Thats weird they would do that and not discharge him- id call GI Rights
Maybe because they see that something isn't right and instead of kicking him out, they actually care about their soldier and they want to make sure he gets the help he needs. IMO, this is good news and good for the soldier.
Just an update: he has an appt with their psych dr. He did not get in trouble. Got a "negative consequence", which I hear is basically like a warning. But I think they know something is a little "off", hence the dr. I'll update after Fridays appt. thanks for all your help!
After the OP described her son growing up, the first thing I thought of was mental issues. I can't believe he was encouraged to go into the military at all.
I had a feeling his little adventure into the military was going to go awry, after seeing the OP's posts asking about how hard is it to pass the grenades test, and how their family is all big on military, and how they are all talking about the issues he is having during Basic.

smh
Why don't people just wait to hear from the OP. It's so easy to second guess and say what should have been done. But none of us know the parents or this kid. So how can one know it all when we don't know the young man well or anything beyond what's posted. As she noted it was his desire and decision to join, he thought it would help him overcome some issues, and I suppose give him more confidence and so forth. I don't think mom said anything wrong in her posts here, in fact she has been quite patient with some posters playing armchair quarterback and psychologist. I just hope things will be OK and he can move past all this.
Because it's obvious the woman knows her son has these issues, and IMO, he shouldn't have been encouraged to go into the military to fix them; that's what doctors are for.

And that is not the topic of this thread... So, it will end here.
She hasn't logged on since the 23rd, I don't think she wants to talk about it anymore..
Sorry, that is not correct...
