In some of the posts I read that some of the recruits have left the boot camp. Do you know under what circumstances they were let go? Did they fail in some tests? We got another letter from our son which says they are beginning the weapons training this week and he is very nervous. If any of the recruits fail in any physical tests, how are they treated? Are they allwd to graduate at a later date?

Thanks, Connie. I am going crazy with tension and worry. I cannot wait to get the call saying everything is OK and he is graduating as scheduled.

I also heard from my son's recruiter here in Arizona that if for some reason they aren't able to graduate they allow them an extention (2weeks) to try it again. That's why they recommended buying refundable tickets. He also went on to say that if it looks like they aren't going to graduate they will contact you buy phone 1 weeks prior to let you know. Not a lot of notice I know. So no news is really good news.

How could you ever prepare her for this journey? You did your best mom. Bless her heart...well the Navy will definatley prepare her now. Our babies will be all grown up when we see them next time. Remember not a good idea to wear mascara on graduation day.
