PCS'd into the Artic Abyss

Blue was the color of his finger tips, toes and lips once he step off the plane in Alaska. It has been over a week since Scott got to Ft. Wainwright. It has been 13 degree's all the way to -42, soon to be about -50.

Since Scott has been assigned to a Replacement Unit and his Unit left back in October. A lot of the guys in his unit are set to deploy between Jan. 7th - 12th, Scott was supposed to go but his 1 SGT may be putting off his deployment until later in January.

Ok so now onto the continued saga of ~ too move or not to move?!?!

I had it in my head that we would move as soon as possible....then I started checking on the prices of rent and then the whopping cost of utilities, WOW!! What are they thinking?! So then I start wondering if the cost of rent and utilities will surpass our monthly BAH, hmmmm duh! So now We talk and decide that maybe it would be best if we live on post. Given that thought we know that the wait for a houe is at least 5 months away. So we decide to go for on-post housing. Now until last night this was our plan, but as with everything else we had attempted to plan for ~ this one also got turned up side down. So now everything is in the works; 1 st SGT got the ball rolling, he may have put Scott's deployment on the back burner, he has already gotten the Medical approved.



So this is it as it stands now: they have to finalize our orders which should be completed by tomorrow afternoon. Once that is done those papers will go to housing, once they have a house for us they will arrange for our flight. Then they will complete all of the necessary paperwork for moving all of our stuff. Sooooo as of this second this is how it all stands!! I am most definitely not carving this in stone!
