So far so good. Class A average today is 3.3-3.4. Mike's doing well and is on voluntary study hours (means zilch since he's still putting a couple of hours a night in homework, practice quizzes, and studying). As for Class A, he says everyone's improving and that no one has failed an exam since the week before Memorial weekend. Just one more test, a PFA and then they are in phase 3! Oh, and yes -- heading back to the low country for the 4th of July weekend!

Awesome that class A is doing so well.... and yah, crazy, phase 3 next Friday! Our boys are getting through this!

 

And where is the low country exactly? haha

My son is hoping to come home for a few days - he will know in the next day or two.  I am looking forward to him coming home!

I think we are about 8 hrs away.  It is driveable, but not something I want to do on a short weekend. We are definately going to go to the A school graduation.

PFA on Wednesday for 1131 A
Test on Thursday
Room inspection at some point this week

Test average for class A is 3.3-3.4. Room inspections done!

Awesome. Is class A expected to phase up today? Class M's Chief has been busy with other things so they didn't have their PFA or room inspection this week....not sure if that means they won't phase up till next week? Doesn't seem like too much of a difference from phase 2 to 3, other than bragging rights :)

 

Can you believe class A only has about a month and a half left? Crazy!

Permalink Reply by missa_m on June 24, 2011 at 11:56pm

Yup- class A phased up today. I don't think anyone is Mike's class failed the PFA or inspection, so I hope that means everyone made it. You're right-- no big difference other than overnight liberty on weekends. I can't believe it's going by so fast! Hope all is well with you and Travis!

Awesome. Is Mike doing well still?

Travis is actually coming to visit this weekend!!!! He got approved for the extra miles and I am oh so excited! :)

Yup! I'm not allowed to really say that out loud-- don't want to jinx anything :) 


That's such great news!!! Is he flying or driving?
