unfortunately i am not a mom, however i am a navy wife and I apologize if i am intruding on your post, but my husband has been sent to ship 17 due to a pulled muscle, he was 2 weeks into basic and now they are giving him the option to stay at ship 17 for 6-12 months or have a medical discharge. Just wanted to know if anyone had heard about wives moving to the base and the husbands being able to stay with them then just go to rehab everyday.?

Hi Andrea, I am not sure, and you can ask , but I would think not. Just because he is still a recruit. My son is a recruit also and 6 weeks into Basic, became very ill, although he is not in a civilian hospital right now and that is where I was allowed to visit and spend time with him, once he was sent back to base on a Medical Ship also but Ship 06, he is still treated as a Recruit. Meaning he can only write letters and when allowed he may have a phone call. No visitors at all for him. You may want to contact Ship 17 and ask that question.

Hey Andrea, I just read on one of my pages that Jeannie's husband called ship 17 and also Rose R. had made contact with Ship 17's medical department. Take a look at their site.

Andrea, I'm so sorry to hear about your husband. Is it possible for him to take the medical discharge and re enter at a later date? I've heard of others who are doing that. Why would it be 6-12 months for a pulled muscle? Doesn't that seem a bit excessive? Keep me posted. diane

Thank you Maria and Amber!

I am so glad things are working out. Your sons are strong men and this will make them stronger. I am proud of your sailors. Many would not have the strength to hang in there with a positive attitude. God bless your boys!
