Why Collin Gosselin Was Discharged From the Marines: His Revelation
Jon and Kate Gosselin’s Son Collin Addresses Relationship With Estranged Siblings
Collin Gosselin‘s dream was cut short.
The Jon & Kate Plus 8 alum recently alleged that his being institutionalized by his mother, Kate Gosselin, is the reason he is no longer serving in the Marines.
“I was discharged,” he told Entertainment Tonight in an interview published August 14. “I was towards the end of training, very close to graduating. The paperwork was looked into, and they found out that I was in fact in an institution at one point in my life. And see they don’t need any deeper reason.”
The 20-year-old continued, “Being in an institution, that’s good enough to discharge. That’s it.”
Yet Collin isn’t willing to let his dream go so easily and is currently working to appeal the decision. “I have very few other wishes in life,” he explained, “that would top being a United States Marine.”
E! News has reached out to Kate’s rep for comment but has not yet heard back.
