Does anyone know if there is a requirement for a SeNav reveiw prior to discharge on grounds of "pattern of misconduct?"
If yes, how would I verify that SecNav approved discharge prior to my command to sign my discharge paperwork?
Remember, I am not an attorney or in the military, I am a neuroscientist and expert witness in the civilian world.
If I had more of the facts I might be better able to advise or give you a plausable explaination for why your disability or the treatment of it caused your misconduct. You never answered my direct questions needed to advise, which could be preceived as insobordination in the corps.

Below are contact links for the west coast you should be able to contact today and start your appeal, also you may want to turn yourself into the closest VA hospital for a thorough psychological and neurological workup while you are still covered. Also ask for ADA accommodations, possibly more time etc.
I think you may be right but I cannot be sure because some of it will depend on the facts insofar as procedures.
