David he will succeed! The first 48 hours in bootcamp is hell. Their world as they know it have been turned upside down. We've been through this experience not too long ago and but it will get better as they begin to adjust and start to understand their purpose, to learn the culture and to do what it takes to be a US Sailor. Hang in there and have faith. Write to him letters of encouragement and support daily if possible...

My son had similar sleeping habits prior to boot camp. RTC will no doubt fix that and he will learn the ways and to do what needs to be done to the best of his abilities. The one huge difference is that it's not just about himself anymore but about working as a division team...
