Navy Dads

Well I just got the letter from my daughter that she got ASOM'd because she failed her final PFA run by a few seconds. She sprained her ankle early in training and was on light duty for about a week. Apparently she was being the trooper I told her to be and she sucked it up. But she initially had her PFA on Monday and someone in her brother division called a training time out and everything stopped. she told me she had 1 more lap to go and she would have finished, but because of the TTO being called she had to repeat the run the next day. I assume running for 2 straight days was just too much for her ankle to take. She is CRUSHED!!! to say the least. she watched her division leave to do Battle Stations without her and they came back to the ship with their "NAVY" ballcaps on and she was destroyed. She heard them say " last sailor sound off", "last sailor aye". notice I said Sailor and NOT recruit. Now she wants to be separated from the NAVY, she lost all motivation and forgot reasons why she joined in the first place. I just sent her 2 letters telling her I will support whatever descion she makes, but I feel leaving without finishing will be a huge regret that she will live with for the rest of her life. I told her to suck it up and dig deep, deeper and harder then she has ever done before and finish the job she came to do. I hope I gave her the right advise.
