I'm hoping that I'll have more information soon, Karen. Without the X-ray results, there really is no way to know for sure. I pray that therapy will do the trick. Such encouraging words from the 11/25 PIR group...and Kayana's quote does ring true. Not always easy reaching that goal.

Oh I do hope everything works our for Sara. She must be very upset. I hope things work out for her. Did she fracture her foot while running? No, she isn't a failure. She had the courage many do not by enlisting and trying. Tell her I hope everything turns out okay for her and we will be praying for a fast recovery for her.
Suzanne I do hope Alyssa's injury is not as bad as they originally thought. The quote Kayana gave on 11/25 PIR was so beautiful and so true. Our girls are striving for something and while they have suffered a setback right now when they do reach graduation day it will be that much more special for them. If you need to talk just let me know. Their faces are going to look just that much more beautiful when we see them.

Hi Everyone. My friend Sara Haynes fractured her foot Sept. 8,2009. Was in RCU for a/b 2 weeks. They sent her back to bootcamp, within a week she was injured again. Now she has 4 fractures of her foot, & is in a cast. She is trying to stay strong but she wants to come home. She said theres a 87% chance they will give her a medical discharge. Poor thing, she doesnt want all her friends to think she is a failure. I keep telling her SHE ISNT! SHE'S INJURED and couldnt help it.

Yes, she was Ship 07 Division 012. She also has tendonitis with a possible stress fracture...almost sure about that but was told that it takes up to a week before it shows up on an X-ray. So she should be getting one this week. I'm hoping that they get all the support that they need in order to pass. Maybe even a little TLC! It's encouraging to hear that Niki is upbeat. I'm hoping that Alyssa's next phone call will be better also.

Hi Suzanne I think maybe they are. Isn't she Ship 07 Division 012? I know this has to be so tough on them to go this far and then suffer a set back but I have heard they do their best to rehab them so they can pass. Niki has been in there for at least one to two weeks. She told me last Friday she was hoping to go back to a division maybe this week but I think that was wishful thinking on her part. Niki hasn't even given me her new address yet. What did your daughter do to her foot. Niki sounded like hers was tendonitis in her ankle possibly. I can never get everything out of her.

Hi, Karen. I was a member of PIR 11/25 until Monday. My daughter injured her foot and will be spending 4 to 6 weeks in rehab. She called last night with her new address. It was a tough call... I wonder if she and your daughter are in the same unit.

Thanks Laura for getting back with me. At least I know what basically she will be doing in there. She did call me again yesterday and stressed not to come on the week of Thanksgiving as she would not be graduating. I just told her I was proud of her and she told me as soon as she was rehabed she would be back in BC and would be graduating at some point and time she just does not know when yet.

My son was in RCU for 5 weeks. She will do physical therapy aand when she's ready they'll put her back in a Div at where she left off. My son would call me when he could with an update. Write her letters, because she will get bored. My son ironed his uniforms and shined his boots because he had already read his manual a hundred times. Hope all goes well.

Hello..I am new to this site. I just got a call from my daughterr last night that she had fallen and hurt her knee. The connection was awful so I couldn't understand everything she said. It sounded like she said tendoniits in her ankle and possibly fallen arch. She wanted to try rehab instead of discharge. She is in her third week of BC and was set to graduate 11/25 but says now it will be after Christmas. She sounded pretty upbeat. She has passed her swim test. What do they do while in rehab and where exactly are they placed? Any info would be appreciated as I am lost right now.

My son is in RCU from a fractured fibia, from running on shin splints. IHe has been there going on three weeks. I have been unable to get any updates from him as he called when he got transferred, and have only received 1 letter. He was 5 days before Graduation and I am going nuts over how he is, and not knowing.
