I am hoping we all hear from them this weekend after Captain's Cup! Really just wondering how they did on their PFT, since so many are worried they won't be eligible to take BS21. Just curious, if they have to retest on their PFT, will there be time before they go to BS21?

I too hope to hear from my son this weekend. Even the letters stopped coming. A little worried at this point. Sorry but what is PFT and BS21?

Seansmom, PFT is the recruits physical Fitness Test that must be passed in order to go to BS21 or Battle Stations 21- the simulator training and final exam- you tube has a wonderful 7 minute video on Battle Stations 21 - look for the video by Craig-PIR gifts

According to a mom on the Facebook PIR page all of DIV 177 passed their Battle Stations!!! Bravo Zulu Div 177!!!

All recruits in 180 passed Battle Stations! Only 1 in 179 will need to retake, and will most certainly pass!
