I received a letter on Thursday saying he was worried about passing his final PFA ( he had to shave 15 seconds off his run). He his in Ship 3 Div 194 and said his shipmates were very supportive and intent on helping him pass (so thanks to all those uss hopper moms for raising fine son!). The final PFA was scheduled for Thursday at 5:00 am ( the day I got the letter) I have not heard from him.....I am hoping that is good news. I ordered plane tickets today....was that a wise? I am banking on the no news is good news deal!!

If his final PFA was on Thursday and you didn't get a phone call I would take that as "NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS". At this point it would be a pretty good guess that if he didn't pass he would have called. :) So I would count on PIR here I come.

Hi Navy Wife,
My son is also in ship 03 Div 194 and he is the Div Yoeman.
We are staying at the Navy Lodge. I am so excited I can hardly stand it. Can't wait for Friday. My mom and I are flying in on Wednesday evening.
I can't wait to meet all of the families at Sarge's meet and greet.
