Question; Is he still in the military serving or did he already finish? My dad was in the ARMY in the 90's but now is relaxing.

My husband is serving until he is 60 another 8 years to go. He has been in the military since 1986.

9 more days until our DIT. Getting excited I guess. We staying in our new home area for 3 days in August about a month before our move . 

[Jibralta]

Will you be in a hotel?

What does DIT stand for?

[Seraphim]

It stands for destination inspection trip. We will be doing that the third, fourth ,fifth of August. Our pre-move inspection is the 18th.

Then what I hear from my husband today our pack up is 30 August , our load is 1 September, then that night we have the cleaner come in. Our March out inspection is 2 September. Then our unload and unpack at the other end will be 6 and 7 of September. So 30 August we move into the hotel here. And from 2 September until the seventh we will be in a hotel there.

Whelp, officially an anxiety ridden basket case about this move . 😵‍💫

[Seraphim]

Less than a week in this house now and still so much left to do. 😭

Moving is always like that. You look at all the boxes and think "wow, I really got a lot done! I'm almost done!" Then you look around the room and see everything that's still unpacked.

You'll get it done, though. I'm sure you will be ready when the day comes.

Can’t wait for my husband to get posted out of this unit and off this base. 1 more year in this unit hopefully. 

[Seraphim]

We are up for posting again possibly next year. PLEASE !! Let us out !!

[Seraphim]

So my husband is putting in his preferences for posting very soon. Again let us out !!!

[Seraphim]

So excited that we might go home . 

[Seraphim]

I keep praying we can go back to our old posting. I contacted my old boss and she offered me some part time stuff. I would run my daycare still . HUGE need there . 

[Seraphim]

Today hubby has a phone meeting with his career manager . 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[Seraphim]

We stay. 😓😓😓

[Seraphim]

Hopefully next year we get out of this hell hole posting . 

[Seraphim]

So, this year my husband my go to a new unit but sadly still on this base. He just needs to complete one hurdle and then he can be posted . He might go onto headquarters.

Hubby had to buy a Mess kit uniform. $2200. Thank goodness I was sitting down when he told me. 

[Seraphim]

Sssooooo now CFHA states : Since the pandemic is largely over we want to come and annoy you and send out inspectors to nitpick the crap out of you about everything. 
 

During Covid: I am at home sitting on my arse in my pj’s so we can’t do anything for you. 
 

🙄🙄🙄🙄

Hubby is seeing his psychiatrist today. The first time he has seen them since starting Concerta. It has been a life changing game changing medication for him for the good. 
 

His brain just works so well with medications. My brain chemistry does NOT. Many SSRI medications cause me psychosis. My dad was like that. We both have a very strange brain chemistry. My brother becomes enraged when taking cold medication so he can’t take it. We are a strange family for brain chemistry.

Holy crap. I saw the strike on my feed. That's crazy that it is impeding access on and off base!
