It's so depressing that the navy is letting our children down. I just wish we knew when he would be home. If they don't want them in Navy and they are using the anxiety as a reason to get rid of them then they need to send them home faster! Does anyone know if he will come home in Navy clothes or will he get to go but some regular clothes?

Just got a call today from our son that he is bring sent home. He's been in BC for 3 weeks and hurt his back. He went to Medical and they told him he was having anxiety issues and they were discharging him. He is so upset and we are too. Do you not think anyone in BC has some anxiety? He said it would be 2 to 3 weeks before he gets to come home! Sounds like the navy throws around the anxiety word alot!

I pray everyday that she does get to re enlist. She called yesterday that she had briefing on Monday. I talk to her and encourage her to make sure she read between the lines, don;t be afraid to ask question and let them know you want to come back. She says its about 17 days before legal. Awww the anxiety is killing me

NavyMomYve,,, my daughter went through the same SEPS and it took several weeks,, however mine is reenlisting too,,, the nice thing is all the time spent on that base counts towards your time if you reenlist.. so my daughter has basically 98 days of seniority for faster pay raise the next go round.  So it is not all bad... It does take time to get all recruits through separation for several reasons,,, physical issues,,1) they can not travel til the Navy feels they are fit for travel because it is on them if recruit is still injured 2) they have time there being counseled on what their discharge is and has so many days to appeal right then and there (kind of like a mortgage you don't get money asap because of right to rescind) 3) Paper work is sent back and forth Washington to make sure all i's are dotted and t's are crossed..and amongst all of that they are debriefing them to come back to civilian life...like watching movies, ordering food from off base,, I realize people who have never been in the military do not realize that even after a few weeks recruits learn a different way of life.  Hang in there,,, your recruit will make the right choices for them.  She may be encouraged if you tell her the time will count for her if she reenlist... I know we as parents worry when things don't go as our kids planned and worry about their well being,,, trust in the Lord.  The kids, no.. adults, even if they are our kids,, will make it through and come out stronger than you could ever imagine!!!  Keep us posted,, we will be praying for her!

OMG Just reading all of this sound so much like what my daughter is going thru. On Aug. 22 she was send to medical because her left knee was swollen and was feeling tingling in her left arm and numbness. She had to wait til the 28th for a follow up  if she didn't want to be discharged which she didn't. She was given pain killers for the pain and was put in LLD. She called us for the 1st time on Sept. 2, saying she is much better a little sore but she was gonna stick it thru. Now on 9-5 we received a call that she is on Ship 5 because of the Tendonitis on her knee and also depression and anxiety. Really? She was so disappointed in herself about being sent home. But I did all that I could and told her she did all she could and that what matters. Now its the long wait to when will she be sent home.

Many are in SEPS now going on 3 1/2 weeks and have yet to see legal, 1 was just over 1 month and just saw legal for the first time, no date yet on when he will be home yet either, usually you see legal twice or have to wait for the departure lists to come out and see if your name is on it

There is also a facebook SEPS/Ship 5 group if your on facebook?  You should check it out too....https://www.facebook.com/groups/535221726514465/

NavyMomYve, do your best to hang in there and encourage her to focus on plan B now.  The normal time in Seps is averaging about 38 days once they arrive on Ship 5, so it is not a quick discharge process.  I am so sorry
