Two Steps Back..

News from Lackland yesterday.. Bre went to Mini Reed to make an appointment for evaluation to enable her to return to training. She expected to get that appointment sometime next week. They signed her papers right then! UH OH...

Freak out phase I began. From what I can understand, Breanna will return to training in BDU's and the remainder of the street flight will be in ABU's with these uniforms comes all kinds of "standards" that one learns, and so she will need to learn and operate by "ABU standards". She is also going to have to learn all new memory work and learn the new commanders etc that have all changed since October when she was last in a street flight. She will be held responsible for knowing all of her memory work from last fall AND the memory work for the new street flights and she has not been given the information to learn. Since she is going to an "upper level" week, there is no forgiveness on the part of the TI's. She will be expected to know everything that those who have been in that street flight for the last 5 weeks knows. No matter that she has been in med hold for 6 months...

Freak out Phase II, she took her paperwork to CQ and they told her to pack! she was returning to a street flight (maybe week 3, maybe week 4 maybe week 5) that day!! OK... she has already completed week 3 and week 4 and was told by the section sup that she would return to week 5. She finally got an appt with him (section sup) and he said he would "pull strings" to give her until the beginning of next week so she could be prepared with the memory work to be up with the rest of the flight. (I mean she has been in med hold for 6 months, why would they think she would have learned this information that changes monthly???)

OK.. freak out Phase III, she was pulled out of the dorm and sent out to the track for completion of her physical eval. She had already done the pushups for physical therapy, so she did the sit ups and began the run, got lightheaded and the next thing she remembers she wakes up ON THE TRACK with the TI looking down at her!!! She has no clue why she passed out but she hit her head on the fall. SO off to the ER, where they gave her fluds, diagnosed her with a syncopal episode and sent her back to the dorm. Today she is resting. She still doesnt remember what happened, and she is sore all over, and she has no clue what will happen now, but she is ok.

just when we think things are going good, something gets thrown in her way...

By the way... the big snowstorm? 1" of snow, and it was melted by 10:00am. good grief.
