My Daughter did NOT pass swimming test (treading water) what is the process now
Hi everybody, I need some advice. My daughter did not pass the Prone test. I want to know what will happen to her now. She will not be able to graduate with your Division on February 1st. She has been put on a 6 day hold. What will happen if she still do not get it then. Also do they have any kind of help for parents to make it to their children's graduations.

She will be put in a FIT division, where they work with them on this type of thing. If after a certain number of times she can't pass or just gives up, they will separate her.
Sense she will not make her own PIR(aka graduation) she will not be partaking in one. IF she passes, she will just be sent on to her school, if she doesn't she will be sent home via the cheapest means to the goverment.
If she doesnt' PIR and you go up there, you will not see her as she is still a recruit and in training.

There is no help to go. Sorry.
The RDC's in FIT are awesome. Tbey do not want to see the SR fail. They become a family since she will not be alone. After my daughter got sick and had to have some mi.or surgery, this made running an issue since it was in the groin area they workex and encouraged her so much. She was in RCU and FIT for i think 5-6 weeks. Maybe longer. It seems so long ago. They really do work with the SR to watch them prevail. Good luck, if you need anything... questions answered. Message me and i will give you my number. We are not that far away that if you need a shoulder, we can rally a few moms to help you and uphold your daughter.
