I am almost sure that Breanna is going to separate from the Air Force. She is at rock bottom right now. She has herself convinced that she cannot pass the PRT eval. It is very difficult to join upper level weeks prior to BMT and unfortunately this is something we (she?) didnt consider. Not just due to the physical demands, but there is a lot of new memory work that she has to learn. and then theres the BDU stigma (which I dont understand).
She is tired. Tired of the run around and tired of worrying about what is going to come up next. I have put this in Gods hands, I know he doesnt make mistakes and whatever will happen will happen. Since last November, Bre has really changed her attitude about the Air Force.
She still wants to be military and part of the USAF, but since having dinner with the family who took her home for "Operation Home Cooking," she has begun carving a new outlook. In this family, the mom was a Lt Col, the dad was a Master Sgt, and both sons were Majors. She LOVED hanging out with the officers. She has talked about being an officer for seveal months now. Maybe this is her calling, who knows? IF she comes home, I predict her next step (if allowed by her separation paperwork) will be to apply to Colorado State University and join the Detachment 90 of the ROTC. At least thats what I am hoping for.
Its not what I would do, but I do not have control over her choices. I have raised Breanna to be independant and above all else to realize that she has to be responsible for her choices.
She has an appt with Mini-Reed (yes, again!!) on Feb 11, and she will have a decison by then. She met with them this morning and they told her that she can either return to training today or go home... then they made a return appt. (talk about disorganized confusion!!)
So thats where we stand. No matter what she decides, we are in full support of her. I am keeping my fingers crossed that if she does separate, that she will be able to return to the Air Force in 6 months.
No matter what happens I will keep you all updated on this blog. I am having fun keeping it up and its become a habit now. LOL
Time will tell... Wish us luck!

Prayers for Bre!! You are right mom,it is most definately her decision and you have raised her to know what is right for her. Whatever the outcome, I am sure she is destined for something great! I hate not being able to look my kids in the eyes when they are telling me something important or I am trying to get at the underlying problem, it is frustrating to say the least.
Bre we are rooting for you no matter what the decision is, us AF Moms and Dads are standing beside you and cheering you on!

I will keep Bre in my thoughts and prayers. I know this has to be hard for her. She has a great family who supports her.
I can not even imagine how Bre feels. No matter her final outcome, this has been the most up and down experience I've heard of in a long time.
Kudos for her for persevering for so very long - she is a strong woman and will go far in life - I have no doubt.
