The joys of a PCS move

As you know if you are a reader or follow me on Twitter my family will be moving to Hawaii...

We had a hiccup with that during the last month. I wanted to blog about it but with so much going on it was put on the back burner.

My husband called me the morning of December 3rd and told me that his detailer (the person that gives the orders for the PCS move) approved for him to get taken off the regular order section to the one we are on now for the precomm (a ship that is not commissioned into the fleet yet)

We are going to Hawaii, those were the words out of hubby's mouth. SD (Sailor Dude) then told me dates and such of when we would be there. I was rather happy since it looked like I would have him home for about 15 months then he would deploy.

Then during our conversations he told me worst case scenario is that  the dates are not on schedule and they will send him to another ship....

Guess what....

That happened. The ship we had orders to is really behind so they took him off that ship and put him to one coming here to San Diego.

Since we really want to leave this place, he did some compromising and now we are going to Hawaii. For now.

We have to stay on board our current ship until Feb 2011, which means part of another deployment. Which means I will not get time with my hubby just yet.

We do not have a hard copy (on paper) of our orders yet (Millington Tennessee got flooded) so we are waiting on those. Things can still change though.

As of now we are going to Hawaii. Hopefully at the end of 2011.
