<p>everything in boot camp is mental--- it is designed to be that way.....to test the recruits and to give them confidence in their abilities</p>

<p>My son finally called today....but disappointing news. He has only 5 more days to try to pass the run and move on. This week and next. I tried to support him all I could, but it was hard..our voices kept cracking. I'm going to write him every day from now until I get the next call. I KNOW he can do this...it's more mental than everything at this point, I'm sure...</p>

<p>It is, indeed, difficult to know that they have to go through things alone. Our son was very ill, serving in Japan and alone for 18 months. We had to fight very hard to get him State Side to get the medical care that he needed. He was detached from his ship early in this process, which we understand, but like you said, he needed the ones he had come to depend upon. I'm praying that your son has been strengthened by this and you as well. He seems to have been taught well. Bravo Zulu to you…</p>

<p>Jerri...She will have 2 more chances to pass her run. It is not uncommon to not make it in the first attempt. She has plenty of time to succeed in her endeavors. Nobody is ever "alone"....She will be inspired and encouraged as she progresses. Nobody said that it was supposed to be easy....Best of luck to your daughter! Tell her of Jarad's story in your next letter...it will give her encouragement!</p>

<p>Okay Ron JOnes. I am a Mom. My SR is my youngest. She had her 18 Bday a week after she shipped. She called Thursday and indicated that she was on "Ship Staff" which I later learned with the help of you Dads that is a good thing. But- She didn't get her run. Even though the connections was bad, I think she said she almost got sent home? Someone caller her quitter and told her the Navy doesn't want quitters? Just a little vent and rant ....Your story is indeed inspirational, except for…</p>
