H class
My son rolled into H class last Fri after failing the RLP twice (once on thurs and once on fri) both times with a score of 79. (80 is passing). He called me fri morning, completely devastated. He was even crying. It hurt more than I can say. Because of this, he would now be at OCS on his birthday - I felt BAD!.
Just got a letter from him and he is loving (not sure if that word is appropriate) H class. He said he got 8 hours of sleep for the first time at OCS, He is able to focus on learning his gouge and prepping for the next RLP. God works all the time and it turned out that H class was just what he needed. He said he is also taking a leadership roll with the rest of H class.
For you other moms and LO's of OCS candidates, H class is not the worse thing in the world.

Thank you so much for your encouraging words!! I hope many moms and LO's are reading these experiences. My son also Rolled after scoring a 79/80 during RLP and really he said the same thing. He rested, and had more time to study. He took on a Leadership roll and enjoyed helping others. He got his voice back and when it came to RLP again he Nailed it!!
I will never forget the phone call when he rolled.. tears were falling on both ends of the phone and he was beat. It broke my heart.... but I never let him know I too was crying... when we hung out from each other, I balled like a baby... Now it all seems so long ago!! I'm so proud of our son and the fact he never gave up... he just embraced it and moved forward!!
Thank you again Navymom1304 for your story!! :)
