I think where the Navy fucks its sailors is not so much at separation but during the recruiting phase. It’s almost a right of passage to talk about how one’s recruiter had lied. If people were given more time to find out about the various rates and what sort of job offers will be available after their time with the Navy is up, then I think there would be less of a scramble to jump from military to civilian life. On the other hand the military has a bunch of billets to fill and most likely would have a hard time filling them if people knew what they were getting themselves into.
