I have been in the Navy for over 16 years. In 1991, I was diagnosed with Idiopathic Anaphylaxis. Everything was fine until I was stationed on my last ship. Due to a few allergy attacks, I was removed from the ship and placed on LIMDU. I had a PEB board and was found Unfit. I desperately wanted to stay in and fought the results. The board reconsidered and found me fit to continue on active duty. I had to have a sea duty screening but failed it due to a letter from the allergist. My current command sent out an assignment-limited message and BUPERS came back with Unsuitable for Operational Duty and ordered an Admin Sep. My command has done everything they could to keep me assigned there and even sent messages and letters to BUPERS asking them to reconsider. All of this has been in vain. My SPD code is HFV and my RE code is RE-3G. All I want is to be able to retire at 20 years or a medical retirement. I've contacted my congressman, and am waiting to see what happens. I've done everything I could think of to remain in the Navy. Is there anything else I can do or is this the end of my career? Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
