Division graduation at PIR

Posted by Chad Anderson on January 25, 2015 at 8:01pm

My son is scheduled to graduate on February 27th, 2015.  He called the other day all stressed out that he may not graduate on that date due to 'too many goof-offs' in his division.  Will he be able to graduate if there are too many of them?  Or will he be able to graduate and do his PIR if he passes all the qualifying exams and stuff like that?

Please help.  I would like to reassure him that he can and will if he does do everything to pass.

Thanks

Chad

    Yeah, they tell them that sometimes. Don't worry about it. It is just part of how they get them to work together.

    Best advice to tell him: do what you're told, do it fast, and keep your mouth shut unless you are spoken to

    Thanks for that!  I will let him know.  I tried to tell him that when I talked to him.  I told him he must be doing something right in order to be able to get to make a call home.  I have read on here and on the other websites the Navy has you look at.  And I was pretty sure you will pass if you do what you need to do and graduate.  Just needed a little back up for it all to probably reassure myself as well.

    I reiterate- divisions are NOT held back.....

    Hello Chad, lots of things will get you and your son stressed. Yes, they group could be held back, however, I wouldn't dwell on it and doubt it will happen. Keep him your son positive through your letters and those infrequent calls. It's important to keep him upbeat and focused. The Navy knows what they are doing... Remember, millions have gone before him!

    That is probably the most common motivational threat used by RDCs at RTC.  Let me assure you- divisions ARE NOT held back for any reason.  If your son passes his PFAs, inspections, tests, etc., he will graduate on time.
