I don't know, will he be assigned a reactivaiton code? Like, when I got out of the navy they gave me a code that said I could come back in if I wanted to. But he was never actually in, so I don't see what they could do. I bet they are trying to scare him, but I am not sure. You don't get much extra for depping, do you? I know I didn't. So if you don't get anything for depping, hopefully there isn't much of a penalty for dropping out. I wish I could help more, but this is an interesting case. I don't see how it could affect his future employment since he never was actually in the Navy. He shouldn't get assigned one of the "bad" codes.
