Depression & Dropping

This last year has been a mental health challenge for many college aged adults. Unfortunately, many will shy away from getting help due to the stigma and fear of the future. I wish you the best of luck.

- Will the rest of the chain look at the CO's recommendation more than the Boards?

- It is not uncommon.
- As you and your lawyer should be aware, you now have 5 business days to respond to the PNS' recommendation. Last chance to make your case before the entire package heads to Commander, NSTC and then ultimately the Asst Secretary of the Navy for Manpower and Reserve Affairs.
- Not necessarily. The entire event will be reviewed as captured in the PRB/Disenrollment package - evidence, PRB, PNS recommendation, etc. That being said, if something is missing or misrepresented in the package...address it in your response.
 
The advice from @Go Dores! comes from a person with intimate knowledge of the process. As others have said, the issue here seems to be the finding of concealment. There would have to be some evidence in support of that. Some questions come to my mind, none of which should be answered here. Is there anything in your medical history documenting past issues with depression, either before accepting your scholarship or after. Were any witnesses called that testified you had spoken of depression in the past? What was the evidence they presented to support the charge of concealment? This seems like what you and your attorney should be focusing on. Best of luck and thank you for the update.
