Navy Diver

Good morning... have a question... my son is currently in Diver prep school in Great Lakes, IL... during the training, he was sent to medical and diagnosed with exercise induced asthma & given 21 days of light duty... so he can't continue with the training or graduate with other guys he had started...
today, he is scheduled to do some stress tests... after that, he will speak with his master chief about what will happen...

what would be the worst case? i am at home/work, worrying about his future in the Navy...& i am sure my son is too...

Worst case he gets medically separated. Most likely he'll go undes or get to re-rate.

he's got the result from the medical & found out that he has pneumonia... so 5 days to take antibiotics and go back to see if it's all cleared up. if it has and all looks good, he will be rolled back to another class (we don't know for sure when as 800 divisons not graduating every friday...)
if for some reason, they decided to take him off from Diver training, he will be reclassed & will have to find another rating...

i am a bit concerned about the time they will hold him up there to roll him back... my son mentioned that it could take up to 4 to 5 months for him to be rolled back... what will they do with him until that time?

It shouldn't take that long for another class to start. When I was in dive prep we had two dive classes going at a time.
