Jessiesmom, so happy for the call Bravo Zulu for the inspection that is awesome, I will keep her in my thoughts and prayers. glad got to talk to her your right she needs to push  through and just go. My husband used to have Recruits who had finished their run go back and run with Recruits that needed extra encouragement the RDC know when someone is a little slow and try make sure they have encouragement to finish in time. I have Faith she can do it

michaelsmom, were you ever based at Fort Knox? I lived on base at Fort Knox for 2 years and my SR was born there at Ireland Army Hospital. :)

How exciting jessiesmom2013, you got a call... I would tell you to tell her to run with my SR but he runs fast, he said his last run was like 10 minutes and it was after being in limited duty for a week. He has always been a runner, played Soccer since he was 8 years old.

She asked you to make 181 brownies??

I send my SR pictures and jokes all the time, I tell him to share them but I don't know if he does.

I will be thinking of her on Friday and all the SR's to pass this last physical fitness test.

I got a call tonight from my SR.  Got to talk to her for 10 minutes.  She earned a 20 minute call because she got a 5.0 on her inspection!!!!!!!!!!!  Yay, for her!  She was crying because she is worried.  she said that her last PFT is on Fri the 24th.  She said that she failed the last run - time was 18:32.  She said that they didn't get to hydrate last time which is a big NO NO and that she threw up after the run.  She said that the RDC told the group that they will get to hydrate this time.  I told her to find someone to run with.  She said that there are a couple of them that have a rough time.  She was so upset that she was told that if she doesn't pass the run, she will not get to walk with her group.  The only thing that I could tell her was to push her self to get through it.  She said that she is going to run with a buddy and just keep going.  Said that she has to get it in 15 or less.

Please if you all can do this for me. Light a candle and send your prayers her way on Friday.  She really needs them.

On the brighter side, she loved the minion picture I sent to her.  She said that there are a few girls that were having a really bad day and she showed them the pictures that I sent to her and she said that it really helped.  She said to send more funny pictures.  AND she asked me to make 181 hot chocolate brownies.  The RDC said "brownies are good".  LOL

 

Thank you for the ear. And I hope you all have a good night.

I bet it does seem like an eternity. I have watched youtube videos about it and they all look miserable in there.

I am exited also, but nervous at the same time thinking about everything they have to do.

The gas chamber is a piece of cake it is the ultimate confidence builder!!! I as I can attest since I have done it  more than once in my military career it is to teach them to quickly and correctly get their gas mask on and its only tear gas out in the real world it could be anything. hopefully they listened well on how to don it a cause a minute in there seems like an eternity. We are excited since they are now in the home stretch :)

I've been thinking about all the things our sons and daughters have to do this coming week and part of next week. I am so nervous about the gas chamber, I can't even imagine having to do that.

How is everyone else doing?

jessiesmom,

I did post this on Thursday, 4 pages back, but here it is again for you!

 

Friends,

This scripture is so appropriate for the Battlestations that your SRs will be going through soon.  Perhaps you can share with your SR in a letter now.

             "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name;

              you are mine.  When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;

              and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you.

              When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames

              will not set you ablaze.  For I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One

              of Israel, your Savior..."

                                                                                     Isaiah 43:1b-3a

Glorious Day!

     "And you also were included in Christ when you heard the Word of Truth,

      the Gospel of your salvation.  Having believed, you were marked in Him

      with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing

      our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession--

      to the praise of His glory."

                                                                                      Ephesians 1:13-14
