If they didn't pass their PFA, the norm is that they call home to say they will not graduate. If you didn't get that call, assume that all is well!
Congrats on the new sailors today! So glad that all went thorugh last night...sorry about those who didn't pass their final PFA. They will get more chances to pass that. If so, normally there is a Battlestations on Thurs night that they can be in if they pass the PFA---and still make their PIR. Thing is...we aren't certain that there is a BattleStations tomorrow night. Once again, conflicting dates given by the ladies in the group. So praying that there IS a BattleStations tomorrow night and that those SRs pass their PFA, and are in that one. Meanwhile, they will be in the FIT DIVISION until they pass the PFA.
I've got a Sailor!!!! Congrats to all the rest!! Thank you all for all the support!!
Hoooyahhhh!!!!
My new sailor called this afternoon while I was substituting in our school district. I was sick to my stomach that I missed it, but he got a hold of my husband at least. He said he's going to try to call back again tonight, so that temporarily stopped my tears. Ship 4, Div. 19. Didn't get any details, because hubbie doesn't make note of those too often. Hopefully, he will get to call again tonight and then I'll get the juicy stuff. Here we come Chicago!!! :) Congrats to everyone!!
Kyle is officially a sailor!!! He said everyone from DIV 020 Passed!!! Way to go to all the sailors!!!
Yay!!!! Our daughter is a sailor!!! She did say not everyone made it through though Div 018, but I think she was talking about the PFA from yesterday and not battlestations!
but....my poor dog!!
Debbie G: Mine is N.K.R. and he called a while ago. Hang on, mama ;)
