I'm so sorry to hear that Lindylou. My thoughts are prayers are with you & your son.

Unfortunately he still has not healed and may be medically discharged, we are waiting to hear.

Thank you so very much for the comment Lindylou. I will pass on the information to her. How is your son doing? Hopefully he's all healed.

MeNBruToo, it seems there is no hard and fast rule as to how long these things take to heal. My son's PIR was back in May and shortly after was diagnosed with shin splints and then they found a stress fracture so he was put on hold for 12 weeks. Seems he has still not healed completely and it will take more time but I understand your friend's anxiety. All that adrenaline through BC and everything comes to a screaming halt. Tell her to keep busy, maybe there are some educational courses she can take while she is on hold. Wish I had more optimistic advice.

my friend sara was in ship 13 div 356 & PIR was 10-16-2009 but around 9-9-2009 she informed her parents she has a stress fracture on her foot & is in med. rehab. im hoping that it wont take long for her to heal, she is so depressed about this happening. she said there are some girls that have been in there since April.

Anyone here? My son is on Med Hold for six more months at GL. He tore up his shoulder in training for Air Rescue, dropped from the program due to that. Got better, reclassed as Hull Tech. While on hold, retore the shoulder, ended up with surgery the end of May, home for 30 days, back to GL for six months of limited duty, job to be determined. His morale and attitude are great - knows this isn't what he signed up to do, but you can't control these sort of things. Right now he is supervising a cleaning crew waiting for his new limited duty job. The good thing is that for the next six months he is only three hours away. Interesting journey!

Donna, is your son off medical hold? Mine is still awaiting discharge. I hope they reneg. That's a high hope, but he's doing okay and his heart could have a simple operation and he'd be okay. He'll have been in 6 months as of April 1. How are things with everyone else? My son's morale is in the gutter. Everyone else has moved on to they new stations and he's just hanging out, not doing anything. They have him doing "watch".

Sorry it has been a while since I have been to the group. To Karen-No they have not found the cause yet. In 4 1/2 months they have only done one test. They haven't done the sleep EEG yet which is the main one he needs. He is in fair spirits. He doesn't get to do what he was trained for so he is dredging along. He is working in the TPU right now for his light duty. TPU=tranceint personnel unit (excuse the poor spelling). They have also put his 3rd class on hold while he is on med hold and he was supposed to get that back in August. That has him down hearted. I haven't talked to him but once since they located him. Now I wait to hear again to see what is up. Also Karen (if you are still on here) my mother had panic anxiety disorder. I understand more about it than I sometimes wish I did.I wish everyone the best and hang in there everyone. At least we still have our loved ones alive.

wow, well, I've heard so much about anxiety disorder, yet so very little because it seems like such a vague subject. I think it depends on how fast she can overcome her disorder, if at all. She's put on hold because they want to make sure she's going to be able to handle it.
My son is being discharged because the doctor said there is no way the Navy is going to take a risk with him, so this is my last posting on here. Best wishes to all.
