Remember how at the end of last semester they said he might have to do a "project" instead of a thesis, which required 6 more class hours? I was almost hoping that they would suggest that, because that would mean 6 more hours but done for certain. Then they said his thesis was do-able, and that he didn't need any more hours.

My fear is, they're going to make him take these two more hours, then come the end of the semester, tell him the paper still is not good enough and he has to turn it in as a project. It's a scam! A ponzy scheme or something!

We talked way late last night...he's going to call and say he was told that his classwork was done last semester and that they were just waiting for him to turn in the thesis so that he could graduate retroactively in December. So he *would* have taken the 2 required hours the semester he graduated...not this semester, but last.

Does that make sense? He has to have 2 credits the semester he graduates.

It's a stretch, I know.

Yeah, that makes sense. I hope you can work it!

Doesn't sound like too much of a stretch to me, chica.

He has the credits - maybe they just haven't applied them properly.

Hello Kim!

It was wonderful to receive a note from you and to spend the last hour or so reading through the Hobbit Hole website. Wow, over 1500 knives! It's great to see the great Americans of the Hobbit Hole continuing to support Soldiers. Unfortunately, my CRKT silver folding knife mysteriously "disappeared" shortly before I left Fort Bragg. I'm not quite sure what happened to it. Bummer! Thank you and the Hobbit Hole so much for your gifts.

The [Chaplain] clan moved to Mannheim, Germany last summer. As you can see from my Signature below, I'm serving with MPs now. We have a great team here. We've had the opportunity to see a great deal of Europe already (Italy, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria). As you can see from the attached picture, I had the privilege of going to midnight Mass on Christmas Eve and see the new Pope. Definitely a once in a lifetime experience!

I hope all is well in OK. I scrolled through your VW Bug blog. What's the latest?

Thank you again for your prayers and support.

Blessings,

Chaplain, 95th MP Battalion
Superstars!

That's fine if he calls, but he still needs to put the whole history of this in writing, send it to the department, and keep a copy for himself. He's really been jerked around with this, and someone's feet need to be held to the fire about it.
