My fiancé called me today from a hospital in Great Lakes. He has been in bootcamp for two weeks. He collapsed a couple times today so he was rushed to the hospital. They said his blood pressure is 160/something. He sounded horrible on the phone. But he is afraid of them sending him home. Has anyone else gone through this? What happens to him?

He will be evaluated to determine if he is fit to continue training. If he is declared FFD, then he will be returned to his division and will continue with training. He may go to the RCU after being released from the hospital, but it is also possible that he will be sent to SEPS and will be sent home. If his diastolic is consistently above 140 when checked without meds (it will be checked at least 3 times), then he will be disqualified from serving and will be separated (sent home).

If he goes to the RCU or SEPS, let me know and I can give you more info. For now, prayers for a good outcome.

Lemonelephant,

If you sailor ends up at RCU, will s/he be able to call and tell you, or is the call only if there is a change in status?

You will be called to be informed if your recruit is ASMO'd from a regular division to the RCU. (That would be a change in status.) Recruits who are moved to the RCU are generally able to make calls every other Sunday, but those calls can be lost if someone in the division messes things up for the division or if the recruit made a call that week following a test or other appointment.

See RCU in What does ??? mean? (A Guide to Navy Abbreviations and Terminology) and Ship 4 in Ship/Division--How it Works for more information on the RCU.

Thank you! I appreciate the help!

You are very welcome.

Mine SR has been in SEPS for a week and has called me twice on Tuesday, once on Thursday and three times on Sunday with over an hour of talk time. He had to keep buying minutes.

SEPS is different than the RCU. In SEPS, they can call every day if they have minutes.

That's wonderful. Are you going to comment on every thing I post or will you finally go away?

There is no reason to be rude. Falcons asked ME about the RCU and I replied about that. I then commented on your reply to point out that there is a difference in phone privileges on SEPS and the RCU.

I understand that you may have issues right now, but please don't get upset with me.

I have no issues, I would just like for you to leave me alone. Especially since I've already asked. Respect that. I would never harass someone as much as you have these past few weeks. It's not right, lemon.

My comments above are not harassing you. Again, I am sorry that you have issues right now. Any information I have left here or on your My Page has been left to be informative and to help you on this journey. I'm sorry that you choose not to accept it in the spirit that it was given. 

You're not helping your case. You still feel the need to comment. Take a deep breathe and realize. Have a good night.
