Got my letter today!! Sounds like they are all doing well as a Division now!! I am soo happy about that. Said the earned their scholastic and athletic flag...whoo hoo!! Was stressed becuse of HELL week... glad that is over for them.
One day she spent 3.5 hrs dusting, wiping, ironing and folding making sure that everything was absolutly perfect...came through and destroyed it in seconds for inspection.. Stayed up the next night doing the same and they did the same. She is getting frustrated with that.
She is craving sweets and they were serving ice cream snacks at chow...but they werent allowed to have any!! She was soo bummed!!
She said she is dying to watch a movie, read a book or something. When she was at the dentist she said Nascar was on tv and she was sooo happy just to see that!!! Says she knows she had things good but now realizes they were actually GREAT!
She is soo ready for PIR but said they got another chit and 1 1/2 more and they get sent back. Oh how I pray this does not happen!! -

Yeah! Got two letters today! She sounds very positive and upbeat. Said she wasn't really homesick too much. (Way to make your Mom feel good......LOL) Said they got their Athletic and Scholastic flags and that they did weapons turnover inspection and she got zero hits, so she was pretty proud of that. Said she did 54 pushups and 62 sit ups which was good but she doesn't think she passed her running. Does anyone know if they have to pass everything individually or if it is a combined score for the PFA? Please send up some prayers for her running. She said she really enjoyed the questionaires. She also said that they were working together good, but people talking is what gets them in trouble most of the time. Two more weeks ladies and we have survived boot camp........Yeah!

She was on the other Division 17 site not too long ago. I thinks she had previously said that she thought her daughter was going to be held back because of some medical issues. You can send her a private message and see where she is at :-).

Hello Moms, I haven't been around much. We got a call from Amanda that she has been moved to the Seperation Division. She will not be graduating and is coming home within 10 - 20 days. She has had trouble adjusting and some medical issues. We have mixed feelings about all of this and are still processing it. We are glad she's coming home and are sad she won't be able to continue because this is all she has wanted to do for so long.We have to figure out what to do next.
Our family wishes you all the best and will be thinking about you on PIR day. Thanks for being here.
