DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

sunnysandy57, Did your son tell you what the problem is? Is it his PFA (swimming, run), medical? If it is because his run or swimming has not been passed, don't worry yet (I know it is impossible not to) he still has at least a couple more chances to get that done and he will be given every opportunity and the help he needs to get it done before next Friday. Has he been moved to the FIT division?
Now, more than ever for you "no news is good news"!!

Thank you Ellen for the support. He finally called last night to say hi is in the VA hospital in Chicago, he has just physically and mentally collapsed. He was one of 3 squadron leaders? for the 918 division and he said he had to do all of the work which he didn't mind but he had to get up and 1 1/2 hours earlier than everyone and he couldn;t get to sleep at night. So all in all he was getting 3-4 hours sleep the whole 7 weeks.
He was running the run to see if he could break the current record and ran out of ai his lungs went dry. Then when they started the fire training they asked if anyone didn't feel up to it physically and he told them he had been blacking out and seeing things. And to top it off he said he was voted best MVP? and was to have tea with the Admiral this week!!!!!
So He said he could call now he finally has time in the hospital and he would have to go back to the base for 3 more weeks to phase out of the navy!!! How sad!!!! Any way God has has a good lesson for him. Besides being in the navy he wanted to be a high school physics and calculus teacher but never thought he could manage high school students and now he said I can!!!!! He is a wonderful man to have as my son, and now as I have to go back to Saudi Arabia on the 25th I will miss him coming home.
Does anyone need a hotel for three mights up there? I have a rental car too out of midway that I guess I won;t be able to use. Fortunately southwest will let you keep the credit!!! Thanks for you sweet ladies listening to me. I pray your sons all make it through with flying colors. Maybe one can wear my sons ribbons!!!!!
I will be on here to keep in touch! Blessings, Sunnysandy!

You are in my thoughts and prayers. You are right though 'sunnysandy57' you have a great man as a son. It sounds like he has been able to discover how strong he really is and follow his dreams! His commitment to his bunk mates shows his true dedication. Sometimes however it is our bodies that give out before we do. Keeping you and your family ever present in my prayers and thoughts.
