national guard training again!!

Published Jun. 1, 2008

Hubby is gone for two weeks AGAIN playing Army. This time he finally received his orders and flight info Friday midday (he was leaving this AM), I know some have heard me complain they never pay him on time, but this time it is even more special. They put in his orders for him to get the rental car for two weeks. Since they are picking it up and dropping it off in different states the total comes to 1100.00 and we are to pay this out of our pocket (or at least had to give our card to hold it with).. I tell you what, I was pizzed. Our lives get thrown in turmoil for the 3rd time this year (and a total of 7 weeks) and they want me to front the money for their stupid car!! I hate dealing with the military!

OK - but ur catching on!

Hey, cut me some slack, TMed. I'm still on a learning curve for right wing slang, ya know.

;-)

well - I know it's a delicate issue, but let me know if you want someone to "rattle some cages" - there should be a family liason of some sort, that can expedite his card. Keep us informed, and let us know if YOU need anything.

I do not hate the miltary, I hate that they make it so hard on those who serve as reservists. Had this same problem when he was in the Army Reserve.

Tmed,

His card has been in the "process" for the last year and a half. Sometimes I am not sure if hubby does not push that issue enough.

Tmed,

I asked hubby too and it is somewhat confusing because depending on where and what he is doing some of it is federally funded and some of it is state funded. I am thinking of going to our local rep with the issue myself.

complaining about the military procedures isn't the same as hating those who serve (for smorg)

My son is Navy - they issed him a card to use for travel expenses...Seems to me that's what they should be doing for you...

Careful there, Pooh. I was informed yesterday that the term sometimes seen in blogs here, 'moonbat', applies exclusively to those who hate the military.

Besides, I thought the National Guard was already trained. Your hubby must be good to have to go train them himself...

(going back to watching the terrorist, Rachel Ray on tv now...)

Who can we contact to help? If you don't have a name or number, I'll do some digging myself. At the very least, your representative should know about this...
