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.

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!

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.

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

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