I don't even know what to ask.  I'm at a total loss.  My niece SR is being sent home.  I'm on here trying to find the right info to pass along to my SIL and when I'm writing to my SR.  I just want to say the N4M website and all the groups have been a blessing these past few weeks.  I don't know how our family would have gotten through without the info and support that is available here.

My son has been in FIT since 8/8/13. He still cant pass his run and he also has shin splints.  He told me he has like 4 more attempts or he will be seperated and will have to go back in 6 months and do boot camp all over. Now will he really goback in 6 months or is that what they tell the SR's? Or he said he could take a medical seperation stay for like 3 more months and he said they told him he will get half his pay and half medical for life. He has been in boot camp since 6/18/13 but he was in DEP for almost a year.

Yes plus it will soon be the start of the new fiscal year for the Navy too...:)  All things are possible if you keep trying, not easy by any means, but certainly worth giving it your all....:)

We have been hearing that about waivers not being accepted (this from some Navy personnel) right now...however, I did see a post recently from a mom whose SR had his waiver accepted in the past year and went back to Bootcamp.  So....keep trying!

alohacoffee,,, contact your congressman/congresswoman to ask them for help.  They sometimes can write letters and contact who needs contacted.  Give them a try.  If this is what he wants don't stop looking.  Where are you located at??

Hi NavyMonYve... have you heard anymore?  Praying for you all!  Most recruits separated come home in their PT gear for those wondering.  I don't want to be mean to anyone on here ,, they are going through a hard time but I have to say the Navy does not over fill jobs,,, anyone who passes everything has their job waiting.  My daughter has been waiting weeks now to find out for sure if she has to wait the full 6 months or if because of her discharge code that she could go back sooner..  I am not happy it is  taking so long but there is so much red tape to get correct information.  Take care and praying for all recruits!!!

I am sorry,,, for those who don't know, I was in the Navy too,, so I speak from experience.  I don't want you all to think I am just running at the mouth.

Please read my comment, I think it is 8 down on this list.  After posting that I spoke to my daughter and she said if she would not have had the several weeks in separation she would not have been ready to come to civilian life... recruits don't know it then but she was so thankful for that adjustment time.  The Navy does know what they need.  They are giving the best care to our children.  Anxiety is high on the radar,,yes boot camp is very stressful and that is why there is a boot camp,,, if someone has issues there,, military may not be for them due to many reasons, including the safety of the other military people during conflicts every sailor and soldier needs to know his fellow sailor/soldier is strong and they can turn their back and be sure they are safe with the other person doing their job and not having an issue at a dangerous time.  I realize in civilian life people may never experience anxiety but stress does make it is show it's ugly head.  Most people don't even know they could have it.  I hope nobody takes this an insult as it is to help all understand why anxiety is an issue.  Anxiety does not have to be an attack,, it can be simple words of feelings,, please trust these people they do not want anyone getting hurt or killed if they miss someone that has the tendencies to have full blown anxiety under stress.  If someone has never been to boot camp they don't realize they prepare you for worst case scenarios,,, I know some say well this person won't be on the front line,,,their job may not be there but they could at anytime be reassigned, even on front lines,  to help wherever bodies are needed, that is why boot camp exist.  The schooling afterwards is really for your job.  I pray for all your recruits to do great things in life and if it is military encourage them to try again,, they will have to time to regroup and have a heads up of what they are heading into the next go round.  God Bless!!
