Hey guys...have a question. My daughter was worried that she might not pass the running test. If she was held over to another division or sent to medical do you think I would have heard from her?

If they fail a test and if it puts them back, your SR is supposed to call you and tell you. Also, my daughter told me that up until last week, if they got sent to medical, they would probably find a reason to send them home. She said the girls have dropped down to around 20 :(
My daughter's knee has been bothering her and she got some ibuprofen for it, but she refuses to go to medical for fear of being sent home. Hopefully your daughter was not sent there; if so, you might already know about it.

My daughter was sent to medical at about week 2 for shoulder pain - they gave her some physical therapy exercises and she was on light duty for a few days, but is as good as new now and it did not set her back. I know she was terrified to go to medical and they ask them a lot of questions to ensure that it is not just being homesick or a previous condition, so its scary to go. They never contacted me about it - I learned about it on the 1 phone call she has made since being there. She is back on full duty according to her letters and is on track to graduate with her division.
If your daughter was held back you would know very quickly. No news is definately good news!!!!

Ladies, my son sent a letter and I thought I would share some of the info as it pertains to Division 142...Apparently March 12 was Marlinspike. The division (not sure if just 142 or both) had 25 minutes to complete the program. The RDCs were certain they would not finish in time and would get at least 10 safety violations. (I'll bet they say that to all the divions...) The recruits finished the process in 15 min with only one violation, scoring 9/10! They did so well they got a Bravo Zulu - a grade boost by 1/8! Then March 13 was Day 1 of Hell Week. While some of this is jumbled, I guess the divison did so well during Zone Inspection they earned a flag (4.6). And during P1/WT1 inspections the division earned another Bravo Zulu. So while it sounds like they might still not all get along, at least they are able to work together when it counts.
My son is not the most communicative - or perhaps I should say not the most informative - so I thought if you didn't already know about how the division is progressing you might like to hear.
