PCSing is one of the worst things that you can have to do in the Army. Why?? Because of all the fucked up bullshit you have to deal with and it's not like civilian life where you might be able to juggle the timing a bit. The Army cuts orders and you are just fucked five ways from Sunday if anything fails to adhere to their schedule. And I can't even really bitch about it and have any leg to stand on, because this is a volunteer Army and we signed up for this shit!! Fuck.
Take my house for instance. I need to sell my house. Right fucking NOW!! We leave on May 30 for Germany and that is one timeline that the Army is not going to budge on. Not to mention that they will be shipping everything I own a week before that and that I have to drive my car to Georgia to get it shipped. Oh yeah, and they only allow you to take one vehicle, so I have a Mustang to get rid of or pay $1500 to send it too. What a fucking NIGHTMARE!
The best part of all of this has been fighting with the Army to be allowed to travel with my husband and not 2-3 months later because they don't having fucking housing available for our family and apartments or houses to rent there are few and far between. Nice. My husband has been gone for a year. I get him for 3 months and then the Army wants to take him away AGAIN!?! Fuck that shit. My ass is going with him or he will FTR at his new unit.
SO it's been one fucking thing after another and I am slowly losing the sanity I thought I had regained with my husband's return from the rock pile. Not that I have ever been terribly sane or reasonable to begin with. Let's face it, I am a Rakkasan's wife. How sane can I really be?
