daughter in SEPS with continuous chest pain and headaches
My daughter called me last tuesday teling me that she was in SEPS and was going to be sent home on medical. She also said she spent a couple days in the hospital there with chest pain and blinding headaches. They have no idea what is wrong with her as all the tests they have run so far have been negative. She has not seen legal yet, and tells me they are telling her it can take 10-20 business days for them to process her. I am very concerned they would leave her there for possibly another two or three weeks having chest pain! Is there anything I can do from my end without getting her in trouble or making her life even more difficult? She is miserable having to leave, and she's miserable being in this limbo while having health problems.

Sorry to hear about your daughter. My son entered SEPS on 8/14 and he finally came home on 9/7. So the process is long and drawn out. My advice to you and your daughter is to tell her not to go to medical anymore. The reason being the more she goes the more she is delayed to come home(not fit for travel). My son is still sick from who knows what because he was afraid that they would delay his travel. Also if you want to speak to her call this # 847-688-7444, leave a message for her and she will call you back. This is the number at SEPS. Let them know when you call that you havent heard from her in a couple of days and that seems to work quick. I used this number to my advantage. I am not sure if there is a way you can help her..Keep searching this site and see what you come up with. But now it is all up to legal and they move like snails. Once my son was cleared it still took 2 weeks before he was home.
Good Luck and God Bless!!

Thank you for the information. She has already learned not to go to medical anymore!! It's just very hard to be patient when you know your child is sick.

They check them out to make sure they are not have a heart attack or something major. Normally it is just something minor that is wrong with them, though the can't be in the NAvy with it. She could just be having panic attacks, and may have never had them before so that she doesn't understand them.
It is the Navy way to do things, not the families way...she will be there for at least 10-20 working days before she goes home...longer if she decides to try and fight it
There is nothing you can do, excpet wait for her phone calls and for her to tell you if she wants anything done...this is her choice if she wants to fight to stay or just give up and go home.

Thanks for the info. I have come to the conclusion that it can't really be her heart or she would have been in major trouble by now. It's just that we don't know what it is, and her head is still pounding constantly. Not easy playing this waiting game.
She went to legal yesterday and told them she's not fighting it. She's very disappointed but she has to be concerned with her health, too. I am proud of her no matter what decision was made. At least she gets to call home while she's in SEPS.
So for now....we wait....
