Military Brides

Results are in (in 3 hours)

The results are in, we find out at 5 (central time) whether FI is in or out. My hands are shaking and my throat is tight. He's at work now, he just texted me to let me know what's up. I need some thoughts and prayers big time. I know that the decision has been made, and nothing can affect that. I'll let you guys know as soon I can, and thanks for being so supportive.

    Fingers crossed, and sending good vibes!!!  Just remember no matter what, it'll be okay.  I do have a good feeling for you.

    If I may ask, what's the back-up plan?

    It's so weird because it's been drug (dragged?) out so long that we kind of thought we'd have until after Christmas. We were kind of in this holding pattern. The anticipation was one thing when we didn't know, but now it is the devil. :) It's almost worse than him getting booted from a regular job because this isn't just a job, it's a way of life that he really loves.

    As far as back-up, the first thing we've talked about is FI going into the Navy, but I know very little about how hard that could be, so that may just be a pipe dream. He's also talked about going into the Reserves and maybe getting some sort of law enforcement training. He'd love to eventually get his Masters in Engineering or Math, so we'll see. I feel okay, I know he's kicked ass on his PT tests, and he has a great degree with a high GPA and his interview went well, so we just wait.

    Thinking about you.

    I'm the worst holding pattern girl. Seriously. I am terrible at it so I understand your anxiety.

    My H is in the Navy and so far, we like Naval life. If it comes down to that, page me and ask me questions. :-)

    Zim-- He washed out of IFS-He was in the first class of the new structure and it went from relatively easy to insanely difficult with the civilian instructors trying to show that the class wouldn't go all soft. They've calmed down a bit now, but he was in the class that caught the brunt of it, something like 10 of the 13 of the guys in his class as CSOs washed out. So he's been waiting to be re-classed since the end of August. We got engaged right before he left for it (July), with the aim of trying to have our wedding after he finished his flight school, which would have been next October. Which has been put on hold until, well, less than an hour from now.

    T&Ps and lots of good vibies going your way right now. Just try to remember that no matter what happens, you and your FI are going to be ok and you'll at the very least know what's going on and be able to move from there. 15 minutes until no more holding pattern!

    WOOOOOOO!!!!!!

    He faked me out by sending me a text saying he was "on his way home" when he had told me that if he was reclassed he was going to buy a video game, so I thought the worst. He came in and I asked if he was okay, and if he needed anything. He then said that he didn't go get his video game because he was "soo PSYCHED" that he's been reclassed. I'll admit I did a little scream and dance. He's now an Operations Research Analyst-which he has explained to me as "the job Neal Patrick Harris did in Starship Troopers."

    Thank you all so much. Next up: wedding planning...dun dun duuuun.

    Indeed we did. We went with his other friends, all of whom re-classed, yay! Not sure about the training yet and he hasn't been given orders or a base, but I'm pretty sure we'll be here until after Christmas. I'm hoping to start a guest list during the holidays, and once we know where he's going I'll have a better idea of a date. I did start looking at dresses online while he's been on the phone with his fam. So happy!
