Not very good news

 Got a very disconcerting letter from our SR. Guess here is a problem with drill and a test. So far, they have gotten no flags, and are dependant one one person(?) to ace test2 or no flag again??? Apparently they can practice drill fine, but when it comes time to perform, it falls apart. Says that if thy can't get it together in the next 2 weeks, possible set back as a div. Was thinking that this week is final PT ans BS. The letter we got today, doesn't sound good at all...Just am hoping to get the "I made it"call. I'll wait till Thursday, then it maybe time to call the recruiter for info.

Ahh. The old, "You guys are such crap (or other, more colorful metaphor)! You're never going to make it to PIR." story. While there's always a first time, I imagine this is more of the usual mind games. Almost all the divisions hear a smidgen of negative motivation a time or two. Be encouraged! I've heard this at least fifty different times, and have NEVER seen a division held back.

@stormer41: Pulling for them! They'll get it together and  zStratMom is right...although it is disheartening that they haven't received a flag, there are big minds games and scare tactics used. Just hope they can come out on the other end of it proud! I know they will.

This is so funny, my son has done nothing but write me horror stories about 07/130, the same exact type of stuff - bottom of their training group, might be held back or separated into other divisions.  And yet, they all made it through Battle Stations.  I'm glad to hear that this may all be part of the "game".
