I agree with these ladies, SailorMom. What great talent you have! I have a feeling many may want to share this with their own SRs!

My Friday night thought:
It has been a journey so far, which started this fall.
The wait, a letter and a hopeful call.
Days of searching for information around
Anything out there, to settle us down.We wake each morning with our child at heart -
And each eve- we hold them close as days part.
No words can express our love inside -
It is a given for us - a knowing of pride.Blue candles burn brightly as graduation draws near
A reminder to all - of our loved one so dear.
A proud moment for all, one to hold tight
Soon to know they will be in our sight.Days gone by with their future ahead,
The journey for all which the Navy has led.
Keep all in our hearts as they travel their way -
Of Honor, Courage and Commitment each day.Congrats all - we made it this far.

If he doesn't pass on Monday they will move him into the FIT division, where he will be worked with and given more opportunities to pass it.
If he passes by Wednesday they will put him through BST-21with whatever divisions go through that night so that he can graduate on his original date.
Sometimes they have even gone through that Thursday the night before PIR. If this were to happen the Sailor usually does not participate in PIR but sits in stands...too tired...but graduated with TG.
If he doesn't pass before his original PIR date he will continue to try until he does. Not sure how many for swim but we here that for the run it is about twelve tries.
Once he passes he will go through BST-2, pass that, and then go on to A school...no PIR.
Recruits are usually permitted calls when their status changes, so they can let loved ones know.
Praying he passes on Monday. :-)
