The Bad News

Eric's commander has decided that Eric really needs to go to Commisioned Officer Training. He may be leaving in 3 weeks to go to Alabama for a month. He was actually supposed to go last spring but the dates overlapped with the end of dental school. We mistakenly assumed that he was off the hook. Lesson: never assume anything with the military.

It's going to be a big bummer to be apart but I really can't complain too loudly. So many of my neighbors' husbands are in much more dangerous places and for so much longer. I'm so thankful that Eric is not at all deployable.

Silly girl, there is no escaping COT! You can survive it by sending him lots of care packages. Jason worked out like crazy doing pushups with a back pack full of medical books before he went. At least your husband will be totally buff and know how to salute when he gets home!
