Tconn:  They should forward the mail to him until you get his new address.  Prayers for your son during this time.  I'm sure your mail will help alot!

My son has been home from ship 5 a little over 2 weeks and started having headaches, chills the last couple days.  Took him to the doctor and he has Hepatitis C.  What are the chances?  If you know what I mean.

My son was just moved to ship 5 today just curious will he still get the mail that was mailed to his previous ship. He sounded very down when I spoke with him and hope the mail would help.

My dear Navy Sisters - Just an update on my son who was on Ship 5 due to a minor injury.  He arrived home Wednesday, and when that shaved head came around the corner at the airport, I couldn't have been happier to see him.  Even after a few short weeks in the Navy he has changed.  Ship 5 was far from pleasant, according to my son.  He has told us of a couple of incidents that occurred during his 2.5 weeks in separation, but basically he wants to block that time in his life from memory. 

The disappointment still lingers, as I'm sure it will for some time, that he will not be a part of the US Navy.  Interestingly enough, he came home sick, had a cracked tooth, and is now on three different kinds of meds.  Looking forward to an appointment with his ortho doctor to see if  test results match Navy findings.  Not so sure they will.

Made sure my son had an interview at the local college so that he can get past the nightmare of the last couple of months and move on with his life.  He will enroll today and continue his education (which he gave up for the Navy).  There is light at the end of the tunnel.

I intend to remain a part of this wonderful group of supportive Navy moms/wives so that I might be able to help those who must endure the process of separation. 

Thanks to all of those who supported me during this extremely difficult time.

I want to thank everyone who has been encouraging and supportive recently. It feels good to have strangers pray for you and support you. As far as my husbands status, he called me today and told me that it was a big misunderstanding and that he gets to stay and graduate with his division, as long as everything goes fine from here on out. That was definitely the happiest phone call I have ever received!! So again, thank you all for the prayers, thoughts, advice etc. My husband sounded so happy tonight, and I'm so glad he gets to continue working towards his dream. I feel so awful for anyone who has to go through something like this. Please know that all of you are in my thoughts, and I wish you sons and daughters, husbands and wives, etc., the best of luck for their future.

My son and I filled out his application, leaving nothing out. He had , in the past , been on ADD medication, but not for 3 years. Well let me tell you that application "got lost " by the recruiters and they had him fill out a different one without the history of ADD and was told not to ever mention it.
His medical records were reviewed and he's out.
When a young man is told if you don't write down anything in your past that's not on your application and we find out, you will be discharged and it's basically criminal. He did the right thing.
If his recruiters would have left the first application alone, he, we,wouldn't have had this stressful, heart ache.
How many kids does this happen to?
I contacted the commander of recruiting just so they know this happens
My son is a strong , intelligent, resourceful person. Like all of your children, they will be fine and successful. Hang in there moms.

My husband just called me bawling saying they are sending him home for Raynaud's Disease?! First of all, he doesn't have that... at all. Second, he's been getting harassed for his religious beliefs. I get that they are hard on them on purpose to toughen them up, but this seems a bit extreme to me. I'm just so lost right nowpw and don't even know where to begin dealing with all of this. Any advice would be very appreciated!
