So my son is in Pensacola right now and he got two letters of recommendation for seperation from medical and mental health. About how long is the process supposed to take? Both forms got submitted about a week ago.

It can take about a month.  They should be having him do the separation course, TAPS, which he might have to do online.  It is so he knows what is available to him after he separates.

That is not a hard an fast timeline, it can vary widely.

Okay so about a month or so till he get to come home then?

Probably, best case scenario.  Be aware it could be longer.  At least he'll be paid, fed, and housed until he separates.  

I think they give them a bus ticket, not air fare.  He may want to check on that, I could be quite wrong.

Okay I forgot to add he's only been in for less than 180 days. Are the chances of him getting separated high?

Without knowing details, I can't say for sure.  I can only share what I've seen first hand.  Some are processed out easily, others take some time because if it is medical, they might need to wait for appointments and specialists... or they may just be cut loose.  really hard to say.  Also depends on the base they're at.

How close is he to 180 days?  That is the bar for VA benefits.  

Of course if he and the Navy are not a good fit, it is best to take the separation and move forward on a different path.  It surely is not for everyone.

I really want him to come home if he doesn't wanna be there
My son was diagnosed with seperation anxiety and failure to adapt and he's only be in for 3 months.

From what you have written, it is best for your son that he separates now instead of waiting until the Navy transfers him to the fleet.  The first two years in the fleet can be very challenging for young sailors, especially young sailors who no longer want to be in the Navy.  Your son will more than likely receive a general (under honorable conditions) discharge.  

I mean he's started the process already he submitted two separate letters of recommendation for seperation. One was submitted to CPC on base and the recommendation was made by medical and the other one was submitted to legal by mental health. They submitted them about a week ago. How long till he gets word back? And also as I mentioned before he's been in for about 3 months. Would that be a factor in how fast the process him out ? I just want him back home
How long it takes to out-process your son will depend on his chain of command. It is much easier to get out of the Navy today than it was when I served. However, if his chain of command deems him salvageable, the probability of your son receiving an early discharge will drop to near zero.
Does that happen often where they don't release people?
