<p>***Update and for Cbent that deleted the reply***</p>
<p>My son was put in to muster with other sailors that were either injured, separating or having the same issues. He was in a lot of separation classes and transition classes and was kept in limbo for quite some time. They also had him with a psychologist for a while who's main job was to get him back on the sub.

<p>My son was put in to muster with other sailors that were either injured, separating or having the same issues. He was in a lot of separation classes and transition classes and was kept in limbo for quite some time. They also had him with a psychologist for a while who's main job was to get him back on the sub. She told him early on that she was absolutely not recommending him for surface duty and recently released him. In CT he was diagnosed with eczema which is supposed to disqualify from being in a sub, but the doctor in HI told him it was "contact dermatitis" which is what they say when don't know or care and gave him some ointment that didn't help. He went underway Friday at 1300 so needless to say I'm worried. The last thing he texted us was that he loved us and had a bad feeling so he is not "cured" of his claustrophobia by any means. I just pray that he's psyching himself out and will be fine.</p> I really don't think they wil…tag:navyformoms.ning.com,2017-02-20:1971797:Comment:101289742017-02-20T18:56:23.265ZCJOhttps://navyformoms.ning.com/profile/CJO
<p>I really don't think they will separate him from the Navy.</p>
<p>My son knew a few that couldn't handle sub and went to surface. Of course they won't be happy about all of the training but they don't want him to fail either..</p>
<p>Good luck and please let us know how it goes.</p>

<p>The Navy has been training submarine sailors for 100 years, and this stuff happens. The submarine service is especially challenging, and they know it. Try not to worry too much, it will likely all work out. Please let the group know how it goes.</p>
<p>What is his rating? Most of them have direct parallels in the surface fleet.</p>

My son has also known some that went from sub to surface. It's just not for everyone and I believe the Navy understands this!! He will be fine just tell him to follow proper procedures and it should work out for him.
