My name is Marie and I am about to have 5 years in the Navy. I was in the process of doing my sea duty screening when it came back that I was unsuitable because of my migraines and dysfunctional uterine bleeding. I am fit for full duty so I don't understand what happened. My detailer said that if I got rejected by a carrier everyone else will reject me too, so I will probably be discharged.
I am not eligible for involuntary sep because I have not been in 6 years yet but my family is not ready for me to be discharged. I had not planned on this at all! How do I know if I will be admin or med discharge and is there anything I can do to try and get a medical discharge? What about a medical retirement? Am I eligible? Also, I have not heard anything about any kind of medical board or any kind of board? Is that up to me to request one?
My migraines are 2-3 times a week and debilitating. I can't do anything when I get them, I am seeing a neurologist that put me on elavil (considered a tranqualizer, and anti depressant) maxolt when I get a migraine and unisom to sleep.
What do I do?
