I'm so happy for you guys! Atleast I know they are doing good. Thanks for posting that you have heard atleast I can live vicariously through all of you!

:-/ crud I don't think I will be getting a call.... or maybe there are just TONS of SRs that it's going to take a while for all of them to get their turn. fingers crossed!!

My fingers crossed too honey! Maybe they haven't gotten their turn yet?

I really hope that's the case, I can't focus on anything else but my phone! haha

Me either!
I am really happy for all of you who have gotten a call. I know it must have been so great! Thank you for taking the time to post information. It has been great to get any news. Still praying I get a call soon.

How long ago did you two get the call? 

We got our phone call 3 hours ago. I hope you get your call tomorrow.
Wondering how they choose who gets to call? Do they let them go by division or call them out by name? Do they have to do certain things right to get a call? Do they line up and wait for an empty phone? I think my head is going to explode!

Our SR, didn't provide a lot of information regarding how they get picked for phone privileges or any specifics other than:

1. SRs in is DIV (366) - I don't know how many - were at the NEX, and made calls from there; and

2. Because of some "issues" within the DIV (not following orders, talking out of turn, etc.) the amount of phone time - compared to what other SRs he knows in other DIVs - seems to be a lesser amount.

He also said that 47 SRs did not pass the PFA, so from what I have learned on this site, that may mean those 47 SRs are putting in extra physical training time, and because of that may not have access to the phones today.

But hey... there's always tomorrow, right?

Here's hoping!

Wonderful that you got a call today! I know you must be so relieved to hear from your SR. Would the 47 SRs that did not pass the PFA be from 11-366 or 11-365 or from both? Sorry so full of questions but new to all this. Thank you for sharing your info with the rest of us. 

Sorry for the slow reply!  I honestly don't know the answer though.  Once we start getting letters this coming week (hopeful!), we'll have more notes and information to share with each other.

I can't wait!
