My son will be in the Navy for 2 years,this August 25,2013.He was in the Naval Nuclear Program.He made it through "A" and Power School and started Prototype this past March.He has been diagnosed with pilonidal cysts and will have to have surgery soon.He was put on med hold on July 24th.He was diagnosed with depression with more of a dopamine deficiency.As much as they want him to stay in,because academically,he was outstanding,and hasn't had any conduct issues at all,they also told him,that they don't want any Sailor to feel like they are trapped in the Navy.The physician put him on an antidepressant yesterday.He said he was in DTP processing right now.They are giving him 30 days to vacate his apartment and relocate to NETC(NWS),so they can watch him on base.He is looking at an Administrative Discharge within 3 months,at the earliest.I am hoping sooner.

My Son did his five years in the Navy and he had plans on reinlisting but his first 7 month cruise his wife cheated on him, they had been together 7 years two married, he called me, and he would be in tears, it hurt our whole Family and I had to ask God to take the anger away from me for her so I could help my Son, now he is home and leaving tomorrow for the Base in Mayport Naval Station for a week of detachment classes but now he is looking forward to his new future and College, I am glad you Moms are here to help each other

Hi, I am new to this group- my daughter is being medically discharged from bootcamp.. I am waiting to hear when she goes to Legal.. She passed all of Bootcamp but her final pfa- she then went to fit, and did something to her leg- got sent to rcu- first they said it was stress fractures- then shin splints- then unfit and lazy- she is being discharged for ptsd- which she displayed while being in the RCU... this whole situation, really is upsetting... she intends to try to re enlist at a later time...

We got the call that he is being separated from the navy due to anxiety and a sleep disorder. He is on ship 5 waiting to go.
Comment by Patti on April 14, 2013 at 1:01am
I might soon be part of this group my son called today and said he saw the doctor last week and they thought he had sleep deprivation , he has been having a tough time since he got to boot camp 3 weeks ago the phone call has been rough and the letter too, he sees the doctor Monday to reevaluate and see, he said when he called today they offered to send him home Thursday but he wanted to talks to us and his fiancé first.
They are concerned he is having some mental issues, depression ect? I think it is homesickness and exhaustion he also hasn't gotten any mail we sent because they moved him to a new ship and we didn't know . I am concerned for him and how he will be if they send him home.

My fiancé is being medically discharged from bootcamp with an injured shoulder and depression he went to legal Friday now what?? And he usually calls every other day do they get to call home on the weekends?
Comment by Modopup on December 11, 2012 at 4:31pm

My daughter left for bootcamp on the 5th.  Heard from her today that because she was treated for depression in middle school they are discharging her.  this simply does not seem right or fair.  Anyone have any insight?  why should something that happened so long ago and has not re-occured be cause for her discharge?

Comment by NavyWifeForLife on October 25, 2012 at 12:57am

guess i belong to this group now, my husband is being medically discharged from boot camp. how does this whole thing work? the doctors diagnosed him with depression which is totally out of character for him

Comment by Proud Mama on July 17, 2012 at 3:11pm

my daughter was dischared from Boot Camp back in August and was told she could re-inlist after her medical condition was resolved -this has occurred - the problem seems to be that her paperwork does not specificly note her medical condition -only something like 'erroreous enlistment' - she was directed to contact, i forget now just who, to have that done BUT has never been able to get an answer at the number provided -and there is no opportunity to leave a voice mail to leave info or request a call back -- Initially she was told that when her medical treatment was complete she would simply need to take a letter to MEPS from her Doctor confirming treatment and cure....as noted above, she can not do that before having her specific med condition noted on her discharge papers ---hoping that someone out there can give some guidance on getting this done - she's been calling the number given for a couple of months and is anxious to reinlist.  Any advice/direction appreciated
