I hear ya AAAAA. I would have preferred the agony of labor pains over the worry of not knowing what was happening to my son.

I wouldn't say anything to the recruit. It's very possible your son wrote that letter at a particularly low point, but it doesn't necessarily mean he's going to stay there. As brutal as it appears, this is a chance for him to prove something to himself - to see his own strength. With my own son, I noticed a big difference in him, but all in a good way.

If for some reason it's too much for him and he needs to quit, I would wait and cross that bridge when it happens.

Til then, I'll keep you and your son in my prayers.
