Substance abuse in the Marines?

Feb

2010

My husband is a Marine currently in Pensacola FL. He graduated aschool last week and should be moving on to cschool by now but they are holding him in Pensacola because of an alcohol abuse problem. He had his first SARP meeting today and was told he is being put on a 2 week program. Some of the other guys in the program said they were told the same thing 2 weeks…but following the two weeks they had to remain in Pensacola for a year for further counseling/treatment. There is also mention of this in some of his paperwork he received. Will they really keep him there that long making 1000 a week and not doing anything? Hes done with classes so besides this program and of course duty and PT he would have nothing to do for a year. And would they really hold up cschool for that long? It seems outrageous to me why they wouldnt send him on to cschool and have him continue the SARP program there. Does anyone have any info on this or a website where I could learn more about it? It seems his chain of command is giving him misinformation or not telling him all the details by saying it is just a 2 week program. Thanks for any info you might have.
