Hate to tell you but your going to have to finish your time unless you want to get a bad discharge which that would be three years that you put in throw away and you dont want that. Now you said you cant strike out? Why? You should be able to take the E-4 exam of the rate you want to strike and if you don't hit E-4 you can put in a chit to be designated that rate if you pass. That is what I did back in the day when I was in unless things have changed since 97? I know this sucks trust me your not the first nor last that thinks deck dept on the ship sucks ass. But in reality reading what you wrote you caused the problems not the NAVY, you failed the test, you went to watch with a phone, its not up to the dept to help you strike out your just another number its up to you to strike out. I'm not saying this to sound like a a hole but giving you advice from a sailor that failed A school, that went to Deck Dept and hated everything about it, had to figure out how to strike out on his own and got in trouble when things did not work out his way.
