** UPDATE** Thanks to all for all the good wishes. It turns out my son was hurt during training. It is very very hard to get info from him right now. the recruiter said he is in the MRP or somthing. During an exercise a "log" fell on him hurting his back and putting him in the base hospital. It is not critical but will most likely end his hopes for being a Marine, at least at this point. We are waiting to hear about the injury after they evaluate him more. Does anyone know how the military handles injuries like this? Should we be concerned about the level of medical attention he will be getting?
Thanks
Oh boy... Proud but worried.. His date was moved from October sometime to today! They called him this morning and and told him to be packed by 15:00. He is going to Paris Island. I am proud of him but this is a big step for the family. The house seems empty already. I just bought a 92fs for us to train with over the summer... You can feel good that he is going. Great kid (I should say man) . He will help keep us safe.... Oh boy breath..
