troubles w/orders cause of Tennessee flooding...
anyone else running in to problems because of this?
my husband was supposed to pick his orders this week but I guess all the orders come out of the naval base in Millington, Tennessee which is currently evacuated due to the flooding. So orders are on hold indefinately. My hubby is an AM and graduates on the 28th. I know that's still a few weeks out but we just wanna know where we are gonna get stationed and now they are telling him he might have to stay in p-cola for a few extra weeks! I miss him so much and have been flying out (i still live in Phoenix) to see him every other weekend but that is getting so expensive that we were gonna stop after this next trip (5/20) but if he gets held any longer then idk, my head will explode or something! lol. yeah, melodramatic much? i'm just being a dork, i'm just frustrated. so yeah any info or similar stories out there?....
ps. this is ment, in no way, to be complaining like I am incovenienced by the woes of others. I feel terrible for all those affected by the flooding in Tenn. and am extremely grateful there were no casualties @ the Millington NB. This is just a 'hey anyone heard any news' post. I will continue praying for all those effected by this terrible tragedy.
