National Call to Service/ reenlistment option

[leaxbo]

Our son is in the national call to service (NCS) program. His 15 month active duty enlistment will be up in January. His recruiter told him that he had the option to reenlist in active duty if he wanted, rather than go into reserves. Our son absolutely loves the Navy and wants to make it a career. However, now, he is being told that all sailors on NCS must go into reserves and cannot reenlist for active duty.

We are all heart broken about this. Does anyone out there have any information or comments or suggestions on this ?? does our son have any options at all to allow him to stay on active duty ?? we'd love to hear some positive news on this !! please.......

I do not understand the Navys' position on this. Our son has a lot of college, did well in training, has been promoted to E-3, is in excellent physical condition, single. I would think the Navy would do all it could to keep young men like this on active duty and encourage them to make the Navy a career.

Our son is a Yeoman.

I find it hard to believe that in wartime they would not want to keep a good sailor in the Navy. Have him go to his CO ( using the Chain of Command of course,) and see what he hears.
