What Can Get You Sent Home From Bootcamp

Literally ANYTHING.

I was in SEPS from July to August and it was literally anything. We had new people every single day, even at one point, up to ten in a day. Their issues ranged from mental health (OCD, anxiety, self-harm, etc), physical problems (foot pain due to the boots, migraines, injuries, pregnancy), to even just not wanting to be in the Navy anymore. Most were P-Days and stood up at the Moment of Truth, some were even graduated sailors. It's really dependent on your condition and severity and what the doctors do/tell you.

If I remember correctly, and after hearing it later from several SEPS'd females, RCU is no longer around, so it's likely that not passing your PFA or the swim is now included in the separations.

As long as you're not stupid and you follow directions, you're fine. You honestly have to try to get kicked out. Since the Navy already paid you to get to basic, they are not going to just kick you out for stupid reasons. They want their moneys worth out of you.

As for ways to get kicked out: Failure to follow directions, mental problems, health problems, and just plain out wrong shit like suicide thoughts or breaking the rules after not being told not to 50 times.
