Today should be the day for 013/014/902 to make their I'm a Sailor calls! They are finishing up now....experiencing their emotional and rewarding capping ceremony this morning. Keep those phones close this afternoon if you have SAILORS in those divisions!
Good Morning! Safe travel for any who may be leaving for GL today!

Happy Happy dance!!! Two days until I leave and get to see my SR. Burning my blue candle, hoping for a call soon :)

I don't either diannep.
If they have a medical waiver for something (which yulontay's son does) and do fine in BC it doesn't seem right and is frustrating.
I could see how if they had the Medical Waiver to enlist and then didn't do well then the need for more testing but not if they did well in BC.
But that's for the "powers that be" I guess.
Sometimes someone may not have had any trouble with a medical condition in years and BC brings it out. I really think it is just all the stressors...and all the adrenaline pumping through your body adds to it. The difficulty is that if BC brings it out there is a risk of it happening on active duty.

yulontay - Praying for your sons situation...also for you.
If your son is held over he will remain onboard RTC after graduation in THU - Temporary Holding Unit (It's on a Ship/barracks on RTC). If this happens it is possible for him to have extra Liberty time PIR weekend. Just daytime Liberty and subject to THU's rules. I believe they are allowed to have their cell phones while in THU.
I know that is not the point and it would be best for him not to be on hold at all, but just thought I would put that out there.
