What A Day!

So the morning started out getting ready and heading to the base to take care of some business. We needed to go to psd to file mine and Jessica's travel claim and also to correct one of Jeff's pay issues...something that should have taken maybe an hour; however, it turned into a 6hr pain in the ass event in which we ran circles around base...from the psd office to the medical clinic to the precinct and even to the big Naval hospital off base....trying to find some essential documentation which we shouldn't have had to do to begin with.

Apparently the psd personnel have 1) lost mine and Jessica's flight itinerary that Jeff turned in last month so we can't file the travel claim yet, and 2) can't find or also lost the documentation stating that Jessica and I are command sponsored to be here so they can't give Jeff the correct amount of COLA (cost of living allowance). And then they look at me like I'm the crazy one when I say that the Navy wouldn't have paid for mine and Jessica's tickets if we weren't command sponsored! I know that someone...either here or back in Norfolk... royally screwed up Jeff's transfer package if the documentation for command sponsorship isn't in his file! The only thing we managed to accomplish through all this is the realization that either the psd personnel here or back in VA are a bunch of morons who can't correctly and successfully complete a transfer...as in without missing documentation. UGH!

On the bright side, Jeff checked his email once we finally arrived home and found the notification we have been desperately waiting for. Our household goods have arrived in Guam, and the personal property office is awaiting our phone call to schedule a date for delivery! WOOT!!!!!
