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 there.
Also, I had mentioned in the welcome message for you to change your user name - last names are not allowed for security reasons.
Thank you.

He'll get there, Maxine! Prayers for him (and you!) as he trains and prepares for the next run.

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!

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 motivated. He’s got this!!

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 he called he did not sound confident in passing it. It was hard every time he called home to tell me about his set back. The frustration, disappointment in himself and the fact that he had to tell me. This was a failure/challenge like we have never had to deal with. His last retest was Friday and I believe that we finally will have PIR. It is such a horrible feeling when you don't know what to do or say. I kept telling my son that this was just another test, a test of his determination and character. It also is not a failure, but a setback. And not a bad thing at all. Just keep reminding him that he CAN do it and you believe in him, no matter what. This is conditioning for him as much as you. BNMH!!! You can always reach out to me if you need to.

JNMnavymomOH - definitely not a failure! Just a setback as you said. And the Navy will delivery MANY setbacks over the course of their time serving so good practice to learn to roll with the tide!
They can do it! Stay positive moms and be the anchor they need for support!
