My son was sent to Ship 5!!
My son called this morning and told me he was in isolation and was being discharged!! He said they told him he has a medical condition with his heart and may have pre-hypertension. Isn't that high blood pressure?? He's only 19! And wouldn't they have found that out at his 2 physicals he had in May and right before he left for BC?
I asked him if he was on ship 5 and he asked "how did you know about ship 5?" I told him I saw it on Navy for Moms. He was impressed a little bit that I kinda knew what he was talking about. But he was crying and said he was with the mentally ill people! He said he would know more when he talked to legal but I don't know when that will be! He said he could fight it but some people on ship 5 have been fighting it for almost a year and he doesn't want to stay there any longer than he has to if they are kicking him out. He said he might be able to re-inlist in 9 months but he will do Air Force if he does that.
What can I do now? He arrived at BC Oct. 3rd. He called me Tuesday and sounded so happy and upbeat and then today it was a whole different Kenny! I am so worried about him!

Finally heard from my son. He called to say that he was flying home Friday but he didn't know what time yet. I guess they think we can take off work at the drop of a hat and have all the personal days we need at our leisure from our jobs!
He said pink eye is going around ship 5 and some of the ones that have it rub their eyes on the clean clothes they are passing out to the other recruits. My son said he is really getting fed up with some of the guys in there. I hate that he's had such a bad experience there. I was hoping this would be his "thing". Back to square one now. As far as his health, he said it was all a fluke and they were just looking for a reason to weed out another recruit. He said he's getting an RE-3 discharge and plans to go to the air force in a year. At least he's planning ahead!
