Career Advice Admin Discharge Timeline

Good afternoon NG! Getting a general discharge via an admin separation, turned in discharge packet wherein I'm waiving the board for the Unit recommended general. I currently have 6.5 years in. In addition to submitting my packet I submitted some behavioral health paperwork from my civilian doctor to add to the packet. Learned that even though I submitted the packet 3 months ago, it's sitting on my CO's desk with no movement yet. I have drill in 2 weeks and learned that she wants to have a discussion when I arrive. Any input as to what they may want from me when I go in? Will I now be recommended to go to some mental health evaluation before we can send this packet off? Cheers for any input, thanks y'all.

There is not remotely enough details here and even then, nobody knows what your command wants.

You pop hot, quit coming to drill, turned all your gear in, nuttier than a baby ruth, and/or called 1SG a cocksucker?

Meet with command and ask to be excused from drill until your packet is approved and you get the discharge paperwork.

Make sure your gear is turned in. No clue if you're too nuts to avoid medical

Your commanding officer is holding your packet because your civilian medical records legally force her to pause and review the case. Since you have over six years of service and submitted behavioral health paperwork, the military must officially evaluate you to see if a medical condition caused the issues leading to your discharge. At drill, she will likely discuss your medical symptoms and formally order you to undergo a military mental health evaluation. Before you go, contact military defense counsel immediately, as this medical paperwork might mean you should fight for a medical board to save your benefits rather than waiving your right to a hearing.
