Can I just Vent?

UGH! I am soo very annoyed with the detailor (the person in charge of our orders--- because military).... They are supposed to work with you some on orders and school but, this b$#@% of a women basically told us to f@#$ off when we asked if we could switch the school she scheduled DH to take in CA to a school that is closer to our next duty station in Pensacola, FL so that we wouldn't have to move twice in less than a year because new baby and coming from over seas, so it's not like we can just stay here while he's in school for 6 months..... OH and to top off my frustration she also said that we have orders but, won't get them till we are about 30 days out! So I can't schedule our move without an ERD (early release of dependents) so that we can leave with the dogs before the summer pet embargo goes up June 1st. But of course if we get an ERD the military won't pay for DD and I to fly out because we 'made the choice to leave early' and they will send our household goods back to VA where our last duty station was instead of FL where we are supposed to be going as our permanent duty station is and the house that we are trying to buy (if the agent would freaking get back to us) is at. So I get to pay something like 2000 from our savings to fly out early because the military can't do their freaking job and then plan to get a car and DRIVE from my mom and dad's house in VA to CA to be with DH after he gets to CA in July.... I am just beyond frustrated and DD is being super cranky while I'm trying to sort through what we need to pack so that we can get ready to leave in 3 weeks so that the dogs can fly out.... Sorry it's so long I'm just pissed because it took them 3 weeks just to be able to get ahold of this woman... 

On the bright side DD's passport and birth certificate finally came in the mail :D

    @bribbon it's because we aren't loved.

    Yeah, that pretty much blows all around! We've had to move three times in the past year and a half, this last time when LO was four weeks old, but they were all state-side. I would definitely not want to do an OCONUS move and then move again. I'm sorry your detailer is such a Twatwaffle :(. Hopefully she's just grouchy and you'll get your orders earlier than 30 days out - I'll keep my fingers crossed!
    This has made my day!

    Hugs!  Sorry they're giving you such a hard time.  Is there any way you could see a different detailer?

    Boooooo! I'm sorry!!! I appreciate your family, even if the government doesn't.

    Inquiring minds wonder- is it weird that when I see/hear "twatwaffle" I think of the "twat" as a toaster of sorts? "Twattoaster", if you will...?

    @amerk1107 our babies are twins - 02/19!
    What a mess for you guys, I hope it gets better. my H is AirForce and we just moved in August and are getting ready to move again. It was a pain, and both of our moves were stateside. I can't imagine dealing with overseas moving right now! Good luck, hopefully it will go more smoothly than expected.

    Thanks ladies you guys all rock. Wish the gov't felt the same way as you ladies!  
    @workitmom84 yay for sharing a birthday!! And moving sucks go air force! My baby sister is leaving for Air force boot camp soon just waiting for the military to be funded again so she can go. On the bright side I might get to see her before she goes!
    @greenbunny79 unfortunately the detailors offices aren't here in Japan so I can't take my happy ass to her office and get stuff done that way but, I am tempted to ask my dad (a retired chief in the navy) to call in a few favors for me...

    Can your H's SO do anything? Get some higher- ups to breathe down their necks a bit?

    My H is Air Force...military red tape is the worst.
