So she was this side of 35 when she enlisted, got sworn in, and was never deployed even to some kind of orientation program? Boot Camp? Testing? I’m assuming she had a college degree and attempted to enlist as an officer (ensign or a higher rank depending on her skills). The Navy just lost track of her? And she waited until 2025 to inquire? Something is missing from this story. A lot of things I suspect.
Agree there are things missing? For starters, what is her suggested legal remedy? It will be CASH. So the remaining detail is -- HOW MUCH?
My son had a friend who was in military program at college. She got a nursing degree, then got a Master’s degree in nursing. When she went on active duty she went in as a Lieutenant Commander.
Just to clarify, officers don't enlist but are instead granted a commission.
You don't enlist as an officer. You are commissioned as an officer usually after completing training through an officer accession program. You are likely to "enlist" at the E-5 pay rate for the time you are in officer training. There are direct commissioning programs as well usually for Doctors and Nurses where you are sworn in and commissioned and then attend officer orientation course to learn how to wear the uniform and put on the insignia of the rank to which you are assigned and the proper manner of saluting those who are now your superiors. Oh and its a ship not a boat unless it is a submarine and if you call a submarine a ship it shows that you know nothing about submarines.
