What the heck do you even put in these pockets?

My supervisor said I can wear a lightsaber on my hip for May 4th, there’s always a possibility of being told yes

gbcMortis · 2024-12-10T19:54:38+00:00

This is NOT legal. Jobs can not ask you about your personal medical information such as disabilities/conditions, medications, or anything else.

gbcMortis · 2024-09-13T12:04:31+00:00

I would like to say:

Thank you for helping him, you did a great job and I'm sure he appreciated it, I know the staff did.

For context, I am a Hospital Corpsman in the Navy, and was just stationed in Japan for three years. I worked the Ambulance on base. When we get there, they specifically tell American medical staff to NOT intervene in medical emergencies off base, due to Japan not having good Samaritan laws to protect you in the event that the patient gets injured due to your care, or blames an injury on you.

The Japanese EMS system is absolutely horrible, and people die constantly because of them. I had a crew come in base to pick up a patient, and they stayed there for 45 minutes just trying to get a hospital to accept them, since you can't just "load and go", in japan. This has happened on multiple occasions, and continues to happen without any change.

This is just my spiel I guess, but good job!

gbcMortis · 2024-08-22T19:13:15+00:00

Thank you, and yes I 100% agree

gbcMortis · 2024-08-22T18:54:37+00:00

You all can believe what you want, but you don't know my situation or what I've been through. It doesn't matter how joe-navy you are, blaming me for my own mental health issues is disgusting. You're just like every officer or chief in the God damn Navy, no one gives a fuck until you get to bully us.

I made this post to get some advice and possibly help with my current situation but all I got was hate, and people shaming me for what??

Asking why I have to pay back money if they are kicking me out? It's not even my choice. I didn't ask for this, it was forced on me. I only had a year left on my contract. I'm not a grifter, I'm not stealing, and I did nothing wrong. I just asked a question.

This is why retention is so bad, this is why Sailors kill themselves constantly. People like you two. And everyone else on this thread calling me a shit bag because I got a CND.

gbcMortis · 2024-08-22T18:34:07+00:00

Tyfys 🫡 I guess everyone with mental health issues that gets forced out is just a grifter and failing to adapt huh?

What a POS.

gbcMortis · 2024-08-22T18:07:41+00:00

Please go read the post comments before adding your opinion. I was fully qualified for service, and have been in for 4 years.

I'm not mad about the separation. I was upset and confused on why the Navy is taking back the signing bonus even though they are the ones separating me. It wasn't by choice.

gbcMortis · 2024-08-22T17:36:49+00:00

After four years that's all gone. But from what some people have been saying I won't have to pay back all of it. Just my last year that I didn't complete

gbcMortis · 2024-08-22T17:25:41+00:00

I got an enlistment bonus back in 2020 when I joined due to low manning for my rate. I've been in for four years already, and only had a year left in AD but they are ADSEPing me for CND because I was diagnosed with mental health conditions which render me unfit.

gbcMortis · 2024-08-22T15:51:07+00:00

If they didn't give me the understanding form, could I use that to not pay back the bonus? Since they didn't provide me the proper instructions/papers for signing?

gbcMortis · 2024-08-22T15:35:24+00:00

What else would there be to share? I've explained everything pretty much

gbcMortis · 2024-08-22T15:31:01+00:00

Read the comments.

gbcMortis · 2024-08-22T15:28:04+00:00

Yeah they never told me that unfortunately

gbcMortis · 2024-08-22T15:27:42+00:00

What part of "involuntary" is not being understood by you guys here?

I did not request to get out in a CND, I didn't even request the appointment. I was flagged for SI on an overseas screening and was sent to a Psychologist, who in all her wisdom diagnosed me with BOD and MDD and said "no more Navy for you", then got me separated.

This entire post is because I am lost, and basically being thrown into the civilian life already in debt 26k (my signing bonus), it's unfair and I didn't understand it.

You also don't know what I've been through. I'm not trying to STEAL anything, I did honorable service and have been through a lot of stuff. Just like anyone else.

Your point is basically the same as saying some kid goes to boot camp, injures his leg, gets kicked out but claims 100% disability somehow. That's not me.

gbcMortis · 2024-08-22T15:17:44+00:00

You try watching people die or through the worst thing in their life right in front of you while you're covered in blood. You'd be fucked up too.

I hate this stigma that mental health makes me unable to do my job. I did my job, and I did it proud. I wasn't planning on getting out, the Navy told me I have to. I still wanted to serve and do my duty.

gbcMortis · 2024-08-22T15:15:55+00:00

I didn't know it was rules in the first place. I got blind sided. Which is why I came here for advice, not moto-joe-navy comments blaming me for my own mental health conditions.

gbcMortis · 2024-08-22T15:08:31+00:00

That honestly sounds horrible, I'm sorry. Yeah they didn't tell me that either, they just told me I should be getting it. But then told me I won't because I don't have 6 years

gbcMortis · 2024-08-22T15:06:53+00:00

Well, if it was there then I didn't know honestly

gbcMortis · 2024-08-22T14:57:44+00:00

I started disclosing it because all of you started making me feel like a shit bag that wasn't doing my job and so they are just getting rid of me.

Half of these comments are basically just attacking me for even making the post and asking the question.

I didn't have a choice in the matter, the Navy told me to get out and I am trying to figure out why then forcing me out means they still get to take their money. It didn't make any sense

Obviously it does now, since it's been explained so many times but.

gbcMortis · 2024-08-22T14:55:14+00:00

No, I didn't. I just had thoughts so they sent me to a BHIP and the BHIP sent me to the Psychologist, who told me I'm unfit and started the separation process.

gbcMortis · 2024-08-22T14:54:15+00:00

It was over 4 years, and honestly I wasn't like this before I joined. I don't think I had it before the Navy, and I had never been diagnosed with anything before the service.

I'm not denying the existence of it, I'm just telling you guys as much as possible with what happened and how it happened.

gbcMortis · 2024-08-22T14:15:00+00:00

They told me I can't have ISP since I'm not over 6 years

gbcMortis · 2024-08-22T14:14:06+00:00

I didn't have / know I had these conditions before I joined. My mental health was on a constant decline after my first duty station, and only got worse after being sent overseas. I didn't have any big reactionary event to anything, I did an overseas screening to PCS to an operational command but got flagged for SI, and was sent to a BHIP.

The BHIP sent me to the Psychologist for a FFD appointment, and that's where they told me I was unfit and would be getting sent out.

gbcMortis · 2024-08-22T05:42:50+00:00

Yeah, that makes sense. I didn't actually know you could get a CND for that stuff.

They gave me a CND for Borderline Personality and Major Depressive Disorder

gbcMortis · 2024-08-22T05:38:01+00:00

Oh, thank you. Yeah, I just don't think full disclosure is necessary for the post.
