My daughter is in restriction for failing her urinalysis testing. She took a pain pill for her IUD severe pain and this med was not prescribed for IUD pain. She had the pain med left over from her wisdom teeth being pulled. She had seen the doctor several times and all they would give her was ibuprofen. She put her pain med on her form before taking the urine test and was completely honest. Now, she is in restriction and they are telling her she will be kicked out. What the hec. After 2 1/2 years of service and her officers have spoken highly of her performance, they just remove you?

Sorry to hear it, but the Navy has gotten very, very strict now. And military doctors aren't the greatest with pain management, never have been.

Depending on the type of discharge, she should check her veteran benefits, if any.

dotors allways tell you never take left over meds. for other things......never carry meds without doctor orders in your car or on you. always keep them in bottles that they came in.....

what rate is your daughter and rank
Comment by mominga on June 22, 2010 at 11:10am
Okay, thanks for all the advice. my doctors over 30+ years have never told me to carry doctors orders with my prescriptions. But, that is beside the point. We realize the Navy has strict rules. We realize the Navy can do whatever they want. I just thought there would be someone that would know the protocol to pursue her defense. Like you said, it may well be she is just going to be kicked out due to insubordination regarding the rule of taking a medication not prescribed for what she took it. She should have said her wisdom teeth were still hurting. The prescription dispensing date was June 1, 2010. Which meant she could take the meds right up to that date and ot afterwards. She was tested in late April. So, she theoretically could still be taking her wisdom teeth pain meds until the prescription date expired. She is an E3 and works in Aviation.

Im not definite, but possibly, this could be her third strike. She may have had Captains mask before and not giving me the story. So, we will see. She is in the restriction and not calling us at all. We had to send a text stating we are going to contact red cross if we do not hear from her. That is when we all of the sudden started getting replies.seems a little mysterious. but we are here, and she is there. She will be OTH and lose her benefits that she has worked for 2 1/2 years. Lesson of life.

my daughter gets out of the Navy on Friday under OTH. She insists she has been shafted, violated and treated unjust. She said this was not a third strike. it was a one time thing.should she seek outside council?
