I am in the Navy, as a second class Nuclear Electrician's Mate. I have been in the Navy for about 2.5 years with another 5.5 on my contract, and am soon going underway for the first time. I have already reenlisted once and received the first half of my SRB (Pre-tax 37.5K out of 75K total)
I recently discovered that I, in all likelihood, have a sleep disorder called REM Behavior Disorder. I have not had an official doctor's diagnosis, but talked off-the-record to a specialist, as I don't want it on my record before I know the consequences, but I'm almost entirely sure this will get me medically discharged, as the treatment is an anti-anxiety drug (Clonazepam) and if I were to just ignore it the symptoms I'm experiencing are likely, if not guaranteed to show themselves at some point on the submarine.
My questions here are, if I were to go to a doctor for this, and I was to be medically discharged:
-Would I have to pay back the half of the SRB I've received, and if so would I be charged for the post-tax amount, which was around 26k, or would I be paying back the full 37.5k? Further, would this be all at once or would I get a payment plan?
-Would I still have my G.I. Bill benefits?
-Would Tricare cover me post-discharge, at least for the medication and treatment of the RBD?
-What type of discharge would I receive as a result of this?
If possible sources to answers would be extremely beneficial, but any educated answer would give me at least a starting place. Thank you in advance for any help!
Also, while I assume RBD is a disqualifying factor for each the Navy, the nuclear field and the submarine force, I can't find a precedent for any, if anyone would be able to confirm that or point me in the direction to find the information myself (I've only been able to find what precludes personnel from joining), that would also be very helpful
