As quickly as possible retain the services of private representation, legal counsel that has a specialty in military personnel matters. If the Navy is trying to get rid of your husbands position, they should do it through due process. Fourteen years is too much time to serve and end up with nothing. At the least he should be retired with full benefits. Hurry time is of the essance. Paperwork tends to get lost or hidden with time.
@bamnibaum He had his board on August 22, 2011. The three high ranking military members of his board heard no witnesses and only my husband's testimony and voted to retain him. A win in our favor, so we thought. But, it's been 10 weeks since that board and PERS has yet to make a decision. It has nothing to do with the Navy doing away with his position. My personal opinion is that this is purely political and PERS is dragging its feet purposefully.
WOW your husband is lucky. I was desployed to Afghanistan earlier this year. I was working in an office where some Army sgt called me and the Navy gay, and after I complained about it, i was sent to see a pscyhologist who said I had pervasive development disorder and then the VA said I had adjustment disorder but I still had to settle for an honorable discharge from the Reserves anyway.....but you'ed think the person who called me gay should be!
@altaqqadum96 Unfortunately it is completely. It is common practice, and a huge miscommunication between sea side and medical side. Medical deems fit for full duty, but sea side do not have adequate facilities for emergency purposes. If the detailer cannot find orders for the sailor the sailor then goes to a board where a team of active duty personnel makes a recommendation to PERS.
Bobbi I had no idea this was all happening, I have been missing from the Youtube world, I hope you are doing well and I am thinking of you and your family. This is so unfair!!
Have you contact your US Senators and your US Representative from your home state? If not, I would do so now...in case the hearing does not got your way. This is very sad and I cannot tell you how shameful this is. He was allowed to sign up for an additional six years - and he is fully capable of fulfilling his duties. The Navy should have declined his re-enlist option if they "did not need him" - not make up false reasons after the fact. I am very sorry and will pray for a positive outcome
@jns1953 Hello. We have contacted so many congressional leaders, including the Armed Forces committee, to no avail. My mom and his mom have also contacted folks. I've also been in contacted with a couple of reporters, but seems they want to wait until the outcome is reached. Thank you for your support.
This is horrible. I've watched your videos from the first and I feel like ive watched your family grow and change to fit your lives in with all the bullshit the forces give you. Whatever happens please keep us updated, you are all in our prayers Bobbi.
@JustAPurpleWolf Thank you so much. I truly appreciate everyone's comments, especially those who have watched us roll with the punches during the last year. I will have an update soon! Promise! <3
I am so sad this is happening to your family and I am upset for you! Definitely sending prayers and positive energy your way that this has a VERY positive outcome.
My heart hurts for you I was near tears. My dad just got laid off after working for the same company for over 20 yrs smh. I am going to keep faith and pray that everything works out in good favor. Keep us updated...

Bobbi, I have seen it happen in all branches and yes, lately more. It's heartbreaking. You are going through such stress and heartship. Please feel embraced.
