Hi! I didn't see a discussion for this division. My boyfriend is in this divison and I was curious to see if anyone else's relative was in this one as well. I just recieved 2 letters from him yesterday! I'm super happy because I was so anxious as to when I would hear from him.

I figured he would at least have until Wednesday to pass so he could still graduate on 4/22 because Wednesday is the last battlestation...I've been asking everyone to pray for him. I'm trying to remain positive and I am so hoping for a call this weekend with him saying "babe I passed my swimming test!" thank you so much.
I'm sorry he didn't pass the swimming test. Like Dawn said, he needs your encouragement! He'll pass it, he's made it this far!  I'm keeping him in my prayers.

Thank you Melissa! I know he can do it! He couldn't swim at ALL in the beginning and now he says he can backstroke half of the pool and swim underwater. I know he can do it I am just praying!! I know he had been sick, so I am wondering if that is why he failed? But I just feel like he is going to call this weekend and tell me he passed. Please keep him in your prayers! He needs them ALL!

Hi Everyone! Just wanted to say hello! Proud Mom to Brad and MIL to Kricia! We have been in the middle of moving over the last month and Kricia has been keeping me up to date. Can't believe we will be seeing our "sailors" next week. Miss him so much.
found pink scarves today!!
All but one passed swimming today. I hope he was one of the ones who passed. If he didn't he still has time and will get assigned to another div. If you talk to him, tell him keep his stomach muscles tight this makes it easier to swim and helps endurance. Many people forget to do that while swimming.
I hope he passed, but I haven't gotten a phone call today. I keep hoping he did pass and will call me tomorrow. But if I don't get a phone call this weekend I know he will call before Thursday. He wants to see me too badly to continue to fail. He wants to be finished so badly. I just wish I knew what part of the swim he was failing.
Hi everyone!!! My bf called today and he says he misses everyone in this DIV. He is trying really hard to pass the float test so he can do PIR with them on Friday. He only missed it by 10 seconds, and he says he is going to do it again tomorrow. So lets pray he passes and can do battlestations that night!
I'm praying for him! Keep us posted!!
