He said they were.passing around mucinex, tylenol and ibuprofen. He didn't go to medical, but he was checked.before Battlestations and cleared as."normal"++ He had a high fever and was sneezing blood.
Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on August 21, 2011 at 3:23am

Oh man...sleep, he needs sleep...did he go to medical...many don't in BC...don't want to take a chance of getting trapped there.

I would try as much sleep as they will allow himt...then maybe his body can get to healing. I think he can start to get some OTC's soon. Maybe that will help.

I am going to add that to my prayers tonight. That he gets some much needed rest and that it helps to heal him. Don't tell me his name...God knows who he is!

Comment by CarolP on August 21, 2011 at 3:17am
Oh mu goodness, everything you've described is.exactly what he has down to the pink eye. 1 of lungs hurts.really bad. We had to leave the restaurant restaurant, because he was so sick. He had the crud.at the.start of bootcamp, then the last week has been really bad.
Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on August 21, 2011 at 3:17am

Delta SUCKS! (Sorry any delta lovers) Mine left from Midway on American.

I and my two other sons drove there at midnight, then back to the Navy Lodge, snoozed, packed, went to O'Hare, got delayed because of bad weather (thank goodness-the lighting and thunder were frightening), made it home to LAX and then drove about an hour more home.

At one point my middle son was sitting on the curb at LAX while we were waiting for the flyaway bus. He said, "We have been to THREE airports today. I am SICK of airports."

Amen, brother.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on August 21, 2011 at 3:10am

Oh, I hope he recoops soon. It gets better in "A" school. My son has only had a small cold right in the beginning.

Man, they get "the crud" in BC. Did he have the crud? Mine got it and then got pneumonia. Luckily (LOL) he just ended up SIQ...and on the weekend so he didn't miss a lot. He wasn't passing his run. Gee, I wonder why! He finally did the week before BS. By that time...pink eye had started going through his DIV!! He DID NOT get that thank goodness!

Comment by CarolP on August 21, 2011 at 3:07am
Yes Shuga, that's what flipped me inside out. His time got moved up. I would think if Delta wanted the Navy contract, they would give some type of concessions. Maybe bring the lost luggage to the base hmmm???
Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on August 21, 2011 at 3:05am

I took advantage of my husbands active duty status before it ended (he was deployed),to try and get a deal...lowered the phone, motorola droid, by $50...but get this, a certain soft drink company has WAY better deals than the GOV...go figure!

We call it the magic phone! Yeah...to bad I can't wave it over the bill and lower the data fee!

But we all love playing with it!

Comment by CarolP on August 21, 2011 at 3:00am
Oh but that was such an amazing story. It gave me a few tears... Normally, I hold it together much better. He's been real sick and still not 100*
Comment by shuga on August 21, 2011 at 2:59am
With everything o'hare had going on today, we are blessed that our sailors made it to Pensacola, even without luggage. My daughter was testing one of her friends that flew out on Delta at o'hare and her flight was changed a few times b4 she actually flew out.
Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on August 21, 2011 at 2:58am

No...luckily they tracked it down right away...but someone from the base had to go to the airport and get it the next day.

It seems kind of dumb...I mean, let's keep all the nice weapons together...they like each other! (there were ten in the group traveling).
