DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

"Hi. I have experienced this with my SR multiple times. Mine went in 6/30 with PIR 9/9. At w4 he missed the run, so was set back 4 weeks to 10/7. Missed it again and set back to 10/14. He was improving, but the last time…"
"Maxine- many SRs have trouble with the run. They have to get to a certain pace and this doesn’t happen overnight. He will get help and will gradually get faster- running is more mental than physical but he will get there as long as he stays…"
"Prayers Maxine!! I'm sure he'll get there! Sounds like they are working with him to help him reach his goal. I'll be praying for you and your son! "
"He'll get there, Maxine! Prayers for him (and you!) as he trains and prepares for the next run."
Prep
My son w as set back three weeks he. Called today and said the last time his shoes came untied and he missed. By 25 seconds he didn’t know anything about fit he called it prep and he only had one chance more in 2 weeks what if he fails again will he be sent home ? So confused he was sent to ship 11
"Hi Maxine - moving him to FIT is ok - it means they are working with him. They will have someone run with him to pace him and they will continue to work on his time.
It's not the end of the world - just a delay. Hang in…"

Maxine - I encourage you to join the Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) - Navy For Moms (ning.com) more people see the information posted down in the comment wall area of that group page than where you have posted in the general discussion. (When you join, scroll past the information page, past the discussions and then post on the comment wall.
I have been off the site for a few days due to family travel. I do not have any specific information for you. I see the B'sNukeMom also posted to your Failed 1.5 mile run. Her reply to that applies as well to your Prep discussion.

Welcome!! Please read my blog to give you an idea of what the first few weeks may look like.. Welcome to the Navy... Everything will be ok! The First part is some things to do before your SR leaves IF you Can, It’s NOT ESSENTIAL! Up and to the Left is a link to all the Navy Lingo! It is titled Navy Speak and you can find it here. We are here to get you through the “Great Silence” of the next 4 weeks (ish) and the 10 weeks of BC (ish). You will come to learn that No News Is GOOD News and everything is Needs of the Navy. You life will be Hurry Up and Wait and it’s ok to make plans but they are subject to change until after they have happened so it’s best to embrace the Motto: Semper Gumby!! (Always Flexible!!)

We ask that our members not use a last name or email address in their Username - even if it differs from their Sailor's - so please head to “Settings” on the main page right away to set your new Username (be creative!) and add a profile image (no last names visible) to complete your Profile. Then - and this is important! - read these Community Guidelines and this Operations Security (OPSEC) Checklist, for the safety and privacy of all our Sailors.
Then jump right in! Browse around the site and check out the groups and the information in their Discussion Forums.
Join this group for boot camp moms, where you'll also find a group for your Pass in Review (graduation) date; and this one for PIR Reference Information.
Get a head start during boot camp by joining groups for, and learning about, your Sailor's occupational specialty and "A" School; and later your Sailor's duty station and/or Navy ship and homeport. You can also join groups for your own state, region or home town and interests from getting ready for deployment to care package ideas.
Please say Hi when you join a group, and feel free to ask any and all questions - everyone was new once, and there is no "dumb" question.
This site was created by the U.S. Navy just for you. We look forward to getting to know you and your Sailor.
Welcome to the NAVY family - we're so glad you're here!!
