Week 12 has started and I'm happy to say that R is still hanging in there. Here's a few tidbits over the last few weeks:
- They were issued their handgun and have started spending time at the range.
- He likes the shooting so far but since he had no experience shooting guns prior to being in the academy, he admits he was awkward at first.
- He became certified in Spanish PMA (Physical Methods of Arrest).
- They've lost a few cadets in the last few weeks, due to failing the driving portion (both skidpan and high speed.
- R had his first training for high speed and the instructor told him he did well. Crossing our fingers on passing ASAP.
We had R's roommate over for dinner 2 Wednesdays ago, which was really nice. He's really funny and they had some great stories to share so we spent a lot of time laughing. The best/worst part about the academy is how close the cadets get and worrying about whether they'll be there at the end together. I have no doubt R and his roommates will make it to the end but I know R would be devastated if either of his roommates left so I'm just praying they make it too.
R had restriction this Wednesday which is funny because of course it falls on the day of our 9 year anniversary! Well technically it's our dating anniversary and now we have a wedding anniversary but I digress. It was just funny how he's had every Wednesday for nearly 10 weeks except this one. I already expected it and it wasn't a big deal to me, but I think it felt like a big deal to him. He has high standards for himself, especially when it comes to Christmas, Anniversaries and Birthdays. He did have his dad drop off roses for me though, which is thoughtful as R often is. :)
I can't believe by the end of this week, we'll be on to Week 13!
