Good morning ladies -
Alli it sounds like Gavin is doing great, a good attitude is such a big part of boot camp. I think that plays such a critical part of their success at Great lakes.
Toni - I will tell you it's been a while since our son was at boot camp but he also failed his first PFA...I was panic stricken when he called (airline tickets bought, hotel reserved, etc. etc.) but when he called us he talked about everything and just kinda oh yeah...I didn't pass my PFA and I was like.....WHAT?!!! He said don't worry mom, lots of us didn't pass it but we will. And in large numbers they do pass on the final run. They do have the FIT program that helps them in this area and generally if they do not pass it, they go to FIT for very intense training and support and used to graduate a week later - and your son said two months??? Yikes, hoping that is a scare tactic to get them to run just a little faster. I bet he will be okay!
