Comment by Jenn_NicksWifey on July 6, 2012 at 9:12pm: Oh navyknit!! I'm so sorry! You must have raised one tough young man to be running on a fractured tibia for two weeks! He will heal, he will finish bootcamp and he will be all the stronger for it.

Comment by MOMofDREW2.0 on July 6, 2012 at 9:10pm: NavyKnit, echo what others have said. Sorry you have to go thru this after being so supportive for the rest of us. as long as they havent moved him to another ship .All good. Look forward to seeing u in the bleachers knitting in two weeks!

Comment by Patrat-Ship04-Div223 on July 6, 2012 at 9:03pm: Navyknit, Prayers are heading towards your son for a quick recovery! Hopefully his injury is minor and with just a little rest, he will be as good as new and ready to roll!

Comment by Patrat-Ship04-Div223 on July 6, 2012 at 8:54pm: Good Day! Went to watch my daughter compete her solo at a competiion and she rec'd an absolute which is the highest award plus she rec'd a special award. With all that she has been through health wise this year, it was just very special! Then we got home and there was a letter from my son!!! He started the letter june 26th and then continued July 1st. His last three inspections he rec'd a perfect score! He said that his div. has been doing really well. He also said that they have test #2 and drill inspection on Tuesday, which I'm guessing would have been July 3rd. and then they have only one more set of inspections before graduation and battlestations. He sounds good, and mentioned more than a few times that he really appreciates all the letters and can't wait to see us! I can't wait either!!!!

Comment by dbarton(ship04div223) on July 6, 2012 at 8:19pm: I agree with diannep, navyknit...he's probably right back to where he left off and feeling 100 times better...

Comment by diannep on July 6, 2012 at 5:14pm: Lala: Sure hope your "seasickness" subsides soon! Believe it or not, my sailor use to get seasick when young, yet when he went out on a workup on a carrier, he was fine. I know it is a miserable feeling...safe travel back home!

Comment by diannep on July 6, 2012 at 5:12pm: navyknit. Oh my...not news you wanted, I know. If he is "put back", meaning...out of this PIR group...he is supposed to call you to let you know. They would be giving him the rest hoping he can stay with his group---if the injury was really severe, they probably would have already put him back. So I would go on the No News is Good News thing idea now...that he can try and heal and stay with his training group. If so, don't worry. He can make up anything he missed.

This happens often and most of them continue with training and do fine. Hard to know without knowing the severity of the injury. Not sure that you can get info unless he signs a waiver saying you can receive this. But not even sure that can happen unless they are trying to "separate" him.

If you don't hear anything this weekend, you can try calling the Public Affairs Office on Monday and see if they show he is still on track. Sometimes you get a nice person who will look him up and tell you; sometimes you will get someone who says that they can't tell you anything. So hoping you get someone who is helpful! But hoping more than that ....that he gets to call you this weekend and explain more.

So hard when they are injured like that because you just don't know how long it will take...but here's the GOOD news....since this news was by way of letter, then it seems that the 5 days would almost be up, right? And you haven't received a call saying that he has been asmoed (setback). So I'm hoping that is encouraging news...in that he is doing better.

Remember, many of them are put on some light duty and given some rest for different sicknesses/injuries, yet get to remain with their PIR group. SO let's hope that the :rest" has helped him immensely and he is going to be fine.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on July 6, 2012 at 5:04pm: awe navyknitt, I hope the five days rest will do the trick and he will be able to continue without any set backs. It sounds like he is doing very well other than the injury so as long he stays off of it maybe it will get better quickly. He is in my thoughts and prayers and so are you <3 And I was feeling better this morning but I went back out on the boat again so everything if swaying back and forth lol.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on July 6, 2012 at 2:52pm: I'm sorry I haven't been more active lately. We have been on vacation and tomorrow we head home so things will get back to normal and I will be on here a lot more often :-) Glad to be heading home!!! I know you all have missed me right? lol
