RT 1 Cancellation???
My son called a few days ago to say a doctor evaluated his for anxiety. To join bootcamp he had to get mental health waivers. I had his recruiter check the computer to see where he is bootcamp and it says RT1 Cancellation. Has anyone heard of that? He has not went to separation yet. I am not sure if they are evaluating him or sending him home. Of course I am crushed that he is crushed. I know he is trying hard.

The Drs. at MEPS are not specific to a branch of service. Once recruits reach any boot camp for the military, the Drs. at that boot camp will further evaluate recruits. Marines have no medical staff, they are under the care of Navy Medicine. Between duty stations, my Navy son was assigned to the Marine boot camp as one of the base Drs. where they have clinic time and handle evaluations of “fit for duty”. Your son’s waiver would have caught the attention of staff upon arrival and been referred to medical. During the time at boot camp, recruits may be referred to medical based upon observation by training staff, injury or investigating medical information stated on the signed enlistment form.
Copied from online Navy info:
a. "RT1 Cancellation" means that the recruit has been removed from the process of joining RTC and undergoing basic training.
b. Common reasons for RT1 cancellation include medical issues, such as those requiring waivers or re-evaluation, or other administrative reasons.
c. If a recruit experiences an RT1 cancellation, they will be processed for separation from the Navy and will not be attending boot camp at Great Lakes.If your son returns home from boot camp, be proud that your son sought to serve our country!
