My Husband Is Being Held At Great Lakes......Help!
He said he's being held b/c of swimming and his borderline high blood pressure. He's finished with basic, but he's being held and has not graduated. He hasn't called me and I'm worried. Can I go there to see him? Who do I talk to abut this?

If he didn't pass the swim test, he didn't finish bootcamp. So technically he is still a recruit and treated as such, so no you can't just go visit him, nor does he have free use of the phone.
Some may tell you to call the PAO on RTC, but they can not give out any information about a certain recruit due to HIPPA and Privacy laws.
Recommend you write your recruit, as he is the only one that can tell you what is going on with him.
FIT click there for a group about those who have recruits that didn't pass a physical part of bootcamp.
RCU < click there for a group about those who have recruits with medical issues the Navy is still checking to see if they can stay in the Navy.
Ship 5 < click there for a group for those who have loved ones who are being separated from the Navy
If your recruit is going to be sent home, he will be allowed a phone call to tell someone that he is being sent home, it is his choice who he calls.

I wouldn't want to speculate, but I'd have a very hard time believing he has been held for two weeks because of his swimming. They do very little other than jump off a platform and make their way to the side.
If it is a medical thing, I would think he could call you and update.
However, this is all my opinion and means very little.

I haven't heard from him in 2 weeks! I don't know what to do. I just want to know what's going on.
We have a 2 year old that hasn't seen his daddy in 11 weeks.
