For inquiries regarding a recruit’s separation, please contact the Recruit Training Command Legal Department at 847-688-4949, Option 1 and then Option 7.  If no one answers or it is after normal business hours, please leave a detailed message. Before any information can be disclosed to anyone besides your recruit, they must fill in an “Authorization to Release Privacy Act Protected Information” and specifically name the individuals to whom they wish to release the information.

Q. What are the most common reasons for separation from Navy?

   b. Recruits who serve in the Navy more than 180 days are typically separated with a characterization of “General Under Honorable Conditions” unless the reason for separation was due to any type of misconduct.

Q. Will the type of separation my recruit receives negatively impact their ability to obtain civilian or government employment or receive federal benefits (i.e. federally-subsidized loans)?

A. It is up to the company’s hiring authority whether to take into consideration any prior military service in their hiring decision.
