I need your insight and support. My Boyfriend was sent to SEPS and upon receiving his phone calls etc.. He had planned on us moving in together and suddenly after he gets home he isn't speaking to me and I don't know if I need to go over and see him to make sure he is ok etc.. I don't want to seem pushy etc or to seem unsympathetic to his issues. I am not sure what exactly is going on. Any help would be great.

So I found out today that my son, in week 2 has torn a pectoral muscle and is being sent home within 2 weeks. I am expecting a call from him this weekend but am trying to figure out the process and was told by another group to join this group. I'm being told that my son should contact legal and authorize them to talk to me. This sounds pretty harsh when I'm concerned about his health. I'm just trying to find out the process for going back to BC after recuping from an injury. Can anyone help with that?

I sent a request to join the group on facebook but haven't been accepted. Does anyone know if they will receive proper medical treatment there? I have been told that his pectoral muscle is not torn, it's completely removed from the bone, but they are only stating he needs rest. Everything that I have read indicates surgery.

No opportunities for a second medical opinion?

There are a number of broken links on this page, I have to say it's not helpful. I'm simply trying to find out what kind of medical coverage he has while he is there, as of today, and can't find this anywhere in these links.

OMG...reading some of this is really scaring me...my son just called tonight to let me know he may be going home due to a medical discharge for his shoulder...he said about 10 days and now people are talking about a month or so? True? Also talking about legal and waivers? He is only 18 and no clue to these things yet.When does he get to call again? When does he get mail? Does anyone know?

brendap: Calls from your SR could be random.....when he calls again, tell him to sign whatever he needs to in order to allow you to get info if needed (otherwise they only deal with the SR). He should have a thorough medical evaluation to determine definitely if he will be "held" to heal or discharged. Lots of prayers right now for you and him....this time of not knowing I know is so hard. And, yes, if he is being separated, he will be talking to Legal to understand his options, etc. Depending on the reason for discharge, some choose to stay and fight the decision, which could be a very long process. Hoping someone else on this group will give you more specific info soon. This group isn't too active but hopefully someone who has been in your position can post soon!

brendap,,, Hopefully his discharge code will allow him to reenlist in 6 months if would like too,,, sorry I have not been on here in a while. If you get to talk to him and he is interested in rejoining,,, tell him to ask for a discharge that allows reenlistment at a later date..

RoTcMoM: When you hear from your SR, be sure to ask him to sign the papers to allow you to get info on him. Otherwise, everything is done between him and the Navy....glad he will fight it and hope it works out for him!

My son called today saying he is medically being discharged because it could take 6-12 months of recovery for Shoulder tendonitis, everywhere I have looked that recovery time seems a bit long. is there any way to contact him to get a hippa waiver signed? and try and keep him in the Navy. he really doesn't want to come home, just not given many options right now

The address for ship 5 above makes no sense to me. It has two streets on it...
SR NAME
SHIP XXX DIV XXX
XXXX STREET OR AVENUE
GREAT LAKES IL 60088-XXXX
Ship 5
3610 Illinois Street
Great Lakes, IL 60088-3118

I see the basic format:
SR NAME
SHIP XXX DIV XXX
XXXX STREET OR AVENUE
GREAT LAKES IL 60088-XXXX
And the specific address for Ship 5:
Ship 5
3610 Illinois Street
Great Lakes, IL 60088-3118

When these kids are sent home, what do they wear? Obviously, they do not have any civilian clothing! I am encouraging my son to fight this. I have never been so frustrated with the military til now. Thank the Lord that I have some contacts, and have been given info on how to fight this, as well as to make sure the "recruiter" is the one to be reprimanded NOT my son :(

Casvid, I'm so sorry. My daughter arrived in BC on 1/25 (also Ship 2, Div 920) and was sent to Ship 5 on 2/17 because of foot problems. It is so disappointing. She has decided to go to school next semester. I wish all the best for your son.

Also, Casvid, look for the SHIP 05 SEPS group on Facebook (if you're a FB person). They're very active.
