Thank you Craig!  Sandy and I are hopeful he will share this with us.  We will just take one day at a time and respect the fact that this has affected him in ways only he can understand, just as it has affected us as only parents would understand. 

It is so amazing to us just how awesome you all are!

Michael - I was reading down through this thread and I am not sure if you know how to read a DD-214 Navy discharge paperwork.  If you do, then maybe this will help one of the members that don't.

----------------------

Alot of people wonder how to read a Navy discharge code.  These codes are only located on the DD-214 page 4, not on page 1.... 

 

I will use mine as an example. 

Here is the bottom of my DD-214 page one:

Here is the bottom of my DD-214 page 4.  Notice the extra little bit that is added on that shows the Seperation Code (Block 26) and the Reentry code, normally called the RE code (Block 27).  These codes tell most of the story.   

 

 

 

To find the Reentry Code meaning, just go to this link:

http://www.npc.navy.mil/NR/rdonlyres/7C634CC8-1D80-4FFF-97FD-455DC5...

So you can see on the Page 4, I was Honorably discharged (Block 24), I received a RE-2 since I went to the Fleet Reserves (retirement), and that I received a NBE discharge code.

To see what a NBE code is, go to this link:  http://www.navycs.com/downloads/1900_8c.pdf

(Note you must use the older 1900.8c manual since the Navy limited the viewing in the newer 1900.8d)

You can see it was because of Early Retirement.  ie I took the Temporary Early Retirement Authorty  (TERA) that was authorize from 1993 to 1996 because of overmanning.  Woo-hoo, best thing I've ever done!!!!  Got those retirement check at my 18 year point...

 

So I hope that helps you understand the way to read a DD-214 paper.  Always look for the page 4....

GP My son is in his last few shifts of MARF @ BS. Apparently some issues with the facilities is going to delay his completion of Prototype. I found out a couple of days ago that he was not chosen for ELT. He seems OK with this since he's tired of constant school.

ML - Good luck to you and your family. I have also enjoyed reading other posts during hard times.

We left rainy DFW this morning for Goose C. Our EM graduates power school tomorrow. The weather here is great right now and we look forward to a great weekend.

Bye the way, if you ever get to the airport late, 40 minutes prior to take off. They might look at you and say, "it's too late to check that bag". And they just look at you with this blank stare. You might suggest that they let you get on the plane and put your bag on a latter flight. They didn't have any clue what we should do. I look forward to going back to get our stuff tonight. : )
