My daughter is appointed to the class of 2020. She called us in a hysterical state tonight worrying about separation during cadet basic training. From what my wife could gather from her, somehow she has been doing the flex arm hang wrong all along by her chin touching the bar or something (after conversing with other members of the class she met). She is worried the graders will make her leave for this. she's even considering not going. Her academy fitness assessment time was 31.7 seconds for the hang done her way, which she can still meet.
I'm no military guy, so I'm not even sure what to do. I don't want her to overthink what could end up being a minor infraction, but I honestly do not know what to tell her. Are there current cadets or graduates on here that have better knowledge? Should we be mentally preparing for the worst? She has pursued this entire process on her own so I am just at a complete dead end on what to expect and how to handle this as she was barely calmed down earlier. My wife and I want to do what we can. Thanks for your time
