My son is being discharged and sent home
I received a call from my son saying he is being sent home....permanently. He didn't do anything wrong but was sent to a psychologist who made the call. I have such mixed emotions, but I am very glad that this forum gave me a chance to share my heart when it felt like it was breaking. I will continue to pray for all our sons and daughters who have committed their lives to serving out wonderful country and God bless all you moms!

I'm so sorry to hear that your son was discharged. My daughter was also sent home the day after Christmas. Her's is for medical reasons, though. She had an anxiety attach that was so bad that it restricted her airway. They had to take her to the hospital. Once it passed, she felt fine. They told her that it was Navy policy that anytime a medical situation arrises which restricts the airway, they have to send you home. She was so upset. They did tell her that she could return in 18 months as long as she doesn't have another episode. My heart goes out to your son. I hope he finds something that will make him happy. I do believe that things happen for a reason, even if we don't understand what that reason is at the time.
