Unfortunately, James has been rolled back. He failed his four week inspection and the re-inspection, so as of Monday, he will be in the class of 03-08. This means that he will be in Newport for another 3 weeks and that I won’t be able to see him for at least 5 weeks. I am thinking about going up there just to see him at church, because I’m not sure if I can handle not seeing him for 9 weeks straight!! The good news is that I have been able to talk to him for over two hours these past two days, which was much needed! He is disappointed, but the rest will do him good. He’s only been getting about 2 hours of sleep a night, and last night he was able to sleep for 8 hours! He sounded so much better this morning. David Walsh failed the first inspection, but passed the re-inspection, so they are now in different classes. David is really mad James didn’t pass, because he felt like James did a better job than some of the other people who did pass. They said the inspection is very subjective, and basically they had to weed out 10 people from the class, and it didn’t really matter who they were.
They just needed to get the class down to 40 people. So, James is currently in “holding” until he starts with the next class. He basically got through the hardest four weeks of OCS, and now he has to start it all over again. He has been able to eat more this weekend, though, except before he was only allowed to eat with his left hand, and while you are in holding, you are only allowed to eat with your right hand. So, that has been an adjustment for him. He said he also doesn’t have to ask to use the bathroom or shower now, which is nice. And…we were only 2 weeks away from seeing each other…and now we are 5 or 6 weeks. Sadness. So…he definitely needs people to write him right now!! His NEW ADDRESS is as follows:
OC James Gouger
Officer Candidate School
Class 03-08
Officer Training Command Newport
291 Kollmeyer St.
Newport, RI
02841-1641
Although I haven’t verified this yet, his anticipated graduation date will be Dec. 21st. Happy Birthday to me! :-)
