Kingdomheart2 - I forgot to mention that our trip to MA next week has been cancelled. DH cant take any leave since he is on mandatory study for his test that he has to take in Dec. If you dont know whats going on I'll copy and paste the story I posted on another post. So I will be sending out coupons this Monday.

DH might get kicked out of the air force. Because he took a test that involves his job, but about 60% of the questions has to do with another section of the maintenance squadron that he doesnt even work in. So he studied. Took the test, passing score is 65. He got a 62! Well he didnt study very well and he got the worst test anexity he ever had. And its all because he felt like he was being pressured. 2 other NCO's he works with took the same test and they both failed the 1st time as well. And the higher-ups kept telling him, you have to set a good example and pass this test.

So now he's back to studying and he's gonna retake the test in December. And this time he is studying hard core and Im helping him by asking him questions from his books and him giving me the answers. He is studying on his own time 1 hr a day plus 3 hrs of mandatory study during work hours as well. If he does not pass this test this time, he's gonna get kicked out. I've been worrying about this for 2 days now. Sunday he told me that he has to see his commander this Thursday and see what he says about the whole test issue. The 2 other NCO's already saw him and he told them that if they dont pass, their getting kicked out. So which can only mean thats exactly what he is gonna tell DH.

HOWEVER, the whole flight office and supervisiors have great respect for DH. He is one of the best NCO's they have. So hopefully that will help him keep his job if he does fail. All we can do is wait and see what the commander says on Thursday, but I have a strong feeling he's gonna hear the same words the commander told the other 2. And if thats the case, we have to pray that he passes his test. Even if he scores 3 more points then last time and get a 65, which is passing, all is good!

UPDATE: He saw the commander, the commander told him what he wanted from DH. Pernament day shift until he takes the test, 4 hrs of study every day at work - 2 hrs in the morning and 2 hrs in the afternoon. He also wants him to make flash cards of all the questions from his books and memorize them. Theres A LOT of questions. Well over 300. So Im gonna also continue to help him by quizing him. We also learned something very interesting. The test he took has a 100% failure rate. No one on base can pass it. Even the people who work in that field and the person who teaches the course cant even pass it. So they are revising it. Hopefully DH will take the revised test. Commander also told him what areas to really focus on. So he knows something that we dont.

So thats whats going on. One of the other NCO's that took the test again, he failed again, and now hes on the verge of being kicked out of the air force. As for DH - he's making excellent progress on his studying. Even his supervisior said so. So, Im hoping and praying all this studying will pay off and everything will go smoothly.

Disney 8704- That has to be so stressful. I remember when my husband was active duty (now retired), we spent a lot of time studying for tests. We not only listened to question/answer cassette tapes in the car (yeah, we are old), but we sat down every night with the study manuals and I quizzed him.

We still laugh today about those days. I knew the answers as well as my husband and I had no idea what those things even looked like, but I knew what they did. I remember one day I visited him on the ship and he took me down to one of the rooms he worked in. There was this odd looking round thing sticking up from the floor. He looked at me and asked me if I remembered the questions about a gyrocompass. I said yep. He said, "Well, there it is." He did the same with a few other things. I'm sure one day that wealth of info will help me as much as the algebra I took in high school

I hope your husband is able to go in to this test with a clear mind. It is awful when you have so much pressure to do well. I don't test well myself, so I understand. It causes me to make stupid mistakes.
