Ladies- A warning for those of you who have significant others at OCS. Thought I would share my story with you so it doesn't happen to you.
My ex-husband was an officer candidate in Spring 1999. I was 2 months pregnant when he left for his 13 weeks. We were high school sweethearts; I had no doubt that we would make it through this first hurdle in our young marriage.
I wasn't able to make down to Pensacola for his first weekend of liberty. We were tight on money with the baby coming so I decided to just stay home. I told him to go out and have a good time for the both of us.
Later I found out he did. Too good a time. He hooked up with a Pensacola Hoochie his FIRST weekend of liberty!
Of course I didn't find this out til later. Then, when I made it up to Pensacola for his graduation, I happened to be looking for our camera in his bag and found some pictures he had had developed. There were pictures of him with a fellow female OC where they were a little too close.
I immediately suspected something had happened between them. But I didn't say anything. There I was, almost 6 months pregnant. I thought my hormones were out of control and I was being irrational.
We moved to Newport. He started SWOS. A few weeks later a young woman from my husband's class, the same OC from the pictures, shows up at my doorstep. Tells me she's been having an affair with my husband since Pensacola. Apparently he tried to break it off with her so she fessed up to me. Told me about the hoochie in Pensacola, too.
But I was a new mother and really wanted my marriage to work. I forgave my husband and we started anew. Things were great for awhile. Then he went on deployment. Sure enough, exactly 7 months later a female petty officer shows up on my doorstep (deja vu). She was pregnant.
That's when I finally said enough was enough.
Now I knew all my suspicions were on track. Sent him divorce papers and moved back with my parents to make a new start.
Ladies - be careful! If you ask me, OCS should stand for Outta Control Sex! Be very vigilant with your OC's. I wouldn't want anyone to have the same fate as me and my little daughter.
