I really need to think of a new name for this blog now that we are no longer in Hawaii.
That's right folks, you read correctly. We PCS'd! We are now at Fort Jackson in South Carolina!
The LT is working in a Basic Training unit as the Company XO. Works 6 days a week. And one week a cycle he gets to go to the field. For a whole week.
We left Hawaii Dec 17, landing in Columbia, SC on the 18th. Rented a car and drove to our apartment, signed the lease and moved the few things into our place. We had 5 suit cases and 3 boxes that we checked on the plane. Along with 2 carry ons each and a blanket. We then drove to Charleston and got the LT's car and drove back and turned in the rental.
Three days later we headed to Dahlonega to see his family, then to Atlanta for Christmas, then Chattanooga to see mine, back to Dahlonega and finally arriving back in Columbia just in time to relax a few days before the LT had to report.
Our HHGs got here shortly after he reported. And he was granted permissive TDY to take care of that. My car also showed up! So now we have the fun task of unpacking. Which I have had zero motivation to do. Needless to say both our guest rooms aren't even remotely close to being ready for visitors. One of them we couldn't even get into if we wanted too. But that's what happens when you go from a house to an apartment. Now to just get motivation!
We had so much trouble getting my car registered. And then getting the LT's straightened out. And USAA didn't change over our insurance policies in the computer or was still reporting to Hawaii so we got a notice his registration was going to be suspended. And we'd owe them even more money. Luckily USAA fixed it and we did not owe money. Now we are needing to get his title figured out. It has seriously been the most stressful PCS ever.
Anyways, that's what's going on with us now. And I am trying to come up with a new blog name. I am taking suggestions.
