Single digits - 9 days!
How much longer are we going to send letters? I have a couple to go out today but I don't know how much extra time they require for the guys to get them.
Hope everyone is having a great week - it has been a birthday party week for us!!! Woo hoo!
Wow - it is really around hte corner! I am completely backed up at work since I was out yesterday and we are at our quarter end/year end. Crazy busy!!! I can't wait until next week!!!!!
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.
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...
