Y'all! Y'all, y'all, y'all - out of RCU!
My son called and he was finally ASMOd from the RCU to a new Div so he can finish out BC and graduate! So happy! They do an "alternate cardio" option now so he doesn't have to run and jump on that bone he's been healing for 3 months and it uses a stationary bike he's been training on (and exceeding OPFA standards on because they gave him a Mock OPFA to be able to ASMO him.) He was so relieved and so are we. And all on his 18th! What a gift! I was happy to hear they could do the training for firearms during the RCU to make up and keep him from being behind so he was closer to graduation! Mama's happy and so is Dad!

RCU question…our son has been in RCU for 2 weeks and not a single letter except the one telling us his new address the day he arrived. He wrote letters consistently in active bootcamp and now nothing. How often do they get phone calls?? We are worried sick!! We have no idea how severe his fracture was or how he’s doing.

I said this in the PIR group as well, but we're so relieved - we got the "I am a Sailor" call today! After the extra 3 months in the RCU, when his new RDC handed him his Navy hat and said "You finally made it" - he got choked up and I get choked up every time I think about it! Also when they were ordered to fall out and instead of saying "last Recruit xxxx" they said, "last Sailor..." it got to him as well. Maybe we can be a mess about this now so we don't fall apart at PIR! hehe
