I had a buddy once tell me they were going to give him separation pay of $32,000 he was an E-5 at 9 years. He ended up losing the weight and finishing up his contract normally. I don't know how true that statement is as it's just word of mouth.

They will take your RE code and SPD code and tell you what benefits are available to you. The biggest benefit is you aren't barred from reenlistment if your weight comes back down to meet standards.
