Without orders

Greetings,



It is now July, and we should have received "orders" (the Navy way of sending you a message) out of here and the destination of Harry's next job.



Typically, the process of receiving orders happens no later than 6 months before we need to PSC (move). Getting a little worried Harry decided to give the "detailer" (the guy who writes the orders) a call.



We have been informed, informally... that means not in writing




Answers:

the navy does not have money to write orders just yet....

no changes to your status...

and hopefully by October you will have orders




Problems:

When things are not in writing.... anything could happen

status could change

getting orders as late as October will lead to many problems

such as

my sanity

late date to ship out household goods.... it takes about 3 months.... so will be without furniture, linens, clothes, dishes, um.... just about EVERYTHING once we finally do arrive at the new location....


which... by the way .... is NOT IN WRITING YET!



ARGH!



Blessings to those waiting for marching orders,

Kristie

catching up on your blog! sorry you don't have orders. it's like this everywhere although some are starting to get them. just start looking for a furnished short-term rental to make your life easier on this side. hope you guys are going to be down the street (in Norfolk)!
