Ship 4 Div 2341 used to be Ship 6 Div 2341. The area for RCU (Recruit Care Unit) in ship 6 is under renovation so now it's in Ship 4. It is the area that injured or sick recruits go to recuperate. They are well taken care of in RCU, I know this because my son spent 5 weeks in RCU last year. It was devastating for him to be injured and not PIR, BUT he received lots of Physical Therapy and was able to finish his bootcamp requirements from Ship 6 once he was cleared for duty.
It can be emotionally draining to be there as everyone is injured or sick. Also, some are in the same area for FIT, because they can't pass PFA and receiving assistance, or have failed an academic test and are getting help.
There is a group but I'm afraid that it's not very active, probably for the same reason you stated, different ship #.

Good luck and I will be praying for your SR to heal quickly!

My daughter was asmoed into this ship/division. She has had problems with her right side of her mouth since they took her wisdom teeth out. Long story short possible surgery and Bethesda took over her case.

My son called the other day to let us know that he was being moved to ship 4 div. 2341. I think for him he just needs to pass his run time, but I am not sure exactly of what's going on. I don't know if he is actually sick or injured or like he said needs to pass a pfa. I know we have to wait for him to call us but is there ANY way that I can find out for sure what the problem is? Anyone that can help me I would appreciate it cause this is one worried momma.

Ship 4 Division 2341 is the RCU, Recruit Convalescent Unit, where sick or injured recruits go to heal and be cycled back into another TG. He will be able to call every other Sunday if he did not make a call during the week to update you on things as he did the other day. Sunday calls can be lost if anyone in the division messes up, just like calls can be lost for those in other divisions at the RTC, so unfortunately you cannot count on a call. Join SHIP 04 DIV 2341 for more information. He is the only one who can give you info on what is going on, but if he wants you to be able to talk to the medical staff he will sign the HIPAA form so tey can call you or you can call tehm. The next time he calls check to see if he has signed the HIPAA form and if there is a number that you can call, but remember it is up to him to sign that form and some recruits choose not to sign the form.
The address for the FIT division is Ship 4 Div 2347 or Ship 4 Div 2444, so he has been injured or is sick and must be declared Fit for Full Duty (FFD) before he can finish the PFA and continue. If you find out that he is in the FIT program, join fit program.
