All the people in FIT for running run together. So if one falls or gets injured the run stops. That attempt does not count against any of the runners. It happened 4 times while my daughter was in FIT. I was going crazy because I thought she would only be there for a set time, so each day that went by I thought was her last chance! I just knew I was going to get that call saying she had failed! She did not cry when she called to say she passed but I did. I did get a call from Lilly her 2nd week at FIT, but not sure if they all get the chance to call.

Katheryn, what do you mean by "if someone falls it doesn't count as a run"?
-

I am sure it is making you crazy, my daughter was in fit for almost a month! Longest month of my life. It was strange because we assume they run it every Mon-Wed-Friday but things change. If someone falls it doesn't count as a run, holidays no run. So 10 tries can take a while! With my daughter in fit were several people who missed between 10 seconds up to two minutes and they all passed eventually. Keep flooding her with letters it does make a difference. Thank God for Sammy 1990 I would not have survived without her!

Was there a Battlestations run last night? Hoping my SR passed her PFA yesterday and was able to do BST.

The lack of information is making me nuts! My daughter supposedly retested on Monday and could have done BST that night but we never got a call. We have to assume she didn't pass I guess, but is it possible that she passed and wasn't able to do BST until last night and that is why we haven't gotten a call yet? I realize their priority isn't keeping us updated, but I can't help but feel frustrated.

Thank you sammy1990. I am at a total loss. I sent a letter to her today to give her encouragement. I hated leaving Chicago without being able to see her. I just keep crying over and over. Not so much about not getting a graduation but about not getting to see her. She did say that once she passes she will go into THU and be able to have Liberty. Do you know anything about this?

should be able to call after passing and before battle stations.

We got a call from our SR yesterday. She will retest on Monday. Will she get to call when she passes the PFA or have to wait until after Battlestations?
