Comment by annamichael on April 12, 2011 at 6:15am: Dianne, I thought he couldn't do battle stations without passing the PFA?

When I talked with him yesterday he said, "I started out really good, but then got behind. I thought I had time to make it up." I told him now he knows he doesn't have that time and needs to push through it. I know he'll do it. I'm just so nervous for him that he doesn't believe it, also. I feel like boot camp (at least for him - can't speak for everyone) has broken him down to build him back up. Confidence is a huge thing you have to have to be successful in BC (and anything, really) and I'm concerned this has brought him down. :\ But thank you everyone for the thoughts and prayers. I'll keep you updated, but if I DON'T get a call tomorrow or Thursday, I'll be doing my happy dance all over the place!

Comment by MirrorMaiden88 on April 12, 2011 at 5:59am: annamichael- Thank you for that link, I was worried for a minute. And I know what you mean as much as I would love to hear his voice at this point I am hoping that I don't until next week!!!

Comment by diannep on April 11, 2011 at 11:27pm: annamichael: He'll get more chances after Wed, but he may not need them. I bet he'll get it done then. They actually are able to try all the way until the Thurs before PIR. So he has time...he'll get there!

Anna - My thoughts and prayers are with your SR - With all of us on his side he is sure to pass!
