My son was separated from the naval academy due to not meeting PRT standards at the beginning of his senior year. He met all requirements except the run time. He was separated in August of 2023. He elected service to fulfill his service obligation. We were told that it could take up to 3 months for him to receive his discharge and receive his orders. We have waited patiently only to find out yesterday after he had to call the personnel office that he will be discharged, but will not be receiving orders as the Assistant Secretary of the Navy elected to not let him serve. The personnel office could not provide a reason as to why they elected to not let him serve. I am wondering if anyone knows why when the Navy is currently the worst branch of our military in terms of meeting quotas would not allow someone who is able and willing to serve. If he enlists in another branch will that count as his service obligation or is he screwed and expected to pay $165,414.00. The paperwork he received refers to a section a for waivers but no section a was with the paperwork. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
