Prior enlisted no longer wants to Attend NAPS or USNA after accepte

[Wednesdaynight]

What happens when a midshipman candidate who is prior enlisted 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?

"It depends." I have seen some sent back to the fleet and some released from their contract. I had a Mid 4/C that was a Marine Corporal who resigned. He only had a few months left on his contract so they let him EAS. The person who could give you the best answer is the Chief in Admissions. I believe it is the same rate as what they entered at and usually a new command, but that can vary based upon contract dates.
