Chances of Re-Enlisting RE-3P JFV1

[Komatic]

Hi all,

In September 2010 (4.5 years ago) I enlisted in Marine Reserves 0321 recon from my home state of Hawaii at age 19. Everything happened fast and within 3-4 weeks of meeting a recruiter I was shipped off to bootcamp with no prior knowledge of what to expect. I was only in bootcamp about 4-5 weeks total and during my first 2 weeks I developed stress fractures of both femurs which made it extremely painful to attempt running the 3 miles marines was running per day sometimes. Unfortuantely this made me infamous between all drill instructors who know who I was in in different platoons even and they thought I was faking it but when the doctor saw the X-ray he noticed a lot of black spots on my femurs from stress induced leading to possible fractures if continued.

So I was sent into rehab platoon MCRB I think it was called to heal up and stayed there for about 2 weeks and did physical therapy ice stretching etc while there. I was basically just sitting there waiting to heal so I could get back into training days with a platoon. I was feeling sad because my legs werent healing and I was unable to run I didnt know how long I was going to be there so I made some stupid choices and cut the top of my wrist with some super ficial cuts via razor blade to make a scene and get attention. I had to talk with a few people and pastors etc and I told them I didn't think I would kill myself but could possibly harm myself due to my situation I was in. I felt stuck and resorted to those choices that I still carry with me today almost 5 years later.

I have a huge packet of papers I was given during my discharge that document my visit to the doctors etc and their comments on my mental status that I kept with me along with my DD214.

I was discharged after about 35 days total from arriving at bootcamp (October 18th - November 23rd) with the following information on my DD214:

Type of Seperation: Discharge
Character of Service: General
Seperation Code: JFV1
REENTRY CODE: RE-3P
Narrative Reason for Separation: Condition Not a Disability

the top of my other packet says: Convenience of the Goverment 6303.2 COG Adjustment Disorder with Depressed Mood.

"Stress Fractures to right and left femur. Expressed suicidal ideations to his senior drill instructors. Refused sign contract for safety and was observed by MHU. Was diagnosed with adjustment disorder with depressed mood by clinical psychologist and recommended to be processed for ELS to prevent risky of injury to himself. i concur with recommendation for ELS due to his medical diagnosis which renders him unqualified to continue in recruit training. "

Yea I know this is a long post and I'm sorry if it was too long but I thought if anyone had a chance to take a look at see if theres any chances of getting back in. Since then I've worked at several places held a stable job for 1+ year , became a certified fitness trainer by ISSA and started my own part time entrepreneur business. I have this feeling in my gut to try to get back and finish what I started even if I cant get back in with the USMC some military branch that will give me a second chance to fix my wrongs. All in all I'm thankful for the opportunity I had and I think looking back had I not gotten those stress fractures and was able to keep up with everyone else in bootcamp training I would have gotten a lot farther but when I was barely able to march without pain I knew things were looking grim. Right now I'm all healed up and havent had any injuries since then my weight is the same as when I left so all good there I've been a good civillian since leaving.

I sincerely appreciate anyone having the time to read this long post have a blessed day

There is zero chance. The USMC is not taking prior service Marines (we are in the midst of a drawdown). Even if you were a RE1A (no disqualifying factors), there would be no interest for your services. You will not find a prior service recruiter willing to talk to you.

Not gonna happen. Good luck in whatever calling in life you choose. I honestly have no sympathy for you.

Someone just PM'd me about something similar to this Thursday. I don't know if it was this guy or not but the question has been answered. You don't even deserve to reenlist.

Well said !!!

Anyone who cuts themselves should be allowed right back in. Is that the answer you expected to get? WTF is going on these days in this section, with questions like this one?

[Marine1011]

You are, no sht, the eighteen person or so with a stupid question. WTF is happening to our beloved Corps? Another guy wants to know if carrying tasers is ok, I said sure, as hell is okay, why wouldn't it be? Where are we getting these people, are they ARMY rejects??????

[USMCARivera]

It's mind boggling. I get these types of questions on a daily basis.

[USMC 2571]

It really is mind boggling, and the reason, I guess, is that what answer would someone expect to hear to some of these questions? "Yes". Yes, you can carry tasers on a USMC base, yes, you can come right back in under the circumstances outlined above----I think they think they are entitled to do this or that and just--cannot--believe--it--ain't--true....that is what is mind boggling. This mindset that says hey, I'm ok, you're okay, everything is ok, anything goes. I want to do whatever I want to do, and the Corps should keep up with my desires.

[USMC 2571]

Of course this started at home, long ago and far away.

Should of took Risperdal and grown some breasts.....to go with the rest of the anatomy..........

[USMC 2571]

Amen, brother Chuck.

[Mongoose]

Maybe, if he had said he cut himself because of an identity crises. He thought he was a man, but turned out to be a pussy!
