<p><span>Hi! I was a recruit in SEPS in August, so I'll try and give as much info as possible. Once you get to SEPS, you will go to INDOCS the following business day. This is just you meeting with the OOD about why you are getting separated and what your options are. It all depends on your ASMO code. For example mine was 711, which is given to all mental health SEPS. Your recruit can decide to fight it, but its not worth it.

<p><span>Hi! I was a recruit in SEPS in August, so I'll try and give as much info as possible. Once you get to SEPS, you will go to INDOCS the following business day. This is just you meeting with the OOD about why you are getting separated and what your options are. It all depends on your ASMO code. For example mine was 711, which is given to all mental health SEPS. Your recruit can decide to fight it, but its not worth it. If you are sent to SHIP 5 its 99% chance you are leaving, and you can usually reenlist in 6 months. Time you are in SEPS is completely case by case. I was there for 3/4 weeks, but I knew girls who had been there for 6/7 months. PFA failures and mental health is going to be the absolute fasted. MEDBOARD and legal are gonna take forever. MEDBOARDS can include sickness and injuries, and any injury sustained at RTC is gonna keep you there until its healed. The average overall is 5-8 weeks. After INDOCS your recruit is gonna be waiting for ADSEPS(paper that sends you home) AKA purple folder. This comes roughly 3 weeks after signing your INDOCS. Then within a week your recruit will be getting a flight home. If you want information on your recruit he/she will have to sign a release so they can give out that information. I personally never met with legal, but during ADSEPS your recruit will get a packet of paper with a bunch of legal information including if they can join again or if they are getting fraudulent enlistment. Normally your recruit will get to go to the NEX twice a week to make phone calls. If he/she asks their RDC(forget what we called em in SEPS) they will more than likely let your recruit make a 10-15 minute phone call. We got them every 2 days if we werent acting like fools. They may also get lounge time where they can use a computer and check facebook and email, its like $20 for an hour. Another thing to note, the SEPS process is completely case by case. Some people could be getting out quicker for the exact same thing. I was processed out VERY quickly. 3 weeks is almost unheard of but they determined I wasnt safe there and I was sent to an external mental care facility. If you know your recruits ASMO code, I can better assist on wait times. Encourage them to go to group therapy meetings that are held daily I believe on weekdays, gets you out of the ship for a bit. All they are really doing is watching movies all day. You walk to chow 3 times a day(usually ship 11 or 14) unless you are SIQ. You arent really allowed to sleep until taps but a lot of us got away with it anyways. We tapped at 2000-2200 normally, for female SEPS thursday and friday was movie night and we could stay up past taps until 0130 and watch horror movies. SEPS is nothing like bootcamp, its unbelievably boring but RDCs cant really do anything to you at this point. Rev is VERY early in SEPS. 0400-0430 was average. SEPS recruits get chow first. To make the whole thing better for your recruit, send mail/packages. Recruits are allowed to be sent; blankets, books, coloring books, stationary(no scissors/knifes) SOME cash(for sodas/snacks on lounge days, and NEX) photos. NO medication, food, drinks, soaps, lotions, weapons(or anything that could be used as one), civilian clothes are allowed. The OOD WILL CHECK ALL PACKAGES!!! Your recruits ship number is SHIP 5, DIVISION SEPS. SEPS admin will NOT release any information to you unless your recruit signs off on it. But you will not find out anything that your recruit doesn't know. Its entirely a waiting game. Good luck SEPs <3 </span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span>IF YOUR RECRUIT IS A 711(MENTAL HEALTH) I AM MORE FAMILIAR WITH THAT SEPERATION PROCESS!! PLEASE DM ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS!! IF YOUR RECRUIT WAS ADMITTED TO LAKE BEHAVIORAL WHILE BEING SEPARATED I WAS THERE TOO. FOR LOTS OF RECRUITS IT IS A MUCH SAFER/HEALTHIER ENVIRONMENT THAN SHIP 5 IS. </span></p> Son had PIR and is now being sent home.tag:navyformoms.ning.com,2022-01-13:1971797:Topic:113059932022-01-13T19:34:45.309Zredshewmnhttps://navyformoms.ning.com/profile/redshewmn
<p>Hello,</p>
<p>My son had his PIR on 12/15/21 and became a Sailor. After graduation he was sent to the temporary hold unit (THU) while they finalized his medical waiver. He just found out yesterday that they denied his medical waiver and he was immediately sent to Ship 5 SEP. We are both devastated.</p>

<p>He had a diagnosis of ADHD but hasn't been on medication for it in 3 years. We disclosed this information and they confirmed everything prior to MEPS. While he was in basic training he did get ASMOD once and they also found a thyroid issue. They eventually cleared him of the thyroid concerns so I assume his separation is due to the ADHD diagnosis.</p>
<p>I am trying to get him to appeal, but he is so discouraged and disappointed right now that he is not interested. He also has heard that appealing can take up to a year and he doesn't want to sit in Ship 5 for that long. Does anyone know the appeal process and how long it can take? I truly hope he appeals it, but now that he is an adult this is all his choice. </p>
<p>Thank you.</p> Son hurt and coming hometag:navyformoms.ning.com,2021-08-28:1971797:Topic:112934012021-08-28T16:00:56.068Zredshewmnhttps://navyformoms.ning.com/profile/redshewmn

Can anyone give me hope that, after some physical recovery at home, he can reenlist? In his phone calls home he was in tears, applogizing for failing. I told him that he didn't fail, his body did and that we will work on it. He was so happy at GL-loved his division, loved his RDCs and Chief.

What kind of support is there for these kids who are in this situation? How can I help him once he is home? Is there anyone I can call for further information? I know that he will want to go back, is that even an option? He is a kind, quiet and soft spoken kid. Maybe this really isn't for him and we have to look at that. I just want to give him the best support possible. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi all,<br />
My son shipped out to BC on the 15 of this month. Just received a call from him today saying he is being discharged. He was in great shape and no underlying medical conditions we know of. Anyone have any ideas or advice? He sounded upset on the phone. I am so sad for him. He’s been looking forward to this for so long.
