I would advise my son to stick it out, take the medical treatment. Chances are high that it will clear up and be good to go and not come back. I've not heard of "fungal issues" of the scalp.If he had something like that it would be rare. Just Stay, that way he will have no regrets and will have done all he can for his situation.

Hi Kent,  I went through a different medical situation with my son through Boot.  I know how much he wanted to succeed and follow through but on the other hand it was very discuraging for him.  My son has been on the Stennis for over 2 years now and through everything I have been there for support and reassurance either verbal or visiting him when I can.  I am very proud of him and others that have and are serving.  That answered the call.  With that said the only thing I can say is what I have done and be as supportive as can be and offer possative renforcement to our kids who are now adults.  Congradulation to your son on his graduation and his accomplishments so far.  I am sure there will be many more.  Dave

Kent, glad to hear the update.  We just got back from the PIR on Jan 6.  Our son was in 036.  He had a similar issue with a medical thing in his past record as a civilian.  Took a while to get cleared up and he has to stay in GL another week too.  Hopefully he'll be flying out this next weekend.  But it gave us more time with him.  We got to be with him Friday and Saturday.

Unless he's got a really cute once in a lifetime girl waiting for him, I'd encourage him to stay in.

In three months he's going to deal with a whole different set of corpsman and doctors who may see this fungus quite differently.
