We are here for you Tracey. You can't help but to worry but please pray and don't worry because God got him and you.

Well my son got it wrong the first time also, and I could not find it until he called again..I am hoping he will call soon. You may want to contact one of the administrators and see which divisions are in ship 4 and maybe try that way, but nothing is certain at this point until he calls back, or writes to you, which they do every Sunday.
I hope this helps some:(.

Hi Tracey,
I do know that if they don't pass initially they are placed in Ship 4 Div 747 and still get the opportunity to take the test again on tomorrow. Either way it will work out and he will pass. Anthony gave me his new ship # after he passed the run. Ship 4 is for the Sick and those who did not pass the run. Soon as you get his call, please update us. The scripted call gives him the Div 747 Ship 4 because he is immediately placed out of his original Division. It will be fine and prayers and I hope this helps. Div 747, Ship 4 will never be a graduating division, its the holding division basically.

Hi Tracey,
It's possible that the other mom may have gotten the division number wrong. What did your son say? Was he going to a new division?
The navy quit putting them into FIT a few years ago, and started placing them with another division with a later graduation date, or they would sent them to ship 5 to start the separation process. So he is better off being placed with another division than the alternative. The advantage here is that has more time to prepare.
I am very sorry about all this, but I promise you in the end it all works out!.
