There is a purpose for everything they do. I sobbed daily when my SR was going through this! When I hear of another it is just heartbreaking. Here is the hard cold truth…all of our kids are told prior to BC that they need to run run run…get in shape! Mine did not and she surly paid the price for it! I will never say that to her but she know. She passed the run on her very last chance to be able to go to BS and march in PIR! They make them want to get out of FIT. They are made to hate life while in there. It’s to make her stronger. God knows she will be. When my daughter called me in tears I told her she would never forgive herself if a 1.5 mile run kept her from obtaining her goals! I was heartbroken for her but I knew she could do this and needed to!
All SR not passing the final PFA get a short call then off to fit if they pass the run while there is still time to make it to BS they will go in w/ another DIV the return to theirs. You will not get a call unless its one to say I’m a sailor! You can’t really count on that either because if you do not pass BS with your DIV you would be getting a favor to call home on that DIV’s time for calling home! Hang in there ladies they will pass!

My daughter phoned today to say she was being transferred to SHIP 4 DIV 2341 & scheduled to see a Cardiologist tomorrow. Her original PIR was to be 5/26/11 now we don't know when or if. She was crying but says she doesn't want to give up. Says she's being "HELD BACK". What determines whether she will get to go ahead after rehab which she says will take at least a month for a knee injury? Her feet and legs are really swollen and didn't respond to restrictions for a week. Anyone have any experience with this ship/div??
