I agree. Go to the doctor. The last thing he needs is a nasty staff infection. They can blow up quickly & are painful. I used to get staff infections in my nail beds & almost always needed antibiotics. I had one in my thumb that went from just sore to painfully infected overnight. I had 3 red lines running from my thumb to my elbow by the time I got to the doc. Long story short. . . Don't wait to take of it. I know that time is precious for them in prototype (my son is in BS, too).

Hey Connie, Oldest son in 2 1/2 years, 3 ingrown toe
nails... all resulted in in-office "procedures"
tell him to bite the bullet and go to medical.
Nothing good will come from putting it off. The last
thing you want him doing is putting that toe
in a boot and trying to "get through" a 12
hour shift.

during a pedicure, they cut it where it should be and then pull out the piece that is ingrown.  it will hurt, but solves the problem.

Advice? Son has ingrown toenail, red and throbbing, he's in BS in proto and doesn't want to pay for a doc-in-the-box visit. He looked on internet and has done salt soaks, triple antibiotic ointment, bandaid. Anybody have any other tips? (If he were a horse, I'd poultice it!).

There are more than plenty of good guys on the Stennis too.  The last time I was aboard was a day or two before the last deployment, when they hosted the welcome dinner for the players in last year's US Junior golf championship under a huge tent on the flight deck in the pouring rain (in mid-July...lol).  The championship was a great event though, and a couple of the players made the cut in the US Open this weekend, including the 17 year old who briefly held a lead over Tiger in the second round yesterday.  As far as the hit and run, I feel bad for the 21 year old whose screwing up his life.  Knowing all the trouble he's in now; it's hard to figure how the Navy wouldn't have to boot him.

Glad we don't disagree, Mark. :) Just wanted to give that little bit of hope. It's not all rainbows and sunshine, but sometimes there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Aaron is enjoying Kitsap county now that he's finally had time to get out and enjoy the area. He's finally starting to make some friends in his division thank goodness. 

Sorry you had such a bad experience with that Stennis sailor. :/  A few of them have made the news. They ended up having a drug bust on the ship and a huge Captain's mast about two months ago, and then when they got back from their most recent underway, one of them went out and got drunk and went psycho on a cab driver almost killing him. So you definitely didn't find the only bad egg on the Stennis. haha.

I made the carrot bread yesterday morning doubling the batch so I could send a loaf to work with my other son to share. It was a super hit! My husband was disappointed that the gradnkids had finished "his" loaf when he got home so I guess I'm making some more today!  LOL  Thanks for sharing the recipe :-)

By the way, Emily - I hope you and Aaron are enjoying Kitsap County so far.  As luck would have it, I was rear-ended by a Stennis sailor who compounded it by turning it into a hit and run a couple of weeks ago; he wasn't nuc material, clearly - lol.  Fortunately damage was real minor.

Thanks guys. I guess about three weeks til I hear from him?

We don't disagree Emily.  You make a good point, and I'm glad you did.  I chose the word "correlates" very carefully - it's kind of a nuc thang ;).  It just means that there is a statistical (out of a large sample) correlation between performance in training and performance in the fleet.  It doesn't mean, as you point out, that that is necessarily the case in individual cases.  It only means that there is a statistical correlation that isn't random.
