That is wonderful news. I am certain the experience can be life changing. I received a call from my son this afternoon. It was great to hear his voice. I could detect he was in good spirits. He said he would be home in ten to fifteen days. His dis...
My duaghter is home and doing great. she had fun while in boot camp. She made a lot of new friends. She is disappointed that she was not able to finish. She did learn that they tell you one thing and do another. One minute she is up and laughing w...
Hello, I am a mother of a young recruit who is scheduled to be medically discharged. According to his last letter he is receiving physically therapy for shin splints and a knee injury. I had advised him to begin a training routine prior to his enl...
So how long the separation take and when do I find out when their sending my son home? Also, will he get paid while he is still in ship 5? Thanks moms
Hey johnsmom, I talked to my daughter Tuesday and it was not your John that ran away. It was a girl. She said she wanted to leave and they didn't get to her fast enough. She went home the next day. My daughter is also coming home hopefully tomorro...
Josh is 20 and is on the second week of bc. I'm just so worried about him. I don't know what has happened and I haven't talked to him two weeks
Linda, How old is Josh? May be he went in at too early an age. Try to have him get discharged with the possibility of reapplying later on, if he wants (don't shut any doors). My son joined the Navy after graduating from college with a degree in el...
Hi moms. I think I'm in the same boat here. I was at work Saturday when I got a phone call from my husband. He answered the phone at home and it was a petty officer and he said "your son would like to talk to you." So my son gets on the phone and ...
I know how you feel my son is there now waiting to be sent home for Astma. In his case NO, he can't ever be in any part of the military and does not qualify for any benefits after discharge. Usually you have to be in 6 months before you can get di...
My daughter was sent home in June - she had a great time in Ship 5 and has kept in touch with the girls she met there - not so much from her division. I found the Ship 5 group to be a bit negative - I know it's hard not to be able to give your kid...
Yes. There is a group on here "Ship 17" Actually they have changed the ship number to 5 I thnk. A mom there named Rose created the group when her son was sent packing from boot camp. There are lots of phone numbers there, and lots of information f...
WStarkey:
Have you joined Ship 17 group yet? You might want to as they've all been through what you are going through and might be able to help.
I heard thru my sons my space that he was coming home. That is why the weird letter. He did not call us and tell us. We found out by accident and then his friends called. I wonder why. If anyones recruite was ship 11 div 335 and knows something ab...
I have not heard anything else she was supposed to meet with legal yesterday and then call me back today but she has not called yet but it is only 6:30. I am trying to be patient.
As I will for you. Thank you, marrissa and everyone else who has sent their best wishes and prayers.

- Oh my....I know that's hard. I'll continue to pray. You might be able to get some information from Britnie's recruiter.

- Windy,
I'm thinking about you and your daughter. She's so young, with family and friend support, she should bounce back from this experience pretty quickly. I assume she's already home with you so you can put your arms around her and help her through this time in her life. I too am sending prayers for you and Britnie.

Beth said… - Hi Windy - I saw your post about your daughter being discharged. I wanted to share with you a website where you can go and get very informative information from members of the Navy, past and present. We have several retired, and many active. The owner of the site is a retired Chief. We also have a few girls on there that have been discharged, I really think they can help you out.
The site is www.mynavyonline.com You have to become a member, but membership is free. If you come across any problems with logging in, feel free to message me. I am a site Admin over there and can make sure you get into the site easily.
I wish you, your daughter and your family all the best. You are in my thoughts.

Marissa "Proud Nuke Mom" said… - DO YOU THINK HER RECRUITER WOULD CLEAR ANYTHING UP FOR YOU? I TALKED TO MY SON'S RECRUITER AFTER MY PHONE CALL AND HE IS VERY HELPFUL. I DID NOT REALIZE THE RECRUITER COULD CALL BOOTCAMP FOR YOU AND GET INFORMATION. YOU MIGHT TRY THERE..
