I need some advice! My son is at RTC currently in Ship 5. He was RCPO and led his division to BS21 but was not fit to compete. He was diagnosed as having Mono and they are currently trying to separate him. His spleen was twice its normal size but has returned to its original size. He has met with legal and all of his test scores were excellent but this happened two days before BS21. He wants to stay but is being told to go home and re-enlist. that would mean that RTC would go from 8 weeks to 13 weeks and he would have to pay for all sorts of tests etc....... What do you all think he should do? He is a great kid and more than qualified???? Please advise!!

It's been a long time since I have been here. A lot has changed. My sailor Sarah, is now a HM3 and spent the last year stationed in San Diego. She is now deployed and is serving on the USNS Mercy (PP18).  Perhaps there is another Father that has a loved one stationed on the Mercy or with the 7th fleet?  If so, I'd love to hear from you.
