Read where someone said our ship and div was supposed to be getting phone calls tonight or tomorrow? Anyone had 1 yet? Nothing from my SR. I'm not going to fret about it. No news is good news - although I'd really love to hear his voice!

Hi! Just wanted to let you mom's know that I received a wonderful letter from my SR. My heart is singing! I'm so proud of him. He just wanted to thank us for all we've done for him and realize why we pushed when we did and why we always insisted that if he was going to do something - to do it right and with pride. Other news he wrote, it sounds like things are finally coming together for the division. He didn't say so in so many words, but his attitude sure seemed more positive! Yay! Hope everyone else got a letter!

It warms my heart so much to hear when another Mom form our division receives a letter and shares it with us! I haven't received anything since April 19th, but I'm so glad to hear that things are finally coming together for the division. :)

No news is good news. If you have not received a call from your son that he was held back, then he is doing fine. I know that it is difficult, but try not to worry. I'm sure he is doing fine since you have not received a call.

PrayingMom: If your SR was asmoed (setback), you would have gotten a call. So no news is good news! He will have to pass the swim test by the time of his BattleStations though. Otherwise, he will continue to try in FIT DIVISION and if he passes before his PIR, he will do BattleStations with another group and be at PIR. If he doesn't pass by then, he will stay in FIT until he does pass, but will then do BattleStations and head straight to A School (no PIR).
