Can you get recycled for being in Quarantine?

I'm currently in week 20 of osut and have had symptoms of covid. I went to sick call to get tested and was told that I have to be quarantined for an estimate of 5 days. I have just finished the FTX and since being here I've only missed the Eagle Skills Asessment (ESA). Now I'm being told that I could possibly be getting recycled.

It's possible, but they typically don't recycle you to zero unless you're a screw up. If it's medical or an injury you can pick up with the next platoon. Happened to a guy I was with when he broke his hand.

In the hands of your chain of Command- because of the assignment orders. Possible, but normally just at the point of your quarantine.

Probably
I remember being a private and thinking being recycled is one of the worst things that could happen. In hindsight it would have been a nice break.

What company are you in?

Certain things have to be completed for them to graduate you. Normally if you miss them they just recycle you back far enough to hit that item again if they can't slot you in with another company to do it. Sucks but that's what it is.
