Comment by janlee on April 16, 2011 at 1:06pm: sailormom---they have the recruits call home to tell the family that they didnt pass. I wouldnt be canceling any travel arrangement if i were you. This happens quite a bit. There is just about one or two in every PIR group that goes thru this. They will do everything possible in there to help her to pass her tests. These SR's have someplace they need to be in a few days, so the RDC's do whatever they can to see them on their way. If you havent had a phone call, its more than likely she has passed and just doesnt have any way of letting you know. Im sure you will hear something soon...either way. We just went thru this in the last PIR group, and the mother ended up getting the call that all was good. ..:))

Comment by annamichael on April 16, 2011 at 1:04pm: tara - 143 and 144 have battle stations Sunday night. Have your phone with you Monday!!! GO 144!! :)

Comment by tara.Groton.submom on April 16, 2011 at 1:04pm: Nevermind -- I found the schedule for BS and Div 143 & 144 go Sunday night

Comment by tara.Groton.submom on April 16, 2011 at 1:02pm: so have all the divisions finished BattleStations?? I havent heard from my son yet but I also havent heard that Div 143 has done battlestations.

Comment by sailormom ship 3 div 146 on April 16, 2011 at 12:44pm: I would hope so but I'm not sure. I would hope so. I know she is overwhelmed. My heart is breaking for her. She's almost there...Thank you for the encouraging words.

Comment by hholiday42211 on April 16, 2011 at 12:42pm: Don't you think that if she didn't pass on Wed you would have gotten a call? I bet that she DID pass, and wasn't able to call, and is waiting to call you telling you

I AM A SAILOR MOM!!! Hang in there.

Comment by sailormom ship 3 div 146 on April 16, 2011 at 12:35pm: I just got a letter from my daughter, written on April 12, Tuesday, telling me she failed test 3 and may get asmo'd. Has the chance to take again on Wednesday. I haven't heard anything.....I'm so upset for her...The last line of her letter said I'm so sorry! Is there anyway I can find out what's going on?

Comment by proud4son85 on April 16, 2011 at 12:11pm: Go Division 140~!!! I hope they all have fun and relax.
