Failed Swim

From my understanding and research on this forum, he will do extra physical fitness in the morning everyday. The last PFA is the one you have to pass in order to graduate.

In my opinion, I have not gone through boot camp and I don't ship until April, but if he wanted to be a Sailor why is he going to quit because of a simple swim test? Work your ass off, do the best you can, and don't quit. What if shit gets tough on the fleet? Is he just going to quit then? If it was my brother I'd tell him to buck up and work your ass off for that final PFA, and when shit gets tough for me in boot next year, I'll tell myself the exact same thing because I want to be a Sailor.

Someone will swoop in and tell you what is exactly true but that is just my two cents.

Is your brother still with his division or in FIT? If he wants to give up, all he has to do is tell his RDCs and they'll send him to SEPS, but generally it takes longer to get sent home from SEPS than it does to graduate. He might be waiting a few months for all the legal issues and whatnot to get sorted.
