tdgraves, james dropped also when he couldn't do a run. His pulse rate had been going quite high and he finally couldn't do it. Again, He had gotten very out of shape sitting around for 3 months to class up. He just didn't know any better & there wasn't any group around at that time for me to warn him. That's why I have stressed the importance of staying fit & keeping up with thier working out. I'm not saying that happened to your son, but just want to make sure they realize how important it is if they have to wait to class up. What will your son be doing onthe Jarrett? James also wants to reapply but he thought it was 2 years he had to wait. It's hard checking on things since he's been out to sea. I usually know more then he does & give him the info. Gotta love this site. LOL So all have a safe & great holiday season. And good luck to all our future SWCC

Hello new friends
I would like to give a update on my son. He made it to the 4th week of SWCC training, and had to drop because of his run.
He was very upset. He hopes to try again in a year. But for now he is going to be on the FF Jerrod. He is coming home for Christmas then going to Great Lakes than back to Calif. to join the Jerrod. I now have told you all I know. I love this site and hope to get alot of my new questions answered.
I hope you all have a Merry Christmas

FYI on the "I'm a sailor" call, they wear the recruit cover (hat) until they complete Battlestations, then there's a ceremony where they get their "sailor" cover. Actually they go from being Recruit Appretice (RA) to being Seaman Appretice (SA).

Good morning ladies, I hope you day is great. I'm so happy that you got CALLS! slimkim, I was on the flight to GL when my call came so I missed it. No worries, I havn't heard of any Div 800 not passing! That's wonderful tht they are doing so well. Be sure to check the RTC site for the honor graduates, yours might be one!!

Thanks, Slim; I kinda thought that might be it.
Half...Mine will be staying in GL for a couple months, due to the need to take meds for a TB test reaction. (He doesn't have it, just had been exposed.)

Slimkim and Mel- Since your recruits are a week ahead of mine, do you know when they will go to CA yet? You can pm me if you don't want to post it here.

lol that is funny... umm when they pass their battle stations and are for sure going to grad u get the "I'm a sailor" call to let you know they made it, they passed!!

Slimkim, I'm referring to your last comment, about getting "the sailor call" in GL???
