Question for all those military people out there including spouses retired active duty I don’t care I need some sort of guidance.

My husband was due to ETS out of the military Aug 10th, also there was a waiver for stop loss ready to go in case they tried to stop loss him (They lost it resubmitted a new one now it’s bouncing between the company comander and the battalion commander on who is gonna sign first). He was given orders in july to start clearing which he did had everything good to go then poof on the day he was getting his bulldog stamp and his working DD-214 they revoke his orders. I was already in Ohio told to go by his chain of command with our daughter and all our household goods I left august 8th. So our situation currently is now it’s been several months (this all started way back in like june) my daughter has been in california for over a month now visiting family since there are no household goods here i don’t know anyone in Ohio so I came back to our place in GA. So far we know he’s not getting stop lossed, and he’s on rear d until he’s released but they could hold him until next year. He has no gear no badge no nothing he was just told to put his leave form on hold and that things will be straight in 30 days but i’ve sorta lost faith. I was told by a therapist on post to go see the CG… (went to see the therapist because I was ready to lose my **** mind) so I mean I don’t want to stir up anymore trouble since i’ve sorta made myself known but sorta been quiet you know the wallflower that jumps out now and again at you lol.
I mean I really want to know what my options are, my daughter can’t stay out in california for much longer, we can’t live without household goods for much longer and on top of that our bank card was cloned they overdrew our account and seeing as we have wells fargo it’s going to take almost a flippin month to get a new card and access to our money LOL!!!! So… any advice on the military crap would be so wonderful.

I’m going to invite someone who may be able to help, if that’s ok? Not sure if he’ll be on for a while, but he certainly would be the best one to advise you on this I think.

Sometimes talking to the army chaplain can help. They can intervene and discuss things with higher command on your behalf. Certainly, families should not be left out in the cold!

When it comes to FRG I am not involved with them because they are a bunch of cheating spouses pretty much. I did meet some of his chain of commands wives on the outs and well needless to say I don’t keep in contact with them.
As for the chaplain I’ve never met him, my husband mentioned he was getting involved we were also told to go see the ombudsman since IG can’t do much about this… we’ve been to IG once when it came to this BAH thing. All in all we just want to go home and be done with this, we want to complete our move get our daughter and just be done neither of us can continue under this stress and several times his chain of command has mentioned my husbands mental state in training some people have expressed they don’t feel it would be good for him to remain in the military nor deploy he lost his temper at someone and wound up breaking something and losing his cool during a 2 week cpx. So… I mean this whole situation is just retarded someone got their cheerios pissed in about something and now… they are just screwing with us.

I think that for now, the chaplain seems to be your best bet. You and your husband should draft a short and simple letter to him saying that you believe mistakes have been made in the process of your move and that the continued delay is causing stress and hardship to your family. Ask him if he will look at your situation, give your contact details as well as your husband’s and ask if he could intervene to speed things along.

Keep it short and sweet. It’s just an initial letter asking for his help. But the fact that’s it’s a letter means he will respond.

Other than that, I’m not sure what to suggest for now.

I’ll keep working on it though.

Thanks for your input keeping it short and sweet is sorta hard with all the crap we’ve been through in the past 9-10 months but I can try.
