Hi all,
My daughter isn't in the fit program yet. She is actually home healing from a mishap during bootcamp. When the dentist there took out wisdom teeth he or she cut her nerve. Long story short( and it is some story ) she had to have an oral surgeon brake her jaw and fix the mishap. Well most of it. She will be numb on her right side of mouth for the rest of her life. She is home until returning on july 29th. Then she will finish her four days left of bootcamp once she is released from surgeon to workout again.

Oh my gosh ,she truly has been thru it and it had to be god getting her there. I know only that he hasnt thrown in the towel ,he is pushing himself and even in all this he asked me to send a card to another young man that apparently gets a lot of razzing from others and doesnt get a lot of mail, my son has always been a kid that will help an underdog, when other kids in school would ridicule someone he would be there friend, i think he is looking more into gods guidance and power then he ever did, It is going to come down to pure will power or medical. He wanted to see us so bad and show us his ribbon and medal he earned,he is very proud of that as we are.

He is to go to Goose creek ,near charleston sc.

Navyrocks...

My daughter is not @ LAFB in TX. She is a MA or well on her way to be. She had a fracture in one leg and her foot on the same leg. She finally passed on her very last chance to get a graduation. My daughter did not get a swearing in ceremony because she is a reservist. That upset me to no end. Then the thought of her missing graduation I could not imagine. But looking back now I'm so happy she has grown up and stronger in her faith. She gives all the credit to God and I don't know if before all of this she would have. He will be a stronger man for going through this and you know PIR is wonderful but in the full scope of things it's not such a huge thing. Your son will have went through boot camp and had it harder than most and never have given up! Sandy can say the same thing about her daughter! So many quit early on or made them kick them out. You will have the same overwhelming, prideful, emotional day as everyone @ PIR but you will not have to wait 2 hours to hug your SAILOR! :o) My daughter had passed her run and was back in a DIV when I broke down and called RTC. She had passed her run the day before a Monday and was back finishing firefighting and had BS that night! I sobbed on the phone with the RTC….Sandy will love that! Your day will be great no matter where you have it and I’m sure he cares less about that ceremony at this point and just wants to get out of there!

Parrothd, where is your daughter now, is she ok.Part of the issue is my recruit has been sick since week 3 of bc w/cougph ,they did put him on several meds but that only helps if your getting proper rest as well, so his breathing is off. I know he wants out bad he even made a motivational chart.  Guess i will not get a call ,but i believe he has been going to church services and he alwasy ask for us to keep praying.

you are so right, im having hardest time sleeping,getting thru the day, i tried to ask where is his time at now but they wouldnt say anything, i know he is an adult but at age 19 there all still pretty naive and green, i certainly dont wish to push to much because then it may fall back on the recruit. Going to do my best not to call and must have patience waiting.  It is very disheartening he missed grad, no matter what EVERY Sailor deserves a ceremony and this was taken away because of moments in a run!

Sandy did check out of n4m for a while but she was still in our constant prayers!  This so changes you and your child forever!

It's my understanding since my daughter was in medical ship 04 and then later FIT.  You call home once a week while in medical you don't get squat in FIT!  Sad thing is most of the time Sailors had had a sickness or injury that has put them so far behind physicaly they are not able to make it when PFA comes such was the case for my Sailor and Sandys!  04/2341 is mdical.  You can count one one thing HE WANTS OUT OF FIT!  Once he passes that PFA you will have a lot more contact.  His next chance is Monday right?  HE WILL PASS!!!  I tear up every time I hear of someone worried and in the dark.  It's such a hard place for a Mother to be!  It's nearly over so hang in there and he is going to be such a matured young man when you see him next!  Love and prayers to you and your son! 

One more note last week I got a letter returned to me that had been to 3 DIV's and LAFB...LOL  That's one for the scrapbook!!
