This may not be the right place to ask this but here goes anyway. My son was supposed to go to BC on the 5th of Dec. He was at MEPS had his physical all was well then he decided to mention that he gets migraines. He has never been medically diagnosed so he never mentioned them before. He received a DEP Discharge. He is so upset and really does want to join the Navy is there anything he can do to reenlist?
I just received a call from my SR daughter who has been at boot camp for 3 weeks. She said she is being medically separated due to "separation anxiety and depression". She said there were a few kids trying to leave or who have left already and the gave her division a mental health assessment. She said the questions were all very situational like "a woman is walking alone at night in a dark parking lot and a man is walking towards her. You are this woman. How do you feel?" Wouldn't my answer differ from someone who lived in a small town and knew everyone? Or someone who has been through something tragic?
She just got to ship 5. She said she signed papers this morning but it wasn't clear what those were. She also said that she has to meet with mental health on Monday. Her recruiter is saying that whatever the psychiatrist says is what the navy goes on.
Can someone please explain this process? I'm hoping she can explain her answers and somehow prove that she's perfectly capable of being in the Navy.
can someone point me to info on admistrative separation. Are their any benefits?
i'm a member on the fb site that supports families dealing w/this topic. i retained a civilian mil. atty., as i couldn't trust the mil system alone to give my son a fair shot. glad to see this group also and i hope to go to the prayer portion on this site too.
i am in Charleston now and due to depression they have started the administrative separation that can be finalized as early as 3 weeks,because the sooner i get him to NC,he will start feeling better.
