Handling Illness during Boot Camp
I'll admit that I've read about recruits getting sick--other parents have personally written to me about it as a "requirement" in Boot Camp.
After a couple of vague letters decribing sore throat and fevers, my younger son reports that several days ago he was put on bed rest due to bronchitis.
I know that my older son is suffering from something similar--along with a number of other recruits in their platoon.
Since the mail is a half-week behind, could someone let me know what the policy/standard is for dealing with real illness for a recruit. I thought that there was a max of 3 missed days, but I realize that even that might be too much.
I want to be able t write to my recruits with encouragement, even if what we have to say is that we will be attending two separate graduations. rather than one...
What say ye?
