I am very heartbroken and upset for my son, he called last night and said that he had bad news, don't make plans to come to graduation on 11/15 unless he calls me back. He couldn't let me know anything, but I am certain he has failed one of the test to advance him to Battlestations. I have many friends and co-workers that are trying to comfort me, but I couldn't even go to work today and am working from home I am so worried. I emailed RTC and asked them if he was hurt, they replied and…

I hope and pray that you will both pray it, and that you will find it a blessing as the Lord helps your son to pass ALL of his tests with superior grades and blesses him with the favor of ALL of his superiors.
Your poor son will probably roll his eyes when he sees how long the prayer is ;)
Hugs,
Elaine

School Decree
Hi Hayden's Mom.
Please let me know if you get this as I'm not that computer savvy and not sure if I attached it correctly;)
This prayer is written as a decree. Our pastor in Mobile, AL (we now live in Colorado), wrote a very good book called The Decree of Esther. It's a powerful way of praying. The prayer is based on Scriptures, and I have the Scriptures noted.
One of our sons is severely dyslexic. This prayer got him through HS and college with the help of the Lord blessing him with success.
It's a long prayer, but is a blessing to your child.
Hugs,
Elaine (aka chergui)

Join fit program. What does ??? mean? (A Guide to Navy Abbreviations and Terminology) and Battle Stations-21 (BST) have some more info on FIT. He may pass before PIR and be able to have BST and PIR on time. If he doesn't pass before his PIR then he will not have a PIR and will go straight to "A" School when it can be arranged after his BST.
