Waterponie- that's what happened to my sister. She already felt the pain during bootcamp... Since she was about to graduate, she did not say anything as she was so scared to be set back. When she did her final run that's when she broke her shinbone in half... We were all broken hearted!!! Our whole family booked our flight to witness her PIR... But we are not able to do that anymore... When she finishes BS, she'll go straight to A school!

I want to share my sister's experience with everyone- hopefully today is her last day in bootcamp! She wants her liberty so badly...

Hello everyone!!! I have been following the thread... We received a call from my sister yesterday who stayed in RCU for 5 months because of her injury. She suffered from broken tibia been in the hospital for 1 month and transferred to RCU! She was very devastated! She broke her leg during her final run 10 days prior to her PIR! That night was the worst call i've ever received in my life! She never cried because of the pain caused by her broken leg she cried because she wanted to finish bootcamp with her division! She even passed that final run but miscounted the laps... She broke her leg on the 13th lap... She had her cast for 4 mos...
It's been very hard for all of us especially for her... She's been a fighter!
She failed her med PFA 2 weeks ago and hurt her knee.. the call yesterday brought us great news she passed her med pfa on wednesday and was tranferred to div 2347! We are so excited, she will be doing her actual PFA today, if passed BAttlestations tonight!!!! Tomorrow will be the big day for her!!!
It's been a long journey...
Please include my sister in your prayers...
Thank you!
