@nsjc04 there is always hope some of them do BS21 on Thurs and go to PIR but sit in the bleachers so that they don't pass out from exhaustion, so yes there is always hope.

@ KC wow, that is horrible. But then they still have to go through BST right? So they won't get liberty?
@sbarber~ I do know that if she doesn't PIR with her div then it is off to A school once she passes her test.
Ladies I was just wondering if there was hope yet to get a call, before friday? Thanks

If she does fail the run it may be as late as Tues/Wed before you hear from her. I know someone who was on the long drive up to Great Lakes on a Wed. when she got the call to turn around and go home. Would you believe her son actually did pass the run on the Friday (when his division was having PIR). The poor mom was devestated. But, she went to see him at A school.

@nsjc04: If your daughter doesn't pass everything before her original Div PIR's she will not PIR she will only go on to her "A" school. I know that's not what you want to hear but that's how it is done. Just know this once she is off to "A" school she gets much better liberty and you can go there and spend much more time with her on a weekend pass.

I still have not heard from my daughter. Do you know if they fail their run test and they are a few days from PIR, is there any hope they can stil PIR? I know that she has to pass the test & still do BST, but if they are postponed, how long do they have to wait? I hope this makes sence, if you don't know that is ok too. Thanks for all your help.

@nsjc04: So sorry to hear that the recruiters are ok but this info you need to get from her call the Public Afffairs Office and tell them she was injured and you need to talk to her to get more info, they will have her call you. Was she for sure moved to RCU and not just on LLD? Just make it easier on yourself call the PAO they are very helpful or you can just wait and hope they get calls this weekend. I'm so sorry.
