Statement accompanying resignation request

Members do not see this ad.

I am in the midst of submitting my request for release from active duty and seeking guidance on this attachment entitled "reasons for request..."

Is this like every other point paper, statement, etc. in the Navy in that it is not actually read or should I spend time on it and provide constructive feedback for change?

Also, if I flat out state some of the situations I have encountered that are fueling my request to leave will they be investigated? I don't want any IG knocking on my door when I'm in residency- just want to be left alone.

Thanks.

Follow your instincts here; a simple, bland, pro forma statement is all that is necessary.

Something like "I wish to pursue specialty graduate medical education and no longer desire a career as a naval medical officer."

No one who would have the ability to address concerns you might have is going to read your reasons. It is not as if you have a senior appointed officer position and are resigning unexpectedly or in protest.

Save your ink. Write "to pursue other professional opportunities" or something similar.

I said something to the extent that I desire to continue my medical career as a civilian and to live close to family in a state that the Navy has no presence.

There may be an example in the bupersman. There was for retirement.http://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-n...an/1000/1900Separation/Documents/1920-190.pdf

What I posted here is not what I wrote verbatim.

I just did it? "While I have received good training and experiences in the Navy, for multiple reason (both personal and professional) I am choosing to continue my career in the civilian sector...." It was on teh form the PS3 sent me

UPCHIT,

Do you still owe time to the Navy?

 

[upchit]

All, thanks for the advice.

@ Galo: My 4 years of active duty commitment with HPSP ends in July 2014; I still owe 4 years IRR time.

My admin department (which is notorious for not knowing anything about medical) advised me I needed to write a "meaningful" statement, which is why I was considering doing so. However, I'll stick to the "I no longer wish for a career in the Navy" statement.

Good. I concur. No one will give a crap what you write. This forum may still be the only place where you can somewhat vent your experience.

I was pretty active, but have not checked for a long while. Just one look and it looks similar to when I left.

Best of luck to you.
