When they sent Chris home, they initially said he would travel by bus, but eventually they gave him a plane ticket most of the way home, He almost got stranded just 120 miles from home (no cash for us to get gas or a bus ticket - between paychecks) but everything worked out and we got him home.

Oh, no! That's awful. Unfortunately young people make bad decisions. The military can be the worst place to make those bad decisions, and our kids pay for it. Do you know much more about what happened yet? Hopefully he can work through this and come out a better man for it.

Hi. My son just told me today he is getting processed out due to drug use. I am devastated, sick and feel lost. Next week was only his 1 year mark.

Chris went to the recruiter's office today as moral support for his brother, who is planning to join as soon as possible.
The surprise was that the recruiter seems to think he can get Chris into the Navy reserves, based on his type of discharge. Chris is seriously thinking about this, thinking it could be his (eventual) ticket back to his planned career, if he can use these four years to prove himself.
Any ideas here?

It turned out they had the wrong person. He did not have an appointment.

He hasn't filed for anything.

Did he file for disability? He is required to get a disability physical to see what rating (ie 40%) he is qualified for. If he can prove that this was a service connected disability, which it sounds like it is, he could receive disability payment for life. He really needs to make that appointment and say it really bothers him.

I don't know what to think of this one. Chris just got a letter ordering him to a Navy vet medical hospital (orthopedic) appointment in North Chicago in two weeks.
He did break his leg while in the Navy, and has some arm issues, but hasn't asked for an appointment.
Making this appointment could be difficult. He's in Denver right now.
Can anyone shed some light on this?

Chris is now working as a carpenter's assistant while he slogs through the quagmire of student financial aid. Last night he spent 10 minutes lamenting the mistake he made that effectively ended his Navy career. One split second choice, a momentary lapse in self-control. One thing's for sure, he will never make a similar mistake again. He is VERY aware of where he went wrong.

Arwen - what sucks with a General is they lose all the money they put into their education fund. It's donated. Not that he had that much money in there in the 1st place....
