End of week 3 and it has been a hard one for DS. So all the prep work before he got to school getting to know his roommate's family and the room things coordination didn't last a week. I did not get told that second week the roommate was becoming aggressive, threatening and a giant jerk. But he let me know on Saturday some of the things like when the roommate and friend came in demanding DS get up and get out his PS4 for them to use but when DS didn't stop working on his homework to jump up he tells DS he is going to throw DS's laptop across the room. I guess that is the new way to ask to borrow someone's game system... the other things I was like yea jerk moves but be glad you are trying to be an officer cause I've had far worse bunkmates in the Army as enlisted at that age. Told him if he got his contract to start for Spring since they give free room to contracted ROTC he could move to a dorm room with the shared living area but private bedroom. So he was happy to have something to look forward to and work towards. Then Sunday he is feeling sick so he already is a go to bed early person even more so with PT at 6am. So I was really shocked when he pops up on messenger at 10:30pm his time telling me the roommate and the idiot friend came in doing the jerk fip on all the overhead lights acting the fool but then they come over and yank his covers off standing over him acting like crazy people. At the point that you have only known someone 2 weeks and you feel comfortable making threats to damage your property and then crossing the physical boundary I was not thrilled that he was in a situation where he and his property are being threatened at end of week 2 there is a real reason to worry that this escalation is not a good sign. The requests to move had opened with moves supposed to be available starting Monday so he went Monday to housing put in for a move and then Tuesday he had a move request denial saying the type of room requested was not avalible which made no sense since had requested all the options with private bedroom which makes up most of their housing options so I called spoke with the housing supervisor about the issue get told they will send the new room offer then he can just accept it and get key to start the move. They take a few hours and get the message and it was for another shared room which I was doing the pound head on the wall call them back he then sends what we had asked for first right away he goes gets his key gets most everything out of the room he had to miss one of the rush activities has been trying to get things in his room on top of classes, PT, Rush week activities everyday and being sick been a rough week for him. I feel bad that I wasn't there to give a hand getting the move done a bit easier or had just bit the bullet and gotten the private bedrooms and shared space living and kitchenette to begin with because now he is moving in to an already established room dynamic but at least he learned the hard way he just prefers to keep his big TV, PS4, Firestick and Roku in his room not even offer to put in shared space. It frustrates me not just for the extra expense of room nut we also had bought things for a room that had a full kitchen with stove and new room only has a small microwave which we also have a microwave , microwave cart pantry shelves and food that worked in a room where there was a shared kitchen with stove. Soo he is done with classes for this week in 10 mins then has to get stuff still in his car up to his room so is not a break in target downtown for Rush even at ballgame, He has Friday to get his room fixed up and hopefully be able to get to put the pantry shelf and food in the shared kitchenette so not living in an over priced closet not feeling comfortable to even interact. The contracted Cadets are going to have a mini FTX next weekend nothing said about if non contracted can volunteer to go but since they are not issued gear think we would have to buy it all and he has no place to put it right now. I think maybe having all this crazy hit the fan maybe we will have a smooth rest of the year! He does feel like he is going to get a bid on Saturday to Lamda Chi Alpha yeah.
