Hi Everyone, I just got a VERY short call too. So glad they passed!! I wish they didn't have Sailors in their group that messed up their phone calls that were supposed to be an hour long by sleeping in the bathroom...

It's too bad they all keep losing privileges because a few in the DIV keep messing up :( At least we'll get to see them face to face soon!

I know. I just feel so bad it was such a discouraging experience. All it takes is a few to ruin it for everyone. He said they have been up since 4:30 yesterday. Hopefully A school will be better. He said he made some good friends.

A school should be so much better for them! It'll be nice that they have a little more freedom to communicate and we should be able to see them for Christmas leave too...it's really not that far away : )

Can anyone fill me in on what happened last night or today? I didn't get a call, instead he called his gf. Not a bad thing but I have been anticipating this call for the last 8 weeks and was on the edge of my seat all day, waiting. Now I hear something about they had the option to go back a week or stay with their division? I sure hope one of you ladies can help me figure this out. I am hoping my SR passed, at least his gf thinks he did too. She said it was a very short call.

My son said he passed & he is an official sailor. But it has been hell since test 2. I guess quite a few didn't pass. I heard some passed second time. Today they were suppose to get an hour call & a couple SR's were caught sleeping in the bathroom so they were all punished. I guess their were a few SR's that got in trouble on a regular bases and all suffered. Only 62 out of 88 are graduating.
I am sure you would know by now if he didn't graduate. Best wishes!!!
