He needs to take care of his injuries as soon as possible. I had a tiny stress fracture in my femur. I was in Kuwait for OIF and the doctor thought I just pulled a muscle in the gym and let me keep going until I completely broke my leg just from walking....compound femur fracture. Worst pain in my life!!! I had to be medevac'd to Germany for emergency surgery and leave my Company without saying goodbye. It was a very tramatic expirience for me and this was my first deployment. I didnt want to come home this way. Now Im on medhold going on 9 months post surgery rehabbing. It sucks! On top of all this my future in the Navy is uncertain and I will probably never be able to run again. Im a female and my health and fitness is very important to me. I ran three miles a day at the gym in Kuwait. Your boyfriend needs to suck it up and take care of himself regardless if he likes where he is or not. It could be worse. Good luck to you.
