Yamile: From being on this site for so many months, I have learned alot about FITT. Here's what I know: When they are put in the FITT division, they will then start getting multiple chances to pass their run, swim, etc. Once they do, you most likely will get a call. They will then go through BattleStations with whatever group is going through at the time. The sad thing is that they usually don't get to PIR. Yes, they become sailors and go through the ceremony with the other new sailors after BStations, but they will head straight to A School once they have finished BStations. I know it is a very scary time for you....but let me give you a name of someone to get in touch with. Her daughter was in FITT for about 5 weeks for her run, but is now in A School. The mom's name is Tobianne....you can find her under "members" above....her daughter is Kayla. Just tell her that Diannep sent you to her. She is a wonderful lady and currently has a son in PIR 11/12 group. I think she can make you feel a bit better about your son. Kayla's was the run, not swim...but it doesn't matter. They are all in the same position! Good luck! Hang in there...he'll make it!
