Got my Sailors call!!!!! Yay! I asked if all passed and he said about 10 are being held back 2 weeks ...
Oh, no! So happy for you, but already praying for those SR's and Mom's & Dads who don't receive a call like yours.
Yes Patricks Mom...definitly... :-) when my daughter graduated , she was helping some recruits in her division who didn't pass and were held back 2 weeks and put into her division... they graduated 2 weeks later!
I just got my "I'm A Sailor" call, he was very happy!, got to talk for about 30 minutes. They were getting energy drinks and candy bars.
Whoo Hoo ME TOO! Way to go my girly! She's a SAILOR!!
so glad you got your calls.
congratulations mom's!! great news, but sad about the "10". Derek said some people had some breathing difficulties
Serena thought the whole division passed. Maybe she didn't see something that Derek did, she said she had watch after BS21~
Honestly, maybe some of the people that didn't make it were from other divisions that went thru b.s. with him. He sounded very tired.
My son said that everyone passed too. He said he had been up about 40 hours, and they were going to bed early tonight.
My son sounded so exhausted but happy.
donna, Co Mom and Navy Mom - SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy for you all and your SR's! Congratulations!!! Navy Mom, thank you also for asking Derek about Patrick. The information you shared (although I had NO IDEA he was ON crutches), MADE MY DAY! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
