Good for her! Sounds like she is more determined than ever? Did this just happen? Have you gotten to speak to her? I hope her spirits are ok, this has to be hard for her! She will come out top of the class now!

My daughter is also having problems and worried with the runs, I am just holding out hope that she passes all the runs, she is great doing everything else, in fact she is better then she has to be, but the runs is what she lacks either the confidence in or the skill in, I try to tell her while she is running either sing a cadence to herself or chant or something, other then worrying about how fast she is going. I tell her get a fast past cadence and starting chanting that off in your mind and your feet will keep up with the cadence, just keep pushing yourself and keep chanting to yourself...I am hoping she listens to my advice, I know when I was in bootcamp, many, many, MANY years ago, that is how I had to do it, I had to put my mind on something other then running in a certain amount of time.

Okay, looks like you ladies have been busy! :-) I have not been able to be on the internet much for the last few days. We ended up having to make a trip to Illinois because of a family emergency. Father-in-law who is 90 had a heart attack. BUT we are not telling our SR about it because we do not want to worry her. She has enough to think about right now,...and he is doing great! for 90. :-)
So, we decided to do the ribbons? That works for me. If there is any way I can help, just let me know.
I'm thinking we would pick ours up at the meet 'n greet.

Brandis mom the running is something maybe my daughter can help your daughter with. She was running 6 miles before she left for BC. They all have the waknesses. My daughter was the swimming. I hope they get the opportunity to encourage and push each other to make it during the tough times. My daughter did pass the swimming but I am sure there had to be someone telling her she can do it.

Thanks for the words of encouragement, I as well hope that the girls can put aside any personality difficulties that some may have and help each other, for as you say, everyone has a weakness of some sort, that is what makes us humans, the fact that sometimes each of us might needs some moral support from someone at some point in our lives. My hopes is that the the SRs will work together as a team and help each other. Like everyone else, I will just be glad when it is over with and they are all out in the fleet somewhere.

I wish they would, too. Sadly, doesn't seem to be the case for my daughter.

I have been very encouraged by the letters that they are coming together nicely. She says how much she loves her division. I think there is some rivalry with the brother div and that is where the difficulty is coming from. This is what I am hearing anyway. She said most of the IT is coming from talking, but that all support eachother. I also loved hearing that they pray together nightly. Brother/sisterhood is what the navy is all about and I'm so hopeful they are pushing eachother for the good and bringing out the best in one another.
I know my dtr is struggling with the running also. She failed her last PFT in teh running, but says she is optimistic bc she has improved so much, that she will be fine at the end. She is really upbeat and I'm so comforted by that. I'm glad they have eachother and we have one another! :-)

My daughter was 2 minutes short, even after 6 weeks. We kept telling her to practice running at home, but it was always an excuse of some sort. I am 99% sure she is regretting that now!

Can they still pass if they are short on the run?
-

They have to pass the final PFA test and they must pass the run or they will be held back. I pray that our daughters and the rest that are struggling with the run that they improve and make it through. So lets all not only light the blue candle for battlestations, but maybe we need to light one for their final PFA as well.

I'm with you on that! She said she was 50 sec short on the last PFA last week. We can use all the extra help we can get!!

Tricsious, no, they have to pass everything.
