The way I understand it, my son has 4 more days to pass his "run" or he'll be separated from service. General discharge. The last day should be a week from tomorrow. Between now and then, he said he'll receive motivational chats from the bottom of the chain to the Commander of the RTC. Through letters and calls, this whole experience has drawn us close together....more so than ever. He doesn't know it, but over the next week he'll receive more mail than he'll have time to read. But maybe SOMETHING will stick and move him the last 30 seconds. I told him "30 seconds to NUKE". Praying and hoping he makes it. He has so much to look forward to.

I guess he's flying to South Carolina tomorrow after all??
Got the "I'm a Sailor" on Facebook last night (go figure). Now he'll be in a holdover until he can go to A school since he's nearly 3 weeks into his scheduled one in South Carolina. Hope it's not TOO long?
Well, I finally got the call I'd prayed for. He'd apparently passed his PFA last Friday amid some confusion and was going to BST-21. Hopefully I'll get a call today....that "I'm a Sailor" one. I could sense some disappointment in his voice, he tried to explain what happens from here. He said since he didn't graduate on time, he has to wait for a class to open up for him. He said people wait up to a year sometimes. So, I expect he'll need quite a bit of support while he waits in limbo. Rather anticlimactic for him, I can imagine.
Keep the faith and hang in there!
