First Photographs of OCC209

Photos of the Physical Fitness Test (PFT)


First Photos

Carolyn found the first photos from Caleb's OCC. She examined every one closely, even searching the candidates in the background, for any "Caleb Sightings." Regrettably, she did not find him in any of the posted photos. Still, the photos suggest Caleb passed the PFT. If he failed, I think we would have heard by now—either from him or from Captain Kline.

When we lived in Indonesia I would often go out to remote villages for weeks at a time. I was completely out of touch with folks because there was no means of communication. I always told Carolyn that "no news is good news." If something is wrong, a runner will be sent to ask for aid. If no message arrives, it means all is well.

Since no message has arrived from Caleb, I assume all is well.

You can check out the posted photos here.

  1. A few thoughts...
    Why do some of the candidates have hair?

    I *think* I see Caleb in Images 007 & 008. Look in the upper left, third candidate down in Image 007. Also look in the same area in Image 008. What do you think? Perhaps not? I've never been quite so determined to identify somebody from behind or the side!

    Any idea what they're doing in Image 020?

    Thanks for posting!

    1. Image 20 could be early morning stretching before hitting the PT big time.

  2. Anna Marie, the candidates still have hair because the hair cuts were not given until after the candidates passed the PFT. If they failed the PFT they were sent home immediately, so it was best to take the test first. Then if they are sent home they still have their hair.

    The guy in photo 07, third from the left, looks a lot like Caleb. However, the same same guy in photo 08 does not look like Caleb. Carolyn and I disagree on the identity, or at least are uncertain.

    Good eyes you have girl!

    1. Carolyn thinks she found him in photo 8. He is the fourth man from the right in the front row. He is doing crunches. We can identify him by the grimace on his face. We know that grimace very well.

      So that would mean he is not visible in photo 7.

    2. Haha, YES that's the one! Image 007 is taken one row down. So what is the "back row" in 007 is the front row in 008. Compare the candidates beside him...see it?
      I agree, that grimace gave it away! Reminds me of that time we went to the gym together and I hid upstairs and watched him do a ton of situps for a bit haha :)
