I heard from him last night. He said he got rolled. Which means held back a class. So instead of his 12 weeks starting last week, they’ll start on october first. Since he starts so late, his class will break for the holidays and resume for week 12 the first week of jan. He only has one week after that. Logically, they should have started a week early so they can be done by the holidays. Now, he has to take leave if he wants to go home. He graduates Jan 6th, if he doesn’t roll again, or some other unforeseen circumstance happens. He may not be able to start at intel school when he was going to because of this setback. I don’t know what’s going on with our wedding date. It doesn’t matter though. Right now, he needs to get through OCS and we can figure the rest out later. With these extra 3 weeks, he’ll be much better prepared for OCS. He knows the routine. He knows how to eat, he knows his teachers, he’s been around. He has more time to focus on studying and not worrying about his family or me wanting to spend time with him. He has a head start, and I’m sure that will make life easier. I don’t think I get to go to the navy ball, but that isn’t such a big deal, there will plenty of dining outs and balls later.
Hearing his voice last night was amazing. I don’t think it’s ever sounded so good in my entire life. He said that he’ll try to call tonight. Knowing when I get to talk to him next helps. I have a million questions for him. I also found out that he hasn’t gotten any of my mail yet. They’re not supposed to have mail priviledges the first week, but since he hasn’t started yet, I think they should pass it on anyway.
*edit* He did call tonight and I got to spend a good amount of time talking to him. I definately forgot all my questions at the sound of his voice. It makes me melt. I love him so much. He sounded better, calmer. He got some of my letters today. He said he opened one of them, but kept the rest, just in case they keep mail from him at some point. I think I'm going to write little tiny letters with just a sentence or two on them and include them in his other letters, so if he ever just needs a little note, he can open those.
It's also good to know that the reality of it is that they really do want him to succeed. They'll keep him there as long as it takes or until he gives up. That's pretty amazing, that they won't give up with him. He said he'd be able to call twice a week or so, which is so exciting!
