Prior Enlisted Accepted to NAPS no longer wants to go to NAPS or the Academy

[Wednesdaynight]

What happens when a midshipman candidate decides they no longer want to attend the academy or NAPS. Are they sent back to the command they previously came from or sent where ever the needs of the Navy are? Do they get to finish the remainder of their contract with the same rate?

NavyHoops answered the question well in the USNA forum, but the Answer is, "it probably depends upon your remaining time in service, your rating, and of course, the ever important "Needs of the Navy." My experience was long ago, and I recall that the prior enlisted guys who left NAPS seemed to hang around alot longer than the civilian types...I would expect that they were going through the detailing process and getting orders (while the Civilians were sent home). I suspect its unlikely they would go back to their former command, as that billet was likely backfilled as soon as you got orders to leave , but perhaps possible if the Command asks for you back.
