My son has been having chest pains and is having a hard time breathing. they took him to see the cardiologist and they say his heart is fine. He says he gets pains in his chest and he can't breathe. Just random times. Sometimes at night. Can someone give me some insight on if the possibility of him coming home a huge possibility or is there something they can do?? Please any info would be great.

No one knows what is going on for sure...but if he does have anxiety or panic attacks they will seperate him.  They can't have people having either of those in the USN.

Hi, I'm a mom of a SR who was with your son in Ship 12, Divison286.  Like you my son is now in Ship 5.  Please accept my friend request so that we can support each other through this nightmare.  My son does NOT want to come home, but to get back into training. 

 

Sorry to say...it doesn't matter what they want.  If they aren't qualifed they won't stay

Trainermom I certainly will friend request you once I can get on my computer. He isn't in there yet that I know of. Hope He doesn't.
Well I got the call today. He was moved to separation. So about 2 weeks and he'll be home.

They only take into consideration what is going on  with her medical.  Doesn't matter if she scored a perfect on her ASVAB and was #1 in her division, as sorry to say none of that matters once they leave bootcamp.

 

Depending on the reason for the allergic reation..she will be seperated.

 

Ship 5 is the seperation ship...if she is there she was told to go home.  Ship 4 is the medical ship, where those with medical issues are waiting to get better to go back to a division.

 

 

SEPS, if that is what our SR is in, is that div 4 or 5?

Ship 4 houses Regular training Divisions/SPECOP Divsions as well as those recovering from an injury is RCU...SEPS is Ship 5.

Was your SR sent to Ship 5?

Just to update.... My son comes home tomorrow. He did like his ship and division. Was excited for battlestations. His reenlistment code is RE3g which means he will need a waiver to reenlist if he decides to do that. We will time will do. I pray for all of those that are in SEPS. I wish them all the best in life. I do know he is a changed man even after a month. I can't wait to see him.

That's great news mryer....I pray all goes okay once he gets home.

My son said the same thing on the phone....this doesn't take long to change you mom and I don't think he meant Ship 5, I think he meant the Navy itself.  And I'm going to take that as a positive thing.

That is great news mryer465...blessings to you and your son.
