So we're hoping and praying that this month the Army pays us the BAH (Basic Allowance for Housing) that we desperately need. They've missed the last 2 months, making us have to max out our credit card which is only set to 5k. And worst news of all, we can't apply for another one at my bank because of it. So if they 'forget' to pay us the money for the rent again, we're screwed! My husband's superiors are furious though that the leasing office has already issued a statement to the state court for us to pay this and next month's rent, which is a little over 3k, ASAP. They know that the financial office has been as slow as a snail, if not worse, and that we're doing the best we can to make ends meet. Heck, our fridge and cupboards are practically empty because we had to choose between paying the rent or eating.
At least the kittens will be fine. They have plenty of kitten chow and litter for them both. And at least I'm a light eater.
It just makes me so furious that the military is phasing out base housing and making families go through an agreement they made with certain apartment complexes. Not only is that risky due to the obvious incompetence of their financial department to the families but it's also frustrating because there's nothing we can do about it!
And what's worse, they can easily discharge service members for going into debt all because of their
slow system! I am outraged! We're already trying to pay back the AER military loans that we had to take out for the down payment of the apartment because we had to spend almost a month in hotels, waiting for a darn room to open!
And my husband, bless his heart, is trying his best to find a way to fix everything. He says that I should concentrate as much as I can with my schooling which is a bit difficult to do at the moment due to my stressed induced insomnia that I've had for 2 days now. I'm tired, I'm cranky and downright mad. I feel like crying, screaming, punching, kicking, slapping and screaming some more at whoever is responsible for messing up our financial paperwork for the stupid BAH for the um-teenth time!!!
All I can say, they better pay us back so we can clear our debts that they caused us to go into.
Sorry if this doesn't make much sense but it does feel a lot better to write this. Goodness knows, I can't wait but yet dread for the 1st, payday.
