My SR is doing much better. His spirits are better. He is out of his brace and off crutches. They are allowing him to try without a boot to see how he does. He has been able to start physical therapy and actually did a little training last week.  There are a couple of 823 members in with him so he has someone to train with maybe, depending on their injuries. He has been transferred to Phase II.  Prayers are being answered. Please keep praying for our guys in RCU.

I agree when you are in the trenches of RCU it is very tough but when you get through it OMG It is so AMAZING!! it makes the struggle worth it. I will never forget the feeling of seeing my son for the first time after 4 1/2 months. I was AWESOME!!!! SO just hang in there and keep the positives going to your recruit!!!!.

Wonderful news!! We received our first phone call since he went into RCU. He sounded so good!!  Prayers have been answered.  Thank you so much for keeping him in yours.  He hopes to have his brace removed and off crutches on Tues. He will be in a walking boot for 3-4 weeks, but can still continue with his training and requirements while in the boot.  He has chosen to finish in RCU.  He will transfer to the THU unit once he finishes BS so they can continue to monitor his leg until he gets a spot for P-school (?) and A-school.  They have upgraded him to the equivalent of a yeoman while in RCU so he is doing paperwork and computer work. I know this is helping him keep his mind off everything. Oh, he gets to keep his contract for EOD. Prayers, Patience and Perseverance. Please continue to keep him in your prayers. Also, several of your SR's (Sailors, now) have let him know we are talking.  Thank you for sharing.

@paces: That's what we are all here for even us old timers LOL. I won't mention names ;-) I hope it all works out how he wants it to and he continues on to do great things with the Navy. Just be there for him as we are for you.

I think he will be okay with no PIR.  His goal has been EOD all the time. When he went in, he told us he would rather us be at his EOD graduation than his PIR if a choice had to be made. We are praying he will be able to keep his contract. Thank you for your support. I don't think I could have managed this far without you guys
