the whole process again. Anyone have information about how this works? He was very excited about becoming a sailor.

"020710. CHANGES TO MEDICAL/PHYSICAL CONDITION WHILE IN DEP. Injuries,
ailments or changes to medical/physical condition requiring medical consultation or
treatment while in DEP must be immediately reported to the MEPS CMO for an updated
physical eligibility determination.


a. Future Sailors found to be temporarily medically disqualified for a period of 90
days or less may be retained in DEP provided they will not exceed the 365-day DEP
limit. Future Sailors found permanently medically disqualified, temporarily disqualified
for more than 90-days or unable to ship prior to reaching the 365-day DEP limit due to
changes in their medical condition must be DEP discharged.


b. Prior DEP members discharged due to changes in their medical status while in
DEP may reprocess for enlistment as soon as the temporary medical condition is
resolved and the member is cleared to be reexamined by the MEPS CMO or when a
waiver is granted by COMNAVCRUITCOM (N3M) for a MEPS CMO determined
permanent disqualifying condition."

Thanks, Angie! This is helpful information. My son was so looking forward to going in and his recruiter has been very vague. I will pass this information on to my son.

After he is healed up and the doctor gives him the go ahead have him start bugging the recruiter.  Giving discharged from DEP isn't a big deal with regards to the paper work...so don't let him think his dreams are crushed, he just needs to worry about getting better
