Woo hoo Marilyn. My recruit spent a long time (to him) in RCU. Has been in THU since completing Battle Stations on 4/30. Actually went to Ship 17 this week and is awaiting orders. Possibly out of Great Lakes next week!!! He arrived at RTC 2/10.
So glad you got to spend a great weekend with her. Congrats on your new sailor!!!
Our "kids" have proved themselves to be pretty tough.

Marilyn, my daughter has been in RCU since May 14th and we hope she will finally be doing battle stations Sunday night. My question to you is...you said she got Liberty Thursday through Monday? Is that all day Thursday? I'm trying to plan my trip up to see her. She left for boot camp on March 23rd so it has been a very long time since I've seen her. FYI- she has been trying to recover from pneumonia and will be on medical hold for a time after graduating.

TammySue, my daughter had liberty on Thursday starting about 1600 (she had guard duty after her grad). The PIR, which she wasn't able to attend because her division had graduated 6 weeks prior, was held on Thursday instead of Friday because of the Memorial Day weekend. PIR is usually on Friday and then they may have liberty from 0800-2000 Fri-Sunday. The holiday weekend added days that she had liberty. My daughter is now in Meridian,MS about half way through her LS school. She is anxiously awaiting her orders. They have alot more freedom in A school, almost too much I think!!! She calls almost every day which is a nice change from not hearing from her very often.

Hoppi,
Hi I'm rather new here, my son has only beed at BC for a little over 2 weeks, I got a call from an officer in his division, he told me that my son had injured his shoulder, my son was to be in training for air rescue swimmer, he told me he was sorry but he could not longer be in that division, but now I have heard nothing. I don't know where he is, how bad was the injury, no letter, no phone call. I have posted on BC group...just thought maybe you might have some insight. Thanks in advance

Hi Marilyn. My husband left July 15th for BC. A week and 3 days in to about 2 weeks in he injured his shoulder. He doesn't really recall how, but he woke up in the morning in a huge amount of pain. They are saying that they think it might be an old injury... however, he has never injured his shoulder before. But, they have not ordered any x-rays or any scans to look at his shoulder. They threw him into physical therapy without really knowing the source of the injury and now a few days into physical therapy his shoulder is worse and they are telling him if its not better in a few days then he is looking at a discharge. I called his recruiter and he was shocked to find that they have not ordered any scans and threw him in physical therapy. He said by them doing that they could make his shoulder worse. They still have no idea why his shoulder hurts and still insist on calling it an old injury. A lot of my military friends/family and recruiter are telling me to get a hold of him and tell him to fight to stay in the Navy and to get the tests done. His recruiter said that his injury happened in BC and should be taken care of in BC and that he wants me to make sure my husband doesn't quit or let them give him a medical discharge. My husband feels depressed and helpless and like he failed. I am scared and frustrated for him and our family and I am not sure what to do or what is going to happen, but I am going to make sure he fights for himself to get the treatment he deserves. He wants to serve in the Navy and wants to do the job he was given to do as a Media Communications Specialist. Any words of advice or someone who is kind of dealing with some issues like this?

He is not a doctor, but he has also never heard of them not performing at least one test to see the extent of the injury and just putting them into basic without a full knowledge of the injury. We, do have a plan B. My husband has a degree and if he does come home, then we have something to fall back on. Our eggs are not all in one basket. I have been supporting him through lettters and calls, however he has yet to get one letter from me in 2 weeks during mail call.

My BF got moved to Ship 6 today and he said his number changed to 2341 (I'm assuming that's the division number). He's got two stress fractions (both legs) and he's not sure how long he'll be there. He's on 15 minutes max standing from the doctors orders. He's upset, worried, and disappointed that he won't be finishing on 8/20 with the rest of his "old" division. I feel so terrible for him and today I'm not a great support for him because I'm also upset, sad, disappointed. Never in him. NEVER. Just in the whole situation. I worry too much, and he knows it. but I can't help it. *sigh*
Are there any "perks" to being in Ship 6 / RCU? other than the fact that they actually get to rest up?

Lately I have been getting a call 1 or 2 a week and at least 3 to 4 letters a week. I take comfort in that right now. I am just hope that he starts getting my letters. I got his address from our recruiter and he wrote down DIV 341, but when I got my husbands letters I noticed it was DIV 2341. I really hope that wont delay or get his letters lost. I hope your BF gets better. Try and stay strong for him... it is hard, but you can cry after the phone call ends
