My son called his Father yesturday....He hasn't passed the PT run yet. Hes having a hard time. Anyone know what happens to the recruits that don't pass the run by the time PIR comes around? I am afraid this is discouraging him. :(

Oh Jenny - I am sorry - I will pray pray pray for him - I believe that they are ASMOD - pushed back in graduation date.
Send a note to maybe Craig and he may have info for you.

There was a response to this on the RTC FB page.....
If a recruit fails his/her PFA, they will be afforded a phone call to inform family that as of that point, they will not be graduating. They will then be sent to the fit division where they will have the opportunity to retake the test every other day. Should they not pass it by graduation, they will not graduate and will stay in the fit division. Once they do pass the test, they will go directly to A School without participating in a graduation ceremony as their division has already graduated.

Excellent, ntz. We all just need to be praying that her son does pass so he can graduate. It doesn't sound like that was the phone call they got. Run, Forest, run!

Jenny,
I fear that phone call. I am sorry your son had to make it. Hopefully he will get the opportunity to run tomorrow and pass. This last week is about as stressfull as the first week. I will be so glad when Friday afternoon is here. I wish your son all the best and i will say a prayer that he beats the time. Like mumzie said, Run, Run, Forest, Run...
