Without knowing more about his exact status according to the medical staff, it would just be a guessing game. Also, you might get some help from someone on here that is actually stationed at MCRD. First you need to fill out your profile so we have somewhat of an idea whom we are addressing.

Doc advised him with a great diagnosis that he should have no problem after rehab.

Sorry, I was reading this as the POOL not MCRD.

There was a Marine who spent over a year at PI. He refused to go home & later graduated with my son's platoon.

I know that if I had broke something in BootCamp, It would have taken more than a DI to get me off that Depot!! They would've had to make me leave!!!
