Med Discharge / Bootcamp Recruit
Question: My son joined the Marines Dec 2016 and endured 13 weeks of training then he was injured during 2nd day of Crucible with torn ACL. Sadly, after coming so close, he was not able to finish the Crucible or graduate as a Marine. Instead he was sent to MRP where he stayed for 30 days awaiting surgery.
He had a successful surgery in mid March 2017 and was recently moved to PEB. I guess I don't know enough about this unit and am hoping for clarification. What happens now? Does he just wait for a medical discharge or will they try and rehab him to be able to rejoin an active Platoon? If discharged is he qualified for any medical or educational benefits since he didn't graduate? Will he be able to re-enlist? Thank you in advance
