sm21 - If he happens to be dicharged, you need to find out what the Seperation Code (three letter code) and the Reentry code, normally called the RE code. This will tell you how screwed he is. It will be on Page 4 of his DD-214 discharge (if he's getting discharged).
The reason I say discharge, is I was just helping a father who's son was in Nuke "A" school who was discharge just recently. You might want to read his story. Go to about page 10, and look at the beginning of his story at Feb 22 2011 @ 9:18pm. The fathers user name is Michael.

Read the story. Sounds like something my son would do. He also spends alot of his time playing x-box live and watching Netflix movies and is addicted to video games. He has no money. Spent it on a tatoo(huge one too), bought a car, got in an accident after having his license 1 month. (we didn't let him get his till he would be responsible). I think I will take the advice of just seeing what he says. I dont think I will get the truth anyway. I love him, will give him the advice and see what happens. I will keep you guys posted when he calls sometime on friday. Thanks.

I hope things work out for the best. It must be so hard to know he is in trouble and not be able to know what is going on. I offer my good wishes and prayers.♥

My son called on friday and said he is "undesignated." He is still in restriction and he said he will be assigned to a ship somewhere hopefully, in the next couple of weeks. It is definitely better than getting discharged. So, this is better. He said he was a E3 and is now an E1. Hopefully, he learned from whatever happened and will move forward. Thanks everyone for all your help. I really appreciate it.

Hate to say this but if he doesn't get his act together and quick, he will not be staying in the USN after his first enlistment. This will follow him for at least the first 4 years. Navy is only keeping the best of the best and allowing them to reenlist and seperating the rest at the end of their enlsitment.
If he is going undes SN, he will come up to GL for a few weeks before going to his command. He REALLY needs to keep his nose clean up in Great Lakes. They don't play when it comes to people getting into trouble.

I hope things turn around for your son. These are young guys and a lot is expected of them. Hopefully he will be able to move forward and make the best of things. I wish him well! :)

Thank, I hope he hangs in there too. This will be a real challenge for him. My gut feeling told me that something like this would happen, but I always tried to be positive. He had a horrible life with his birthparents and I know it affected him and probably will for the rest of his life. He has the power to change his life now, I can only give him advice and the rest is up to him.

Tell your son that we here at home really appreciate his service......The sailors have a hard time with this sometimes but I think it makes them feel important too. My sailor tells me its just his job but we relay that message and that we are proud of him all of the time. My son was assigned a ship and is now on the RR helping with humanitarian aid overseas. Like my son keeps telling me....I get paid to go to overseas countries. There are very few people that get to do the things he's gotten to do and it comes with a paycheck.
Remind him of the adventures the navy is offering him and that working hard is all they expect and then he'll see so many places he could only dream of before.

This is very true. He is currently on his way to california. Out of restriction. This is definitely better. Thanks.
