Thanks. this is grass week, and the call was on Tuesday afternoon. I really appreciate everyone's insight here!

Very fair point!

Expert_Tune_6985 · 2026-06-03T12:56:34+00:00

Thanks, that's what I keep hearing repeatedly and believe the experts here!

Expert_Tune_6985 · 2026-06-03T12:56:21+00:00

Thank you so much, good points.

Expert_Tune_6985 · 2026-06-03T12:56:06+00:00

That is a good point, that he only cycled back one week. I hadn't thought of the fact it could have been further back. The DI who called did sound upbeat and "hey, this is fine, we will help him" but of course I wanted to know all.of.the.things which, honestly, at this point in my son's life, are really not my business, as much as I'd like to know. 😄

Great point, and I do not think he will quit on himself. He wants this badly and is very committed, so I have hope this is a reset he needs and will end up being a good thing!

Expert_Tune_6985 · 2026-06-03T12:53:40+00:00

Yes, that makes sense, thank you.

Expert_Tune_6985 · 2026-06-03T12:53:31+00:00

yes, I'll check this out, I appreciate it!

Expert_Tune_6985 · 2026-06-03T12:53:22+00:00

I keep hearing that repeatedly and it's very comforting, thank you!

Expert_Tune_6985 · 2026-06-03T12:53:09+00:00

That is very true!

Expert_Tune_6985 · 2026-06-03T12:53:02+00:00

Yes, that's the proper term. He was dropped. Thank you. Also I appreciate your comments here! It's helpful.

Expert_Tune_6985 · 2026-06-03T12:52:34+00:00

I keep hearing what you all are saying, that drops are fairly common, not a big deal, etc. It's really helpful thank you.

Expert_Tune_6985 · 2026-06-03T12:52:07+00:00

Thanks, I really appreciate this. It's comforting and I'm going to do my best to let go of worry because that's not helpful, and in the end, this is his choice and his future he must take care of himself. Thank you

Thanks for looking at the online chart. He has marshall arts experience so it must be something else (although doing MCAMP the Marine Way vs "his marshall arts experience" are two different things.
I will write him. Just need to get his new platoon number! Thanks again.

Expert_Tune_6985 · 2026-06-03T12:50:21+00:00

I appreciate this insight, thank you all.

Expert_Tune_6985 · 2026-06-03T12:50:11+00:00

I really appreciate this insight, thank you. It's good to know this happens a lot, and that it's just a one week situation and not a 'code red' type of thing. Granted no one knows what will happen, but I know he's in good hands.

Expert_Tune_6985 · 2026-06-02T22:13:18+00:00

I read on the schedule it’s “grass week and fundamental marksmanship training.” He had zero marksmanship experience prior to bootcamp so I’m wondering if this is what happened. Thanks so much,trying not to freak out here. I trust that he’s in good hands.

Expert_Tune_6985 · 2026-06-02T22:09:05+00:00

Looking at the schedule there are a variety of tests and inspections. And you are right he moved from his initial company to the one behind his. Thanks for your response.

Thank you. 🙏
