Separation from Bootcamp
Hi,
My daughter called hysterical yesterday that the navy separated her after 7 weeks of boot camp. I dont know the details but I believe it was the fact that she did not disclose that she had seen a therapist twice in the past for anxiety, But she wants to stay so badly. Navy was the best thing for her, I don't know what to do, she was crying and saying that she is a failure...
Do all recruites separated end up being sent home? Do any of the are recycled?

If she is in Ship 5 and made the call to you that she is being sent him, her only hope is to appeal...that can take a few months. If she is willing to fight for it, tell her to go for it. She will remain in Ship 5 and treated as a recruit the whole time though. If she gets sent home her chances of getting back in are less than 1%.
It is up to her...to fight if she wants to stay, she has to request the appeal and they give her a chance to do that before she signs the paper work, but once she signs the paper work she can't go back on what she signed.

Okay, I have been through this. My son finally got home last night after going through this horrible ordeal. First of all, she will be allowed on Facebook every other day or so if she pays five dollars per hour, so if you are on Facebook, you can send her messages right now and she will get them soon. That is the fastest way to communicate. But don't stop sending letters. They still want letters!! If she doesn't have her ATM card, mail it right away. New ship number is 5. My son was diagnosed with depression. When your daughter sees legal in around 10 working days or less, she will have to say whether she wants to fight this or not. If she decides to fight it, she will be stuck there for around 4 to 6 months and will likely lose anyway, but will get paid for all time spent there. She will get at least 2 calls home per week. They go to bed at 10 and wake up at 6. They clean and watch a lot of movies. Try to avoid having her seek any further medical attention because that will make her stay there longer. Tell her to stay away from all trouble makers because they all get punished if they are anywhere near trouble when it happens. For example, one day a recruit put a rated R movie into DVD player and hit play. They all knew they weren't allowed to watch rated R movies. My son was in bed and not even watching it, but his whole group had to sit silently for 5 hours as a punishment. My son was crying on his first call too. He felt that he had failed. Just keep positive everytime you talk to her. If you want to find me on Facebook I am Donna Cummings in Pleasant Hill, CA.
