In hospital
What is up with all the bouts of pneumonia?? I got a call this evening from my fiancé that he’s in the hospital because of it. I told him that I hope he gets well soon, I know he’s disappointed that he’s going to probably be set back a week because of this. On the upside, he caught me before I purchased my plane tickets and made the rest of my travel plans.

I've been hearing that they've been getting ill as well. I wonder if its a combo of the shots they're given that makes their immune system low and then they get ill. I remember when we finally received the first call from my son and he was coughing bad. I just heard that one guy in his unit has pneumonia as well and is in the hospital. I hope they all get well and continue full force.

Hmm, that’s a thought. I guess the shits could be to blame.. I wonder if your son is in the same division as my fiancé. Fingers crossed they all get back on their feet and out there where they can move forward with their futures.

Hopping your fiance gets better soon even if he gets held back a bit thats ok so he can be healthy and strong to finish BC. Prayers for him and for you!

It is not the immunizations/vaccinations. It is thousands of people from all over the country bringing in all sorts of strains of colds and germs, being in close quarters, under stress, and a distinct lack of sleep. It is called the Ricky Crud, and can develop into pneumonia fairly easily, especially because no one wants to go to sick call, so they hide that they are sick until it gets really serious for some. The Navy knows this, and takes the best precautions it can, including the dreaded "peanut butter shot".
I went through Navy boot camp a very long time ago, and I caught Ricky Recruit Crud. It happens. It likely will always happen.
