I got a whole lot less than 86 in HS and they didn't kick me out LOL
I'm sorry it's not a laughing matter I was just trying to lighten your mood. I can ask Chris if there is anyone who can help him.
And BeckyM thanks for asking, she's better but back in the hospital today for who knows what now, she's been back and forth for weeks now. Hopefully they can just figure this out. And I'm so happy for you, ave lots of fun :)

His mom that seems weird tht he has an 86% and they still want to kick him out. Some people are just not good at being self-taught. I thought that there were people
instructors to help them. I am so sorry that is happening to your son. You and he will be in my prayers that it all works out.

He had to go before the academic review board and they are recommending he get kicked out, but it is up to the captain. In the meantime he has to keep going to class until he hears. I can't get this out of my head. I am so worried about what is going to happen.

Just wanted to know if anyone had a hard time with their LS school. My son is having a very hard time and my get kicked out. He has an 86% so far, but has failed a couple of tests. He is so stressed out. He has always been a terrible test taker. He is on mandatory night study which doesn't help because again he is just sitting in front of a computer with no instructor. Isn't there any other help that he can get?

Just got the call my son will be home in 14 days....hoooo rahhh. I'm so excited, he hasn't been home in14 months. Now I know he won't be home much when he's here. LOL I'm ok with that. I won't know how to act both of my kids will be here at the same time! My daughter comes home from school 2 days before him. Remind me how happy I am right now, as the are at each others throats in 2 weeks....ah I miss that. LOL Tornandos hit close to Meridian last week. Such a shame, the devestation. When mine was there it seemed like there was always bad weather down there. Juli I am 40 minutes south of GL. I was I had been on sooner I could have met you if you went to PIR. Darnit. Lisa how is your MIL doing?

Hi becky m, I'm in Socal. My fiancee graduated bc on 4/2 and got to Meridian on 4/3. He just started classes on Monday. I was going to fly out to meridian end of April-early May so we can get married but that plan is now in limbo because he said he may finish in 3 weeks. I guess there's not enough time so I won't be in his orders and we'll just have to wait till he gets his 2 weeks leave to get married.
