Yeah, Justin keeps writing in letters that he is doing it for me and for our family. He also writes a lot that he feels so lucky to be my husband. I couldn't dream of a better husband than him!

That is great news Tickled! Thanks for this information. The phone line Joel used wasn't really good. We can barely understood each other. Noneless he told me he passed the run for PFA and on his way to BS21. I am so proud of all our SRs, soon to be SAILORS!! I'm looking forward also in meeting all of you!!!
Congrats to Jay, he is working really hard for he has inspiration, you and your baby. So no matter how hard the task is, he will do that with vigor for he is making sure you and your baby are taken care of for the future.
Joel is the same way, got to add this for I am very blessed to have him as my husband.
Praise God for all the hard work is almost paid off! Let's keep on praying!

Rackie- you probably already know for when you talked to him, but when J called me, I asked him specifically if Joel passed the PFA and he said he did. He said everyone did except for 2 and they had already been ASMO'd- one for not passing the swim, and the other had been on light duty so long that she couldn't keep up. So PRAISE GOD for the answered prayers!!! I am unbelievably proud of Justin, he shaved off another min on his run since the 2nd PFA (so down to 12:17) and did 60 push ups and 64 sit ups, so he blew the requirements out of the water! And he got over 4.0 on all 3 written tests, thanks in part to his constantly studying even while in line for dinner.

I am so glad for answered prayer for my husband. I received a letter yesterday, here's what he has to say:
Final PFA is on June 29 (no call, so that's good news, that means he passed it!)
He is not hurt or sick (thank goodness)
Liberty after PIR: guestimate 6 hours
Battle Station 21 would be July 5th, Tuesday/July 6th, Wednesday (12 hours long over night)
They have won a Drill Flag, expecting a call this weekend. (you know that!)
He is having his interview for citizenship July 6th right after BS21, he told me that I may not received a phone call right away as the other guys would on their division. Please ask your NAVY SAILORS if every body pass the BS21!
Thank you all for your prayers and support. Let's continue to pray for all of them.
Thank you Lord Jesus for answering our prayers, we give back all the praises and honor to You!
Romans 8:28
And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them.
