Hi , I decided to not continue with the navy and finish college instead , but was wondering all I have to is message the recruiter to release me from dep and that’s it? I heard from others they may ask you to go in person to do a final signature but I’m leaning into not doing that since I know they are going to try and convince me last second.
Hi, so I’m a junior in college and around 7 months ago I decided i wanted to join the navy due to me failing a class and my aid got taken away which meant I had to take loans, and I was like fuck it ima drop out since I had a interest on the military for a while. I started the process on papers and stuff and randomly the university gave me my aid back for some reason I still don’t why to this day, and I asked some people and even they don’t know. I retook the class which was accounting and passed it then passed all the classes I had that semester and now just finished another semester of passing. I have 93 credits and I talked with my brothers and friends and they support me going to the navy , but they said isn’t it smarter to just finished another semester college and then think about joining again which is may 2027. Thought I already swore in and everything and ship date is July, and I’m very stuck in a bubble there’s half of me wanting to join and try a new experience and how college will always be there to go back, and another part of me saying to stay finish get that business management degree. I don’t know and if I do decide since I’m in dep do I just text my recruiter I’m done and that’s it? Need advice please 🙏.Forgot to mention but I needed waivers for my eye and anxiety and got approved and feel bad for my recruiter that I did all that just to not go
I had high blood pressure at MEPS the first time, so I had to get a note from my personal doctor saying I was good since I get really nervous. I was wondering if they check blood pressure again on the shipping date or when I arrive at Navy boot camp. I remember at MEPS they checked mine like five times, and each time I got more nervous, and I do have a history of high bp due to nervousness but they approved me.
