<p>JJC54 - It is hard to say. Hopefully he will be able to reach out to someone that can help him process through all of this. Please don't hesitate to continue to reach out for more encouragement. </p>

<p>Thanks for your support. I really don't understand why any of this had to happen...I suppose it was the luck of the draw. His first CO was much more accommodating but was promoted and another one stepped in and this is where the true lack of care began. I hope that everything will clear itself and that my grandson can find some understanding and compassion so that everyone will be the better for it.</p>

<p>Thank you so much...yes, he will have additional surgery and did have some PT but when he was scheduled for the yearly fitness test the doctor asked that he be allowed to swim instead of run do to his injury but was told at the test that swimming would not be an option, so he ran until he could run no longer and had to be taken to the doctor again. My father was in the army for 20 years, serving in both Korea and Viet Nam and I do not recall the military being so lax then. Once again I thank…</p>

<p>Thanks so much for your caring advice. I have told him to contact a chaplain and perhaps that will begin to make things better. As you know, it can be so difficult to be so far away and so limited in knowledge. I truly appreciate this</p>

<p>I concur about talking to a chaplain, and the Command Masterchief. Why hasn't he been given Limited Duty (LIMDU)? His doctors surely know he needs that, and they can tell the command to make accommodations. When our sailors were injured, that's what we did. Meals to the barracks wouldn't be usual, but his LPO and Chief should have cared enough to make that happen. There is something very wrong here, or much more going on. The NJP is very unusual.</p>

<p>JJC54 - I too am sorry to hear this. I will agree with what Chipmunk says. And yes, his chain of command should be able to offer assistance, especially if they are fully aware of the situation. I'm sure this is very difficult for you knowing he is struggling but he needs to be more assertive in getting help. He needs to stand up for himself and if he doesn't get the help he needs he should work his way up the chain of command. Do they have additional surgery planned? Did he get physical…</p>

He needs to stand up for himself and if he doesn't get the help he needs he should work his way up the chain of command. Do they have additional surgery planned? Did he get physical therapy? Definitely sounds like he's fallen through the cracks.</p>
<p>And yes, reaching out to the Chaplain might be a good idea at this point for further guidance and support. He needs to keep fighting.</p> JJC54 - I am so sorry to hear…tag:navyformoms.ning.com,2022-01-18:1971797:Comment:113065862022-01-18T13:11:52.925ZChipmunkhttps://navyformoms.ning.com/profile/Chipmunk
<p>JJC54 - I am so sorry to hear this. I know of no one other than to reach out to a Chaplain for help. You do not mention if your grandson is stationed on shore duty or assigned to a ship. My husband always says, they need to speak to their senior chief. I don't know if that is who is supposed to be looking out for him or not. If he is assigned to a ship, there should be an ombudsman that is assigned and she might be able to help, at least be able to check on what things are available in the…</p>

<p>This last year + with the COVID has been a mess with pay not being dealt with and many other issues. And while things are different in the military, in my opinion, this type of negligence is not acceptable. </p>
<p>I will watch for your reply, I might not be able to respond until tomorrow though. </p>
