Hi Ladies,
It sounds like our boys have been doing pretty well and have been doing the firefighting and gas chamber this week! It does sound like their second test was a little rough, though, because some didn't study. I'm sure it was a wake up call and they are doing better now! I hope all your SRs are doing well :) Not much longer until we see them!!

It won't be long now until you get to see your recruits or should I say Sailors? Captains cup will be a week from this Saturday and that is a great day for them to just have fun and relax a little bit. And usually the winners get an extra phone call and that is always good so good luck to all your recruits :-)
I have had a bunch of messages from people wanting to know if it is too late to order ribbons and I thought it would be easier to tell you here rather than email each person separately. It is not too late to order the ribbons to wear to PIR. Just click on my name and send me a friend request if you want more info. Thanks, I have all your recruits in my prayers <3

NavyMOM5243,
I am so anxious to get ours. Can you please tell me what the "logo" looks like? We won't get ours until after PIR, which is ok since it isn't quite 'sweatshirt weather' here yet and that is what we ordered.

I got a letter from my son saying they did horrible with test 2. 15 individuals failed and they are no longer graduating with honors :-(. He also said the RDCS hate them now and barely talk to them.
I feel so bad, I can't wait for this to be over!!!!

how did you all find out about test 2, my sr said he failed his test the first time but passed the second time, is this the test you speak of, and are the 15 individuals still graduating? leaving Maine on Sun nite the 28th, hope grad. doesnt change days before and we are there for no reason

I would think if he passed the second time he would be graduating on time. I'm sure you would have received a call by now if it changed.

My SR wrote that 15 recruits and not studied and done badly on the second test also. It's too bad, because it sounded like they were doing really well before that. He didn't say what happened to the guys that failed, but I'm sure if graduation dates were to change with the students that were rolled back, they would have called by now. I'm so happy your son passed the second time pjhhearn! If you haven't heard from him, I'm sure his graduation is still the same. My SR thought they were going to get a pone call last week, so I'm not sure what happened there. 10 more day ladies :D
