Angie,
My son wasn't held back, but they have moved him divisions 2 times and changed his PIR date from 6/25 to 7/1. He was in special op but they decided he had a bad knee even though he told me it felt fine and told me the MRI they did showed nothing. So them moved him out of that division and into another. I got a phone call this morning and he said he LITERALLY had one minute to tell me. He said they told him they had put him in the wrong division when they moved him. It is so frustrating. And even though I see no one else has replied to you on here, I'm sure your fiance is not the only one. Who knows how many that has happened to and they don't post it, or also to recruits whose loved ones aren't on this site. There are 800-1000 recruits in every PIR date, and I see there are only like 45 members of this group with the PIR date of 7/1. That means there are A LOT of recruits who are not represented by anyone on this website. I'm SURE he is not the only one.

hi tammy,
ya i read your story on the 6/25 pir date. Its horrible at least in my case it was my fiancees fault he got held back. have they given him a chance to pick a new job yet? thats gotta be tough to not even know what your gonna do after you get out. What div was he put into i just found out Jason was put in 230. It's so nice to hear that he is not the only one. Luckily for us its only 6 days later because of the holiday not 7 lol. it will all be over soon and we will be able to look back at this and laugh! i cant wiat!

Well, as far as he has told me it wasn't his fault! lol I guess he was supposed to be picking a new job, but I don't know what it is yet. He was put in ship 9 div 228. Yes, 7/1 isn't too bad, and we should get an extra day with them unless they are a grad and go.
And our recruiter said not too many are grad n go so that's good. -

ya im assuming hes not a grad and go the way i see it is that mabye jason was held back for a reasoin i may not have been able to see when i was so upset mabye its because we get more time together or mabye it will let him be here for our wedding date so we dont have to cancel it idk exactly what it is but all things happen for a reason

That's a good way to think. Hard sometimes, but the best way. Helps you not worry so much but try to think things are always the way they are supposed to be even if WE can't see the reason. We can't see the future or the 'big picture'. Just keep believing that everything that happens is so things WILL work out the best.
My friends daughter's fiance is in the Navy, I can't remember where he is at but not boot camp, he's out of that. Anyway she is trying to plan their wedding too and has been very stressful cause they keep changing his orders of when he can come back and stuff. Her name is Monica. I told her to get on N4M's cause you were on here trying to do the same thing. And I thought it might help her if she had someone else to talk to who was going through the same things. So she did get on and requested to join the wives/girlfriends/fiances group. I don't know what she called herself on there but would you mind if I gave her your name on here? Also i sent you a friend request from me. -
