Well if you are looking to move things along, I made contact with the Command Master Chief Matt Laing of RTC within 48hrs my son was in legal and talking to him, they had him call from legal he will be home Friday. Just saying. Good Luck.

How soon after your SR's went to ship 5 did you hear about it from them?  My SR has not sent a letter in 2 weeks and another mom in his group just posted 4 SRs were separated.

So very sorry, xsubman.  I think the problem is that the recruiter did not file for a waiver for this.  I'm not sure the length of time he was off the meds is sufficient for the Navy either.  But then again, they do as they like!  The Navy is overmanned now and so they can be very selective.  Sadly, your story about waivers not being filed is a very common story on this site re: those being separated....he is entitled to have support from Legal up there, and if you want to be involved in the process, you need to tell him the next time he calls to sign the document that allows you contact with the powers that be up there.  Otherwise, they will only deal with your SR. 

I'm so very very sorry....

SR arr GL less than 24hrs on the part of the anything to disclose SR felt it was necessary to mentioned fact that he was tx ADHD but been off meds for approximately 10mos prior to BC now being SEP was mentioned during recruiting process however no waiver was filed due to not being on meds and cleared thorough neurologist anyone with this similar experience and any positive outcome with possible appeal or reenlistment

So....we are up to the 28th day in SEPS....anyone else think this is RIDICULOUS??   My son was amazing enough to volunteer his service.....but they don't want him due to an old leg injury.....he failed no PT tests mind you, it was just sore one day......so if they don't want him SEND HIM HOME!!!!!!!!1

donnad thanks for your insight. I agree with you there is a better plan for our loved ones. It is just hard to know their original plan didn't work out. Its all a learning process for sure.

It was been six months since my son came home from SEPS and some time that I have been away from this page as well as the FB SEPS page.  I needed a break, as some of you might imagine!  I agree with so many of the comments and remember back to the day I received the call from my son who was transferred to Ship 5.  Disbelief, pain, anguish....no other way to describe it.  I will tell you that it is unfortunate but not only the Navy who is separating these brave young men and women for little to no reason. (My son hurt his knee in BC was told he had little to no cartilage in it.  Long story short - not the same story our Orthopedic doctor has said!). My son's best friend who left for Marine Corps BC the same week my son left for GL is being separated from the Marines.  Was told that there are hundreds of recruits headed to BC (Marines/Navy) and if you cannot score in the top of your class in the school you have selected, you are O U T!  My son's best friend, coming home - has to start all over again.  At least he has my son who has been through it all to help him with his transition.  As hard as SEPS is (living on Ship 5), tedious the entire process is, all will be well in the end.  There is a great new path in life waiting for your sons/daughters/loved ones.  All part of the greater plan.  Hang in there, everyone.  God bless you all!

Cookiechand so sorry to hear this news. My son had to wait almost two weeks to see legal (not as long as you) but it did take awhile. He too left with a bad taste in his mouth about the whole waiting period. I hope all goes well with you and your son. I do recommend that he go see administration not sure where that is but they are the ones who made the appointment for my son to see legal. He was fed up waiting for them to contact him so he did it himself. See if that helps. Good luck!

So, my son has been in Ship 5 since 12/19 and STILL HAS NOT SEEN LEGAL.  He says he feels like he is in prison and is now being told that legal may be closed next week for the weather.  I CANNOT UNDERSTAND that.  He is being seperated for something they already gave him a waiver for, now he has been robbed of his holidays and has to continue to be stuck while they get to take off because it is cold.   This is CRAP!  Today he said he officially hates the Navy.
