Question
my daughter was in navy bootcamp and suffers from stretched muscle fractures she is being sent home to recovery will she be able to heal and go back and try bootcamp again
The truth is maybe. She will have to heal and see the type of discharge given to her on her paperwork. There will be a service-determined waiting period before she can re-enlist and she will have to show that she is healthy again. It will be at least 6 months to a year; if not longer.

Expertise
I am currently an active duty Army Captain in the Military Police Field. I have been enlisted (Military Intelligence) and attended The United States Military Academy at West Point. I can answer questions related to the Army, posting, jobs, lifestyle, workings... pretty much anything you can throw at me with the exception of very specific recruting or medical questions. I have no expertise in what it takes to get in the military other than the fact that I, myself, joined at one point in time.
Experience
I have experience in both deployed and garrision environments as a Military Police Officer.

Bachelor of Science in Arabic and French from United States Military Academy at West Point.
