mama bear---sorry to hear about the trouble your daughter is having. i hope she has gotten it all straighten out by now!! glad you had a nice thanksgiving with her before the trouble!!!

Comment by mama bear on November 24, 2011 at 11:25am: Just wanted to let everyone know that we had a early Thanksgiving, and my daughter is back to her next post. She ask me not to cry when she left from the airport and God gave me the strengh not to do that but boy when I got to end of the road my tears flowed long and hard. It's gloomy here today at our home, the weather is gloomy and no one is saying much. I talked to my daughter at 6am this morning and she sound tired, because there is a mix up with her Navy Federal account again she has very little cash on her for anything. She had to wait at the airport for another Seabee to come and than together they shared the fare of a cab. Being the holiday I don't know if she can get anything done with the account, on this end I trying to transfer funds to the account from her local account but I couldn't make it work. She has a debt card for the local account but she is afraid that the Navy Account will become overdrawn before she gets the funds in it. While she was home the Navy Account checkbook has come up missing, we are not sure what happen to it, the Navy Account branch was notified and they are going to put a stop payment on all transactions from the time they recieved my call. However we don't know what is in there and what has come out yet, they notifed her while in the air by text that her account was low and she needed to make a deposit as soon as possible. So now she is very worried about it same as me. This is the second time she has left for her next post and had trouble with the account. I just hate having her so far away and not being able to help her out, with the money situation. Well hope everyone is having a wonderful Holiday with their loved ones where ever they may be.
