<p>What are the chances for readmission to USNA if resigning for an honor's offense? The readmission instructions state "what you have been doing in he inerim to corect any deficiences that led to seperation." I have been told it is not impossible with an honor's violation but it is difficult. what steps can be taken to prove the person has become mature, handled the issue and can sell themselves again?"</p>
<p>Did you resign, as you said, or were you involuntarily separated?</p>
<p>What ideas do you have about righting this ship? What have you been doing? Might be better places to begin in responding to your fair questions.</p>
<p>Re: readmission, not sure if it is impossible or otherwise, but I am sure it is no slam-dunk on the best day. Swimming upstream like never before.</p>
<p>resigned. currently am trying to find a remediation procedure that will walk through what would have taken place at USNA. transferring to civilian college and will take classes that I missed by the resignation. have looked at NROTC college option, too many semester hours for the scholarship option. have spoken to unit commander twice and a meeting is being scheduled to discuss further. have returned to my spiritual roots, have matured immensely by this situation and am working with a retired rear admiral who is also a pastor. beginining of the plans and that is why I am asking what can I do to walk this path and be remediated even if not readmitted to USNA. in or out it is a lesson learned. I am open and honest about all that happened. my error, I did wrong and I was immature and screwed up. never been in trouble at all and then one error and it is an eye opened experience. but if I can work to get readmitted, I would take it.</p>
<p>Sounds like you are really working and growing in positive ways. Consider keeping a journal where you can express this difficult journey. </p>
<p>Thanks for sharing. While none would wish this upon you or others, your experience might well be one of the more important revelations for candidates who succeed in becoming Midshipmen. </p>
<p>Seems to me you are well on the way to recovery and healing. Keep it up. Keep looking Up. You’ve found the only One who can save any of us from our missteps. You’ve plenty of company on both sides of the error. Blessings and all the best to you. I’m hoping some others might have some productive counsel for you in this part of your journey. </p>
<p>Seems to me that no matter how this short term concern concludes, you will make an exceptional leader for the Navy and beyond. And I’m betting that to the degree you are given opportunity to genuinely, openly gain reconsideration, you will win that battle. Get there. But if it doesn’t happen, remember, USNA is NOT the end game. I trust you know that now.</p>
<p>Just received discharge papers and find they gave a RE-3K which means I cannot re-enlist without a waiver. Any thoughts on if I should continue down the path to try to change that next year and still attempt readmission or just move on for good? I still have a dream of being an officer. Some say hard but maybe but others say no way. One thing I have learned is how fast a simple untruth can upset an entire life. I am still seeking remediation, but am surprised by the RE-3K</p>
<p>Well, you are in huge, if not necessarily “good” company in your discovery! Learn from a hard lesson.</p>
<p>I sense you are genuinely repentent of your mistake, humbled by your punishment, and ever-more focused on what it is you want. </p>
<p>Mine is nothing more than a gut reaction to your pondering on this forum, but I’m inclined to tell you … "Go for it!’ realizing life doesn’t always have fairytale or made-for-Hallmark TV endings. You might well fail. </p>
<p>But I believe far more than the average Mid candidate, you have experience and understanding about what is meant by honor, honesty, service, etc. You’d have no need to contrive a powerfully compelling and captivating essay. </p>
<p>I believe you need some additional counsel on this. Who nominated you the first time around? How could you gain an audience with the Dean of Admissions? What might be your purpose of those interviews? To courageously, honestly discuss if and how you might pursue re-appointment, and NOT could you be reappointed. If either of those counselors say nay? Then it may be time to move on. </p>
<p>Perhaps you should prepare a very careful, thoughtful, candid letter seeking those meetings. Others may have more insightful, promising, specific counsel on this. I’m inclined to think that my first meeting might be with my MOC. He/she is there to help in matters, perhaps like this one.</p>
<p>You see, odd as it might seem, there is a very powerful and significant “upside” to your failure in all of this. What is that? Well, IF you were given a 2nd chance, you might well turn out to be one of the greatest examples of how a USNA appointment really CAN transform young men and women born to the cultural manor into transformational leaders. </p>
<p>btw, IF you need some encouragement, maybe read McCain’s book. Lord knows he was a total flop as a Midshipman and young Navy student pilot. And another is “The Admirals.” Read how the greatest leaders in naval history drove ships onto sand bars and failed in many ways before being put in positions to become our heroes. Maybe you might be one just like them! ;)</p>
<p>Thanks for the encouragement. I am beginning classes Jan.7. Varsity swimming is back in my life. New school was quick to grab me. Met with NROTC LT and a meeting with NROTC Captain is coming up soon regarding college option program but that re-enlistment code could be an issue. However, it can waived if they decide to try. I am willing to give it a go because unlike at USNA, the process did not let me speak at all. This Captain is at least interested enough to have a meeting. Nothing ventured, nothing gained is what I figure. Giving it to the ONE. Afterall prayer is letting God take control. Learning fast. Well into mentoring with retired officer and spiritual advisor. Beginning community service next week because giving may make my heart grow in all the right ways.</p>
<p>Anyone now how navy2015 is doing? Did the NROTC opportunity come to fruition? Impact of that re-enlistment code?</p>
<p>Just checked in today. No the NROTC did not work out. first the NROTC Captain met and promised he would do everything possible to help with College option as there is no expectation of having a scholarship. he said he could not promise but he did promise to try. He said he could see genuine interest in desire to remediate and become and officer. Captain had LT. send application and returned immediately to them. Waited for holidays to end and then started classes this past Monday. Recevied an e-mail from Lt. that he had spoken to skipper and they decided to not do it. College option in area is currently full and it would be difficult to reach advanced standing next year. </p>
<p>Lt. suggests a few semesters along with sport and excel in both and then try OCS. But that makes us doubtful that OCS will be an option as long as I have a RE-3k code. </p>
<p>very disappointed but moving on. I am searching for someone from Navy to help me remediate by their standards. started classes. am swimming and bringing my times back to old standards and setting goals. </p>
<p>I am searching for an attorny to pursue changing reenlistment code. not much money to use, but my desire to serve is still there. I understand I told a lie. I was immature and stupid and my dreams of olylmpic trials collided with my desire to serve. but this re-enlistment code seems very heavy handed. Can’t understand how a 19 year olds stupidity cannot be learned and remediated. </p>
<p>thanks for asking about this though. still praying for guidance.</p>
<p>You’ve made a mistake. You’re paying a steep price. You are a good man, stronger and better for your mistake. You’re building your relationship with your Creator. </p>
<p>Keep working at these things, strive to do your best, be confident you will be found worthy of His plans for you. Here’s that they might coincide with yours. Thanks for sharing a painful experience that others might learn from you.</p>
