Restriction is a punishment for violating the rules, awarded by the Commanding Officer. Your sailor probably won't want to tell you while it is still new, and because of privacy laws, you'll have to wait until he is ready to come clean because no one else can tell you anything. Hopefully he learns from his mistake and gets back on track. Most of them do.

He has made some poor choices in his life and I keep praying that he wont get kicked out. He only told me that he was late for class and didnt do some homework. Is this why he could be in restriction?
-

Possibly...the Navy is overmanned and not taking well to slackers. They have little tolerance for those who aren't serious about what they are doing. It is time for him to get serious, buckle down and get his work done before it gets out of hand.

I agree. I know he isn't in the nuclear program any more. Just worried about what happens next or what happens. thank you so much for your advice. I really appreciate it.

What program is he in now?
-
-
The only thing I know is that he was in nuclear school. I don't really know what happens next or where he goes. He can only call me on fridays for 15 minutes. I ask him questions, but don't really get straight answers.

hmmm, might be a good idea to tell him that it is time to fess up. Let him know that you'll be there for him BUT he has got to tell you the truth about what he is doing now. Ask him his rating, what A school program he is doing.
