According to the letter I got today, our division did their last PFA yesterday. Well God must have been one my side yesterday...I had this weird urge that our SR might need some help so I lit my blue candle. Odd enough that was a test day.
My SR made the gas chamber sound rough but not hard. He said everyone did good. They had another round shots which sounds like is getting them all sick again. Also the RDC's are really pushing them physically this week.
I think that is all the news I have from this letter. Anyone else get news.

Comment by Parrothdgal just now
7 letters from my Sr today! She said 15 days to go! Man it take a long time to get a letter! She said they did gas chamber and it was hard on some people...but it was not bad for her! She said it was funny watching ppl walk out of it! I'm glad it was not bad for her. May 27th was 5-5 day Tuesday 6-1 day personnell inspection and firefighting. Wed. 6-2 she went to Dr to see if she can get put back on full duty so she can run PFA @1400. Thursday 6-3 is 2nd test 3. Friday 6-4 drill Sunday BS!!! Pizza party and more drill for PIR. Hat exchange after BS.
***********She made it sound like PFA was WED. Anyone else get this information? **********************
My SR said noone will be turned away for PIR....there is a guest list but the will let other ppl in come PIR.

No. They don't run BS Friday or Sat. Our SR are scheduled to go Sunday night at 8pm to Monday morning at 8. Then they get a pizza party and have their capping ceremony. Then hopefully phone calls! YAY
