Journal aridhol's Journal: Going home 1

Well, here I am in Newfoundland. I've actually been here for almost two weeks, but we only got computer access today.

It's snowy, blowy, and cold here. I'm looking forward to going home this weekend :)

Turns out that the military won't arrange my flight, but they will pay for it. And, since I'm flying across the country, they'll pay my entire expenses (lesser of my expenses or $1900, and my flight is $1400, so I get it all).

My housing situation is interesting - the military has me listed as married (legally, I am), so I'm living in the temporary quarters. However, I've explained my situation to my supervisor (not to the detail y'all know it), and he's decided that I belong in the other, cheaper, single quarters. The reason for this is that if they decide I'm not entitled to being in the expensive place (where I am right now), I have to pay them back - married people are entitled to free room & board by the military, but they take it back out of your pay if they decide you didn't deserve it.

Inspection tomorrow, 0700. Fun. Then we get sliders (out at noon :), then I'm on a plane at 1600 Saturday. Home for the holidays :) :) :)

That's about all for now. TTYL.
