With all due respect, Apache, it's uninformed comments like yours that have made me really dislike posting to these parent sites. Thank you, RockyC and RobEngineer for your very correct assessment....

Thanks,Rob. Guess his taxes will be the last one done, then. He doesn't graduate from MCT until the 19th, and I don't know if he has even set up an account on mypay yet. But the next time he calls...

Our son and daughter went to boot together early last Fall; daughter got COG discharge Nov.30 due to injury and another medical issue. Son graduated Dec. 14 and is still at MCT. My daughter received...

Well, my daughter has been discharged under ELS-COG. Guess that says it all. Her camos and boots have been taken away, her bus ticket requisitioned, and she'll be home soon.

The thing that saddens...

With all due respect,SGT7477, we (my husband & I) AND even her SDI from her original platoon STILL don't think the diagnosis could possibly be right. That's what has us all baffled. But face it, the...

Guess it's because she grew up in a similar moist environment(SW FL) and worked out rigorously as her occupation, and never came down with these symptoms.Just bewildering is all. She is terrified...

Oh, BTW, I have a male recruit (my younger child)on the Island also; he had rifle quals today, and God willing, he graduates 14 Dec.

Thanks for the response,irpat54. One of my two recruits was dropped into the female rehab platoon with a hip injury on 23 Oct. However, she also had PI crud off and on almost since she stepped on the...

Have any of your RECENT recruits at MCRDPI developed severe respiratory problems that would not go away, other than PI Crud? Has anyone's recruit reported an asthma diagnosis, after 6-7 weeks on the...

Thank you for responding, Marine1955. My daughter is active duty recruit, so I will rephrase my question to any parents who have experience with their female recruits and hip injuries...was it...

Last week our daughter/recruit was dropped into FRP during Grass Week at PI for a labral tear in her hip joint. Everything I have read about this injury indicates a lot of time is necessary for...

My son & daughter are both recruits at Parris Island, but their friends who graduated in the past 6 months or so all reported to their MOS schools immediately following MCT. One of those Marines, a...

Since this writing, I have seen a couple of videos, spoken to another Marine who recently graduated, AND to the recruiter,all confirming that this description above is completely inaccurate for...

To Anyone who can help:
I have written to three Marines, all recent (one May 2012,one August 2012, and one in 2011) Parris Island boot camp graduates about the minimum recruit swimming...

Thanks,chulaivet1966,our son is pushing thru the shinsplints,has had to work thru them before, was given boots that fit better last week. However,he pulled something in his neck on Fri.,9/28 (T10)...

Thanks, Tenn. Top. Will do!

Went back in, Chuck, and everything IS in there down to the optional line. Or are your referring to the irrelevant things like favorite color, my Marine's names, Zodiac sign? I completed my profile,...

Very quick question about graduation at MCRDPI. We shipped two recruits the same day, one Female,22, and one Male, 18. God willing they graduate on time together, what do we do in terms of their 3...

First time poster here. Our two children are recruits (one 22 y/o Female and one Male,18 y/o) on day T11 at MCRDPI. While they worked out regularly as poolees, my Male recruit is having shin splint...
