Recruit dad and s bit worried. Son passed out during the Crucible
So last night I'm on Facebook and I see one of my boys' icon lit up, which is odd because he's been at MCRD San Diego for the last 12 weeks and He should have started the Crucible at 2 AM that day. In short order I get a panicked call from his girlfriend saying He passed out during the hike. He was in Hospital for 24 hrs observation. We haven't gotten an official call or notification on his status, but somehow there is a smart TV in his hospital room and he was able to hit Facebook through that and we were able to talk to him, briefly, that way. From what he described, the dork got dehydrated and got hit with heat exhaustion, cramped up and fell out.
Anyway, here is where I'm concerned. This is the Crucible. I have no doubt he *will* graduate, but he may not be able to graduate on time, with his twin brother, which was his goal. (His twin brother, by the way, is apparently doing fine). If he's laid up for 24 hrs during other points it shouldn't be a big deal, but this happened during the crucible. Is he likely to be delayed, and for how long?
Thanks a bunch and thanks to all who served
